What is the role of insulating rubber mats

The main role of insulating rubber mats is: safety insulation, safety protection, to protect the personal safety of the operator.

Insulation mats (blankets) are made of special rubber, with good insulation properties, used to strengthen the insulation of staff to the ground, can be divided into ordinary insulating mats and insulating mats (blankets) for live work. Ordinary insulating mats can be divided into two grades: high voltage and low voltage. It is generally used in the area of electrically charged equipment, and is laid on the ground in power distribution rooms and on the sides of control panels and exciters of generator regulators. The main places are power distribution rooms, high voltage rooms, central control rooms, equipment rooms, distribution rooms and other places of use.

When operating switches with electricity, it can enhance the operator's insulation to the ground and avoid or mitigate the injury to human body from contact voltage and step voltage when single-phase grounding or electrical equipment insulation damage occurs. Insulating rubber mats on the ground in the low-voltage distribution room can replace insulating shoes and play an insulating role. Therefore, in 1kv and below, insulating rubber mats can be used as basic safety appliances; and in 1kv and above, only as auxiliary safety tools.
