Insulating Mat for Electrical Purpose
(IS:15652/2006)
Application:
Human safety is the prime concern of the mat developed for electrical purpose
and shall be used as floor covering for the protection of workers on AC & DC installations with
the system voltages upto 66 kV ac & 240 V dc.
Construction:
Insulating Mat made for Highly Electrical resistant Elastomer, free from any
insertions (includes rubbers, latex and Elastomeric compound that may be natural or synthetic
or a mixture or a combination of both)
Surface
Upper surface of the mat is having small anti-skid aberration marks (rough surface
without edges) to avoid slippery effects and lower surface is plane.
Dimensions:
a) Length & Width : Standard sizes are 01 x 02 & 1.2 x 2.4 Mtrs.
b) Thickness as per classification & designation*

Recommendation for Use of Mats:
For obtaining max. practical safety in adverse working conditions, the mat should be
permanently pasted with the help of suitable adhesive/resin.
All joints and covers shall be filled/covered with insulating materials of matching
colours.
Joints waterproofing compound should be used to protect insulating & electrical
properties from moisture.
Contact with petrol/diesel/paraffin or white spirit and strong acid/alkalis should be
avoided.
