Description |
|
Electrically resistant Switchboard Matting is
manufactured from a high quality rubber compound to
the most exacting standards. It is an essential
safety product designed to protect life where there
is exposure to live conductors. |
|
Applications |
|
The Factories Acts require the provision of
permanent insulation to prevent danger from shock to
persons employed in the generation, transformation,
distribution or use of electrical energy.
Switchboard Matting is the recommended safety floor
covering at switch-boards, sub-stations,
transformers, generators and electrical work
benches. In temporary applications portable mats
should be used. |
|
Service Information |
|
The normal grade is suitable for most applications
but special compounds are available for oil and acid
resistance. If joins are unavoidable when laying
Switchboard Matting the pieces should butt together
with no gaps between. Mats shall have a minimum
width of 900mm to accord to the Regulations
concerning the minimum width of a working platform
or passageway associated with a switchboard on which
there are exposed live conductors (for voltages up
to 650). Where the Regulations do not apply the same
width is recommended.
It is stressed that the rubber mats should not
afford the sole means of protection for those
working on electrical circuits and wherever possible
further adequate precautions should be taken against
the risk of shock and short-circuit. In this
connection attention is drawn to the Electricity
(Factories Act) Special Regulations 1908 and 1944. |
