Comparison of Electromat & Rubbermat

COMPARISON BETWEEN
ELECTROMAT INSULATING MATS
&
TRADITIONAL RUBBER MATS
ELECTROMAT HIGH VOLTAGE MATS
NEW IS 15652 : 2006

TRADITIONAL RUBBER MATS
OLD IS 5424 :1969

1 High electrical insulation resistance 10,00,000 mcga ohm when measured with 500 V meggar 1 Poor Electrical Insulation Resistance
2

100% shock proof under leakage current 10 mA

2

Unsafe in case of leakage of current. Tested from small electrodes as per IS:2584-1963 the value of the leakage current is 160 mA per sq. mtr.

3

Fire Retardant

3

Highly fire prone & fire encouraging.

4

No effect of :
Transformer oil
Acid
Alkali

Diesel
4

Adversely effected by :
Transformer oil
Acid
Alkali

Diesel
5 High dielectric strength of 45Kv for 1 minute for 2.5 mm thick mat 5 The withstand voltage is 15Kv for one minute
6 High breakdown voltage 45 Kv for 2.5 mm Mat 6 B.D. voltage 40 Kv
7 Moisture proof 7 Absorbs moisture
8 Pastable type permanent fixed smooth trolley movement 8 Cannot be fixed permanently
9 Washable – Easy to clean 9 Not possible to clean
10 High tensile & elongation properties to withstand good mechanical properties 10 No such properties as mat has to be removed for movement of trolleys
'Electromat" means Total Safety from Electric shocks
