Switchboard Matting and its Properties

Switchboard Matting is generally used for the safety purpose from electrical accidents. The switchboard matting contains rubber in it which gives the high insulating property to the mats. These mats are used near control panels and switchboard to prevent electric shock hence they are called Switchboard Matting. These mats are used in high electrical power environment also and the thickness of the mats increases with the increase in electrical power. More the thickness higher will be the insulating property of the mats and hence more current can be blocked by these mats.

DURATUF is the only name which comes to one’s mind if he/she discusses the electrical safety equipment. DURATUF is one of the largest electrical safety equipment suppliers of the world. DURATUF PRODUKT is an Indian company but the products of the DURATUF are being used all over the world. DURATUF exported thousands of safety insulating mats in different parts of the world. The company till now exported their products to about 25 different nations and still working hard to expand the business. DURATUF does not aim to the expansion of business for their profits only but for the protection of all the workers who works in the electrical environment.

Properties Of Switchboard Matting

• The foremost property of the rubber mats is its insulating property which helps to block the high current towards the ground through an unexpected path. Eg. If a worker is working near high electrical power lines and suddenly the worker comes in direct contact with the live wire, then all the current will flow towards the ground through his body. If the worker is standing on the insulating mat, then it will block the current to flow through the worker’s body and hence the life of the worker can be saved.
• The physical properties like tensile strength and elongation of the mats are also high which helps to bear the load.
• The temperature stability of the insulating mats is also very high i.e. they can be used in a wide temperature range.
