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

2 2
Unsafe in case of leakage of current. Tested from small electrodes as
100% shock proof under leakage current 10 mA
per IS:2584-1963 the value of the leakage current is 160 mA per sq. mtr.
