Insulating Mats for Electrical purposes IS:15652/2006

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) have introduced IS:15652, superseding IS:5424/69 in the year 2007 with the view of technical advancement & more strictest Industrial safety parameters. These mats safeguard life of technicians in case of any  current leakage while working on AC & DC installations. Synthetic Insulation mat confirms compete safety of workers handling live High Voltage electrical equipment.



Application:

  • Near HT & LT Control Panels, 
  • In Front of Switchboards
  • Power Transmission Rooms, Sub Stations,
  • Around Bus-Bars.
  • Indoor or Outdoor portable protection element for site engineers working on live equipment.
  • Material Composition:
  • Made of Dielectric “Elastomer” material which possess elastic properties and may be natural or synthetic in nature. A combination of rubber & Synthetic Polymers.



Classification:
Safety Mats for Electrical Applications are divided in to three main classes based on Voltage Ratings. Recommended division are as follows: 



                                                                              VOLTAGE  RATINGS      

 

Class            Thickness             Working Voltage  (In KV)                Proof voltage                             Break Down Voltage

  A                    2.0 mm                             3.3                                                      10KV/3 minutes                                     30 KV


  B                   2.5 mm                              11                                                        22KV/3 minutes                                     45 KV


  C                   3.0 mm                              33                                                       36KV/3 minutes                                     65 KV



Color: 

Most preferred colors are Black, Blue & Grey but other colors are also made available on request. All offered colors are manufactured without metallic derivatives.



Surface:

Minute abrasions are provided on upper surface to mat to make surface Anti-skid.



Size: 

As per standard width is normally 1meter & Length up to 10meter per Roll but other sizes are made available as per requirement of the purchaser.



Working Temperature Range: 

Under Normal conditions withstand physical, mechanical & Electrical properties for temperate ranging from -10°C to +60°C.



Marking: 

Every meter of mat should be marked with respective Class symbol, Lot No. or Batch number and Manufacturer’s Identity or Brand name.



Packing: 

Packed in Gunny bags of Jute/Hessian cloth to avoid mechanical damage to the material in transit. 



Workmanship & Finish:

Each Meter of Mat should be free from all type of harmful physical irregularities such as pinholes, cracks, blisters, cuts, conductive embedded foreign matter, creases, pinch marks, voids, entrapped air and prominent ripples. 



Silent Features of Electrical Insulating Mat As Per IS:15652-2006 :-


  1. Withstands voltages up to 65kV ac and 240V dc.
  2. Every Meter of Mat Tested & Stamped to IS:15652-06 specification with ISI marking.
  3. Electrical Resistance up to 1494000 Mega Ohm.
  4. Fire Retardant, fire self-extinguish within 5 seconds of lighting. 
  5. High Elongation & Tensile Strength. No tear or breakage due to Trolley movement & Foot Traffic. 
  6. Resistant to Acids, Alkalis, Solvent and transformer Oil normally associated with Electronic Industry.
  7. Paste-able type can be easily pasted/Installed on floor, if required.
  8. Water & moisture proof.
  9. HSN Code:3918.
  10. Approved with leading Electronic Instrument testing Institutions like ERDA, CPRI, BIS.



NOTE: Continuous abrasion of Insulated mats due to regular foot movement over it results in distortion of physical, mechanical & electrical properties of mat, therefore a regular visual inspection is recommended for confirmation of appropriate service of mats. Any sign of deformation mean replacement of part or entire mat.
