Would you step on 17 kV without protection? Switchboard matting rubber has your back!
No, you absolutely should not step on 17 kV without protection. As you know, the human body has negligible resistance against electric current. On the other hand, it cannot endure such excessive currents. As a result, there are a lot of risks associated with it. Care to know about the risks? Unconsciousness Muscle spam and seizures Cardiac arrest Respiratory arrest Immediate death How does an electrical switchboard matting help? 1) An electrical switchboard matting is a protective gear. It ensures your electrical safety while you are working with high-voltage systems. 2) There are different classes of switchboard mats for different working voltages. You should make sure to match the rating of your mat to your application voltage. 3) If your working voltage is more than the rating, your electrical switchboard matting will fail to provide insulation. Thus, if you are working with 17 kV, you can use a Class 2 ASTM D-178 switchboard m...
