  Are you skipping safety measures in your workplace?  How about the zones having high-voltage machines and intricate circuits?  Do you know what dangers prevail due to your neglect? Within a fraction of a second, your "healthy workplace" can be filled with injured workers. Ambulance, emergency situations, reporting, documentation, and legal issues. Who would want to face that? This is why industries mandate the use of safety equipment like electrical switchboard matting to ensure the electrical safety of the workers. The switchboard matting rubber adheres to the ASTM D178 standard and is widely used across the world for optimizing safety in high voltage areas.

  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...
