Insulating Mats for Electrical Safety

Electrical insulating mats provide an electrically insulating standing surface in front of switchgear, electrical cabinets and other electrical work areas. At diconfa, you can find insulating mats made from SBR rubber in different versions with 30 or 50 kV dielectric strength – slip-resistant and cut to fit the required area.

Insulating Mats as Standing Protection at Electrical Installations

In switch rooms, operating areas and electrical workplaces, a suitable insulating mat can be used as a non-conductive standing surface. It forms an insulating layer between the person working and the floor and is specifically intended for areas where electrical hazards must be taken into account.

Typical applications include areas in front of electrical cabinets and switchgear, test stations, as well as rooms with electrical machines and technical installations. The required version depends on the requirements of the respective workplace and the technical data of the insulating mat.

Insulating Mats with 30 or 50 kV Dielectric Strength

The VDE insulating mats currently offered by diconfa are available in two material thicknesses and versions. This allows the mat to be selected according to the technical requirements of the respective area of use.

3 mm Insulating Mat up to 30 kV

The VDE insulating mat with a material thickness of 3 mm is made from SBR rubber and has a dielectric strength of up to 30,000 volts or 30 kV. It is suitable as an insulating standing surface for various electrical work areas.

4.5 mm Insulating Mat up to 50 kV

For higher requirements, the Profiline VDE insulating mat with a material thickness of 4.5 mm is available. This version has a dielectric strength of up to 50,000 volts or 50 kV.

According to the respective product information, both versions have been tested in accordance with DIN EN 60243-1:2014 and VDE 0303/21. When selecting a mat for a specific electrical work area, the technical product data and the applicable operational safety requirements should always be taken into account.

Where Are Electrical Insulating Mats Used?

Electrically insulating rubber mats are used particularly in technical and commercial areas where people work on or near electrical installations.

Typical areas of use for the insulating mats currently offered include, for example:

  • switchgear and switch rooms
  • workplaces in front of electrical cabinets
  • test rooms and electrical test stations
  • power stations
  • generator rooms
  • electrical machines and installations
  • server rooms and technical operating rooms
  • high-voltage applications
  • industrial and trade businesses with electrical work areas

The specific suitability of an insulating mat should always be checked for the respective workplace and the electrical requirements present there.

SBR Rubber with a Slip-Resistant Surface

The current diconfa insulating mats are made from SBR rubber. In addition to their electrical insulating function, the mats have a structured surface that helps provide a secure standing area.

The top side has fine ribbing, while the underside is also designed to help the mat lie stably on the floor. The available versions are flexible, mechanically durable and intended for professional use in technical work areas.

Selecting Insulating Mats to Suit the Workplace

Consider the Dielectric Strength

An important selection criterion is the required electrical rating. diconfa currently offers versions with dielectric strengths of 30 kV and 50 kV. The selection should be made according to the requirements of the respective work area.

Select the Material Thickness

The currently available 30 kV version has a material thickness of 3 mm, while the 50 kV insulating mat is 4.5 mm thick. The technical differences and test values can be found on the respective product pages.

Match the Dimensions to the Work Area

A different mat area is often required in front of a single electrical cabinet than in front of a longer switchgear installation or at a large work area. The insulating mats offered by diconfa can therefore be configured in different widths and lengths.

Custom Insulating Mats for Electrical Cabinets and Switchgear

A suitable cut makes it easier to equip existing work areas and avoids unnecessary overhangs or additional cutting on site. diconfa insulating mats can therefore be configured in width and length according to the required area.

This allows both compact standing areas in front of individual electrical cabinets and longer areas in front of switchgear to be equipped. The currently available minimum and maximum dimensions can be found directly in the respective product configurator.

Installation and Fixing of the Insulating Mat

Depending on the application, the insulating mats can be laid loose on a suitable substrate. If required, according to the product information, they can also be fixed in place with a suitable contact adhesive.

Before use, the mat should lie flat and securely. The specific installation should be adapted to the substrate, workplace and operational requirements.

Further Rubber Runners and Technical Rubber Mats

Insulating mats are specifically designed for electrically sensitive work areas. For applications where, for example, slip resistance, floor protection or mechanical durability are the main requirements, other rubber mats may be the more suitable solution.

You can find an overview of further profiled and technical mats in the parent category Rubber Mats and Rubber Runners.

Frequently Asked Questions

An electrical insulating mat is an electrically insulating standing surface for work areas around electrical installations. It is used, for example, in front of electrical cabinets, switchgear or at electrical test stations.

Typical applications include switch rooms, switchgear, power stations, test rooms, generator rooms, server areas and workplaces in front of electrical machines or electrical cabinets.

Two versions are currently available: a 3 mm thick SBR insulating mat with a dielectric strength of 30 kV and a 4.5 mm thick version with a dielectric strength of 50 kV.

The two current versions differ mainly in material thickness and dielectric strength. The 3 mm version is designed for a dielectric strength of up to 30 kV, while the 4.5 mm version is designed for up to 50 kV. Which version is required depends on the requirements of the respective workplace.

The diconfa insulating mats currently offered are made from SBR rubber. In these products, the material is used because of its electrically insulating and mechanically durable properties.

According to the current product information, the diconfa insulating mats have been tested in accordance with DIN EN 60243-1:2014 and VDE 0303/21. The exact specifications for the respective version can be found on the corresponding product page.

Yes. Width and length can be configured individually within the dimensions available for the respective product. This allows the mat to be adapted to individual workplaces or longer areas in front of switchgear.

Yes. The current versions have a finely structured or ribbed surface and a profiled underside. In addition to electrical insulation, this helps provide a secure standing surface.

Yes. Workplaces in front of electrical cabinets are among the explicitly stated applications for the current diconfa insulating mats. The required version and size should be selected to suit the respective workplace.

Depending on the application, the mats can be laid loose on a suitable substrate. According to the product information, they can also be fixed with a suitable contact adhesive if required. It is important that the mat is laid flat and securely in accordance with the requirements of the workplace.
