Insulation Rubber Mat

Insulation Rubber Mat

Electrical Insulating Mat - Insulating Rubber Mat in Saudi Arbia

Our IEC 61111:2009 insulating rubber mat is a popular product among buyers in the Saudi Arabian Region. It is recognized as a reliable electrical safety equipment and is used in various industries like construction, power generation, energy, refineries, etc.

Made of elastomer, the IEC 61111 mats have a non-conductive textured surface with product labels clearly mentioned throughout the product. Our IEC mats have color coded labels that help in easy identification.

Electrical Matting

Omega  electrical insulating matting provide electrical safety protection for individual and collective protection for workers involved on LV MV HV installations for voltages of 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV, 15kV, 20kV and 33kV – generally used in conjunction with additional PPE such as insulating gloves for worker safety.

High quality insulating mats with excellent electrical insulation and mechanical properties to resist impact, tears or punctures when protecting workers on LV MV HV switchgear and power systems – tested to IEC61111 and certification provided upon request.

The insulating matting is used when operating switchboards, live LV-HV switchgear, substations, transformers and electrical workstations, insulating rubber matting protects workers against electrical shock by absorbing the power that can result from a short circuit or other electrical leak.

The full range of electrical rubber matting from Omega is thoroughly tested to guarantee compliance with all relevant standards. The mats are manufactured using the finest rubber compounds.

The quality of these mats is absolutely integral in complying with and maintaining electrical protection standards. In the UK, DNOs are increasingly stipulating the use of insulating rubber matting on cable jointing applications.

Using insulating matting on cable jointing applications provides a secondary level of protection should the insulating gloves being used become damaged or not provide the level of protection required.

 it across the GCC and rest of the world via our own branches in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and India. These mats are tested as per the IEC 61111 standard and are of high quality with one side ribbed and one side textured finish. Available in Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 and Class 4 ratings. Test certificates available with full traceability. Customizations possible as per client requirements. We also stock ASTM standard Type 2 Electrical Insulation Mats

LV MV HV Matting

The following table outlines the ranges of CATU Electrical products for LV MV HV Matting applications for us within substations and switchgear in the following voltage categories: 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV, 25kV and 33kV.

Class Of Insulating Matting According To IEC61111 Proof Test AC Maximum Working Voltage  Withstand Test Of Insulating Matting
Class 0 Matting 5kV 1000V – LV Low Voltage 10kV
Class 1 Matting 10kV 7500V – MV Medium Voltage 20kV
Class 2 Matting 20kV 17000V – MV Medium Voltage 30kV
Class 3 Matting 30kV 26500V – MV Medium Voltage 40kV
Class 4 Matting 40kV 36000V – HV High Voltage 50kV

The IEC61111 matting specification covers electrical insulation and performance criterion including:

  • Mechanical Puncture Resistance
  • Oil Resistance
  • Acid Resistance
  • Slip Resistance
  • Flame Retardancy
  • Ageing
  • Marking Durability

    IEC 61111 Has Replaced BS921 Electrical Rubber Matting Standard

    Originally published in March 1976 BS921:1976 was the British Standard covering Rubber Mats for Electrical Purposes with a maximum working voltage of 650 volts for LV low voltage electrical protection – the insulating matting standard was withdrawn in January 2013 in a UK and EU initiative to provide harmonisation and improved Health & Safety and replaced by BS EN 61111. The exact replacement to BS921 mats is the Class 0 matting with a maximum working voltage of 1000 volts according to BS EN 61111 – the higher voltage rating provides enhanced insulating protection including performance improvements such as slip, puncture, acid and oil resistance. The 3mm thickness of BS EN 61111 matting is significantly less than BS921 (8.5mm) reducing environmental impact through cost reductions in storage and transportation. BS EN 61111 standard provides specifications for insulating mats for LV MV HV electrical working up to 33kV/36kV.
