Electromat is highly recommended for total safety of workmen from electrical shock when working in or around High Voltage Panels, Sub-stations, Power Transformer Rooms, LT & HT Labs, near Busbars, near Control Panels etc.
Safety from electrical shock is required for workmen whether they are involved in Electricity Generation, Transmission, Distribution or its use. There are distinct features that set Electromat High Voltage Insulating Mats apart from the rest — whether traditional rubber mats or any other kind of synthetic mat.
Comparison against IEC 61111
