Insulating Matting 66kV | High Voltage Substations (Onshore | Offshore)

66Kv electrical insulating matting

The CATU MP-100/10-10 is a 66kV insulating matting is designed primarily for live-line and dead-line work – the electrical matting provides a protective surface to ensure electrical safety for workers operating in electrical installations or at ground potential.

CATU MP-100/10-10 Insulating Matting is designed for safe working conditions during live-line and dead-line tasks – ideal for low voltage (LV), medium voltage (MV), and high voltage (HV) electrical installations providing a reliable protective surface to enhance worker safety.

The high voltage electrical matting is widely used in switchboards, substations, plant rooms, and control rooms, ensuring protection for systems energized up to 66kV.

Manufactured from high-quality dialectical rubber, CATU insulating mats are rigorously tested to comply with international standards, offering electrical safety protection and other workplace hazards. They are an essential component of personal and collective safety equipment, often used alongside insulating gloves for enhanced protection.

Thorne & Derrick distribute Insulating Matting from extensive stocks to UK and Export customers in accordance with BS921, IEC61111, ASTM D178 and other international standards affecting the specification and selection of electrical safety matting for the use in control rooms, plant rooms, switchboards and substations energised at LV MV HV power systems.

ADVANTAGES OF CATU INSULATing RUBBER MATTING

Compliance with International Standards: Meets IEC 61111, BS921, ASTM D178, ensuring durability and reliable electrical protection
High Dielectric Strength: Tested rigorously to prevent electrical breakdown during high-voltage substation exposure
Versatile Application: Suitable for various industries, from substations to manufacturing units
Durable Construction: Resilient against wear and tear from tools and electrical equipment in working areas

Selecting the Right Insulating Mats for Electrical Safety

When choosing an electrical insulating matting consider the following:

Voltage Class Requirements: Ensure the mat is rated for the voltage level of the electrical system
Location: Assess the environment and placement (e.g., control rooms, switchboards, or high-traffic areas)
Durability Needs: For areas prone to damage (e.g., near workbenches), select mats with robust construction

CATU matting conforms to IEC 61111, a standard for live working tools and electrical safety materials, providing reliable protection across a range of voltage classes.

IEC61111 Insulating Matting

Thorne & Derrick stock and distribute a complete range of IEC61111 insulating matting for electrical safety, protection and working on low, medium and high voltage substations and switchgear up to 33kV – the IEC61111 standard provides a selection category for Low Voltage (1000V) to High Voltage (36kV). The selection table below informs and explains the IEC standard classification according to the maximum working voltages for rubber insulating matting.

Working Voltage, Withstand Test & Proof Test Of Electrical Safety Matting

The withstand test of insulating matting for electrical insulation is applied to each manufacturing batch of switchboard matting to ensure it does not have an electrical breakdown if exposed to high voltages – the working and withstand voltages must not be confused.

The proof test of insulating matting are dielectrical resistance tests provided by the mat manufacturer on the total running metre of the product and are used to safeguard a standard conformity of resistance throughout the entire section, roll or surface area of the electrical mat – the proof test must be applied to the insulating mats for a set time at a specified voltage level.
