An IS 15652-certified electrical rubber insulation mat rated for 11 kV, 22 kV, or 33 kV — mandatory safety flooring for switchgear rooms and HT panels — stocked at Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati, price on request.
The electrical rubber insulation mat is a passive but critical personal protective device in any switchgear room, HT panel area, or live electrical maintenance zone. Standing on a certified mat breaks the path to earth through the worker's feet — the primary route for electrocution in ground-fault and arcing incidents. IS 15652 (Bureau of Indian Standards specification for rubber mats for electrical purposes) sets the dielectric strength, physical dimensions, and test protocol that mats must pass to be sold in India.
State electricity boards in Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, and Nagaland mandate IS 15652 mats in all substations and HT switch rooms. Industrial facilities — tea-estate power plants, paper mills, oil-refinery substations in Assam's Digboi region, and cement plants — are required under electricity safety regulations to provide certified mats at every switchgear panel. Electrical contractors who commission HT equipment must demonstrate that mats are in place before the distribution company energises the feeder.
Multi Trade Combines stocks 11 kV, 22 kV, and 33 kV class mats in standard widths (0.9 m and 1.2 m) cut to required lengths. We can advise on IS 15652 class selection for your specific application — call or WhatsApp our counter in Guwahati for current stock and pricing.

IS 15652 defines three classes: Class A tested to 11 kV, Class B tested to 22 kV, and Class C tested to 33 kV. The appropriate class depends on the voltage of the electrical equipment being serviced. Most state electricity board substations and industrial HT switchgear rooms in Assam specify 11 kV or 33 kV mats. Always verify the class before purchase — never use a lower-rated mat in a higher-voltage area.
IS 15652 recommends periodic electrical testing of mats in service — typically every 6 months in demanding environments. Physical inspection should be done before each use: look for cuts, cracks, holes, and surface degradation. Mats that are chemically contaminated (oil, acid) or show dielectric breakdown must be immediately replaced. Shelf life in a cool, dark store is typically 5–10 years from manufacture if unused and properly stored away from ozone sources.
