EPR – Safety Mat

EPR Safety Mat

Electrical discharge events present a significant hazard to equipment and assets via earth potential rise and can cause injury or death to animals and humans. Particularly hazardous electrical discharge events include lightning strikes and electric power system faults.

* The EPR safety mat provides a simple means for mitigating these hazards via its unique three-layer design as shown in
Figure 1
* The central, electrically-conductive layer rapidly equalises the electrical potential across the mat
* The upper layer insulates the asset from the electrically-conductive layer
* The lower layer, is a special electrically-conductive elastomer that protects the central layer and provides electrical continuity to that layer, as shown in Figure 1

All of the layers are highly flexible and hence enable the mat to be rolled and unrolled as required, as shown in Figure 2. An additional product option is available that enables mats to be joined electrically, to create longer ones as required. See Figure 3
