Switchboard Matting is permanently placed in front of switch gear, motor control centers and other high voltage apparatus to provide personal protection for workers. It is also used when tending take-up and pay out reels and when adding or replacing conductors. Made from high quality Type II rubber, Class 2 matting is 1/4" (6.4 mm) thick and is tested to 20 kV, and Class 4 matting is 1/2" thick and tested to 40 kV. Both Classes of matting comply with ASTM D178, Class 2 and Class 4 specifications. The corrugated surface acts as a safety tread while reducing the possibility of metal particles becoming embedded. Class 2 Switchboard matting is available in 25 yard rolls or custom cut to specified lengths, while Class 4 matting is sold in 20 yard rolls only. Maximum Use AC Voltage Class 2, 17,000 volts, Class 4, 36000 volts.

URD/Switchboard Blanket, 84" x 36", is ideal whenever a large insulating barrier is required to protect electrical workers from brush contact with live electrical apparatus. The URD has 10 eyelets and is made from red Type II SALCOR®, proof tested to 20 kV (or 30 kV for 367-3). The R96 canvas/roll-up carrier is recommended as a ground barrier when URD 367 is used outdoors.
Switchboard matting is available in full rolls. Custom cut lengths, for Class 2 only, are available at a $1.00 per cut. First cut - no charge.
