What Is an Insulating Base?
An Insulating Base is a table base used to ensure the insulation of electrical equipment.
The table is not a table, but rather a part that is attached under the legs of the table. If the floor is made of metal such as grating, electricity will flow through the floor, affecting other equipment and, in the worst case, leading not only to equipment damage but also to fire or electric shock.
The use of an Insulating Base is to avoid such accidents.
Uses of Insulating Base
Insulating Bases are used to support bus bars, which need to be insulated, and to mount equipment such as control panels, distribution boards, and rectifier panels.
Insulating Bases are fixed to the wall, but when installed on the ground, it is safer to raise them slightly off the ground by attaching an Insulating Base stand to the bottom of the Insulating Base.
On the other hand, the Insulating Base cannot be used in an exposed position outdoors, where it may get wet in the rain, due to its nature.
Principle of Insulating Base
In the industrial world, accidents unfortunately occur despite efforts to eliminate them, and electric shock is one of the most likely to occur.
Of course, there are cases in which accidents are caused by the carelessness of the user, but they are also rare due to design errors or inadequate safety equipment. Electrical accidents are not limited to electric shock, but can also cause fires, short circuits, and other accidents that result in high voltages being applied to other equipment, which can cause damage.
Therefore, it is necessary to pay close attention to safety when using electricity. From this accident prevention point of view as well, the installation of insulating support base stands is an important device for ensuring safety.
An Insulating Base is made of polypropylene or other highly insulating material, which provides a high level of insulation. They can be installed simply by tightening with screws, so they are easy to use and can be used simply by drilling screw holes. Since the insulating support bases can be connected together, the height can be adjusted.
