Why do electricians, when working with electrical installations, stand on rubber mats or wear dielectric galoshes (boots)? Is it enough to isolate a person from the ground to prevent electric shock?
Rubber mats and galoshes protect against electric current. since rubber is a good insulator and does not conduct electricity. It is not enough to isolate a person from the ground in order to completely eliminate electric shock.
