Electrical Insulation Tape
Item Name Code (INC) 33476
 |
A narrow strip of woven or processed material less than twelve inches (304.8 mm) in width. It is specifically designed to prevent any undesirable flow of current between conductors and other objects. The item tends to resist any physical change, in contrast to an insulating compound in tape form which will fuse under a specified heat or pressure. It may or may not have adhesive backing. Excludes items not having definite rated electrical characteristics, such as TAPE, ADHESIVE, RUBBER; TAPE, PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE; TAPE, SEMI-CONDUCTING, ELECTRICAL; and TAPE, SHIELDING, ELECTRICAL. See also INSULATION CLOTH, ELECTRICAL and INSULATING COMPOUND, ELECTRICAL.
Additional Information for Electrical Insulation Tape
Electrical insulation tape is a type of tape that is specifically designed to provide electrical insulation and protection. It is commonly used in electrical and electronic applications to insulate and secure electrical connections, prevent short circuits, and protect against electrical shocks.
Electrical insulation tape is made from a variety of materials, including PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and rubber. These materials are chosen for their excellent electrical insulation properties and durability.
The tape is typically available in various colors, such as black, red, blue, green, and yellow, to help with identification and organization of different electrical circuits. It is also available in different widths and thicknesses to accommodate different applications.
When using electrical insulation tape, it is important to ensure proper installation and application. The tape should be wrapped tightly around the electrical connection, covering it completely to provide a secure and insulated seal. It is also important to check the tape regularly for any signs of wear or damage, as this can compromise its effectiveness.
Overall, electrical insulation tape is an essential component in electrical and electronic equipment, providing a reliable and safe method of insulating and protecting electrical connections.
