In the application of electrical wiring:
- the conductor (e.g. copper) carries the electricity where it is needed
- the insulator (e.g. PVC) around the conductor keeps the electricity from going where it is not needed
There are many many other applications, this is just one.

What is the definition of bare wire or conductor?
uncovered conductor such as insulation ,that is said to be bare conductor.
Is a book a conductor or a insulation?
insulator
What is the other name of eletrical isolator?
Insulation. Non-conductor
Is knife blade a conductor or an insulator?
Conduction or insulation depends on material, not shape or purpose. A metal blade is a conductor.
This melts if the current gets to high?
The conductor's insulation can melt if the current gets higher than the ampacity of the conductor.
Is a knife blade a conductor or a insulator?
Conduction or insulation depends on material, not shape or purpose. A metal blade is a conductor.
What is the maximum temperature rating of a wire's insulation on a conductor?
The four main conductor insulation rated temperatures that are used in the electrical trade are 60, 75, 90, and 105 degrees C.
What happens to insulation resistance when increasing cable length?
The insulation resistance remains the same throughout the entire length of the conductor.
What are some of the different types of insulation?
An insulator is a poor conductor of energy. For example; Rubber is a poor conductor of electricity Rock is a poor conductor of heat A sponge is a poor conductor of sound.
Is cavity wall insulation a conductor or insulator?
Cavity wall insulation is an insulator. It is designed to fill the gap between the walls, providing thermal resistance to reduce heat loss in buildings.
Is paper a thermal conductor?
No, paper is not a good thermal conductor. It is a poor conductor of heat, which is why it is commonly used as insulation to keep things warm, like wrapping food or drinks.
Is 200Mohms an acceptable result when carrying out an insulation resistance live-live test on a shower block?
If you have 200 megohms on an insulation test of a conductor it is more than enough to feel safe about applying a voltage to the conductor with out it shorting to ground.
