It depends on the voltage on the circuit. If it is 24 volts or less and the circuit is protected by a current limiting device, it is considered Safety Extra Low Voltage, and one can use any insulating material desired. For voltages above 24 volts, only insulation materials approved by a safety testing agency such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) should be used. This may include friction tape, heat shrink tubing and "liquid tape" (a plastic that is painted on). Wire connections may be made with insulated terminal strips and terminal blocks or insulated wire nuts; no tape is needed for such connections.

What is the use of electrical tape?
no, electrical tape is almost like rubber so the current cannot pass through it, i don't no what would happen if you used masking tape I'm guessing your covering up some open wires. the best would be electrical
How does tape conduct electricity?
Nope
What is electrical fish tape?
Fish tape is a tool that electricians use to pull wire through a pipe or tube. This website talks more about it: http://electrical.about.com/od/electricaltools/a/fishtape.htm
What are the specific electrical termination methods and devices to be used?
wires, should never be 'buried', meaning they should never be lost in a wall, etc. you should cap wires off in a readily accessable box. if you can identify a wire, meaning you are absolutley sure a wire goes from a to b with no other connections; i use a method. first i tape a written tag on the wire staiting its' former use, then i wrap tape on the end and fold each wire over and tape it to itself, creating a noose out of each individual wire.the terminated cable should physically be unable to conduct in this format, and the next guy down the road gets to know what you did.
What properties of copper make it ideal for use in electrical wires and for lining cooking pots?
Following are the properties of copper make it ideal for use in electrical wires and for lining cooking pots:- 1) Ductility 2) Conductivity 3) Low resistance 4) Low cost
Which type of wires used in electrical works?
Electrical wire is the type of wire that is used in electrical equipment. To strip the wires, you need to use wire strippers. There is also special tape called electrical tape that is used to secure the wire.
How can I use a charging station without a clutter of wires?
The easiest way to reduce wire clutter is use twist-ties or thin strips of tape to group wires into collected bundles. Electrical tape is ideal for this task. Also, try to keep wires out of the way so that they won't get tangled over time.
What is the use of electrical?
To strip electrical wires and to twist mutliple wires together.
What tape should be used to repair electronics?
Typically electricians use a type of tape known as electricians tape. This can be bought at any hardware store or dollar store, and is designed to insulate and shield electrical wires properly.
Why can't you use masking tape to tape electrical wires?
Masking tape isn't designed to be either insulating or watertight, so it's a really bad choice to use to tape electrical wiring together. What masking tape is designed for is paint masking then easy removal after the paint dries without leaving any residue. If you just temporarily want to tape the wires to a wall or something, it's fine, but using it on exposed wiring is a bad idea, and masking tape isn't designed for longtime service anyway. Masking tape is considered disposable, electrical tape is considered permanent. <<>> Electrical tape has an inherent insulation property. It comes in many thickness and temperature ratings. There are two main types in use in the electrical trade. The PVC tape is the everyday tape used for general insulating purposes. The second type is a rubber amalgamating tape. This type is used on large motor splices. Once the rubber tape is applied, it amalgamates into one mass of rubber to provide the proper insulation value. After the rubber tape is applied an over wrap of PVC tape is applied to provide wear protection to the splice.
Could you use Electrical tape on your swimming goggles?
no
Is black tape conductive?
I dont know exactly the voltage and amperage its rated to handle, but for a normal 120 volt circuit like you would find in your house it is enough to insulate it. That's why its often called electrical tape. It would be ill advised though to only use electrical tape to cover up bare wiring.
What wires do you use for an electrical circuit?
wires that have got good conductivity and less losses
How do fix hoses on a 1986 300 ZX?
You replace them or use some duct tape or electrical tape
Will dielectric prevent water from getting in a connection on a transmitter antenna?
The best material to use on these types of connections is a rubber amalgamation tape. This can be purchased at any electrical supply house. After applying the rubber tape overlay it with ordinary electrical tape. The electrical tape has UV protection that will stand up under the sunshine and protect the rubber tape. When the electrical tape starts to look dried out and starts to crack just re install new electrical tape, the rubber tape will be alright and not need to be replaced.
If I unwrapped the outside plastic cover on a rechargeable battery NiMH for the Kodak cameras can I still use it?
Yes, but you should wrap the area that was previously covered by the wrapper and paper or plastic ring with electrical tape to avoid a possible short circuit. If you still have the paper or plastic ring, put it over the positive terminal and let the electrical tape cover it. Do not put tape over the terminals. Use only one layer of electrical tape so the battery will fit more easily in the battery compartment. If electrical tape makes the battery too big to fit into the compartment, you may use Scotch tape, but I would recommend electrical tape if it will fit.
How do you hook up a stero in a 1992 cougar that does not have stock clips just bear wires can you hook those bears wires to the wires on the back of the stero?
of course,just go to a hardware store and look for wire covers or you could use normal electrical tape casue its unsafe to leave them exposed after wiring the stereo
