There is nothing wrong taping a broken wire. As long as the wire connection is made with an approved mechanical device, the splice can be taped. With broken wires, usually the conductor is put together again with a butt splice. On larger size conductors the butt splice is just bare metal. This type of splice has to be tapped. The code rule states that the tape insulation must be brought up to the insulation value of the existing insulation factor.
