Without insulation on the electrical wiring that we use, there would be the constant concern that the electrical wires would touch each other. This touching of different potentials could cause sparking or fuses or breakers needlessly tripping. The labour of installation would become much higher as the workmanship to individually separate each individual wire from each other would drive the costs up considerably. With insulation installed on the wires these concerns are now invalid.

Why are insulators important for electricity?
Insulators are important because they stop electicity from going through the spot where the insulator is.
Does a wire have to be insulated for electricity to flow?
No, overhead primary wires have no insulation on them and they carry the electricity to the consumers very well. Wires with no insulation on them just need more clearance space around them and between them to prevent the wires from short circuiting to each other or to ground.
Is electricity important in your daily life?

What is used to prevent the flow of electricity?
A switch. Insulation keeps the electricity from a short circuit.
Can you tell me Which 2 dangers that can be avoided when using electricity is?
Two dangers that can be avoided when using electricity are electric shocks and electrical fires. This can be done by ensuring proper insulation of wires, using ground fault circuit interrupters, and following safety guidelines when dealing with electrical appliances and devices.
Why is insulation important to know about?
Attempting to take a baked dish out of a hot oven, without using insulating oven gloves, will soon prove the value of insulation - burnt fingers!
Is insulation a property of metal?
Insulation is not a typical property of metals. Metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity, meaning they do not provide good insulation and instead allow heat or electricity to transfer through them easily. Materials that are good insulators, like wood or plastic, are used to prevent heat or electricity from passing through.
What is the color of a ground wire?
Answer for USA, Canada and other countries using similar 60Hz household electricity supplies "Ground or "earth" wire has green insulation or is just bare uninsulated copper wire. Answer for Europe and other countries using similar 50Hz household electricity supplies "Earth" or "ground" wire has green/yellow striped insulation or is just bare uninsulated copper wire which should always have a green/yellow striped insulation sleeve put over it when it comes into any terminal boxes or plugs.
What is causing the high electricity consumption in my house?
The high electricity consumption in your house may be caused by multiple factors such as leaving lights on, using energy-intensive appliances, poor insulation, or old and inefficient electrical systems. Identifying and addressing these factors can help reduce your electricity usage.
What resources can insulation save?
You can save money,heat,electricity,and energy
What is a sentence using the word insulation?
An electric lamp may be dangerous to use if its wire has lost its insulation. Attics are lined with insulation to help maintain a comfortable temperature in the house. The colonial powers ended Japan's self-imposed insulation from the Western world.
