Electrical Tape in Electrical Circuits
Electrical tape is also known as insulating tape. The term “electrical” in electrical tape indicates a clue that this kind of tape has something to do with electrical wiring and connections. Electrical tape is made from a non-conductive material, which means that in most cases it will not allow electricity to pass through it to the ground. Electrical tape acts as a crucial component in providing insulation, protection, and safety for electrical circuits or components. Electric tape is mainly used to insulate wires to prevent electric shock. Using electrical tape is essential for anyone working with electrical systems. Electric tape can be made up of many plastic materials PVC polyvinyl chloride and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR).
