Scotch tape is used very frequently in life, such as: sealing and packaging, pasting items, bundling items, etc. The editor found a phenomenon that many people use scotch tape instead of electrical tape to wrap and repair damaged wires. So, does scotch tape have an insulating effect? Is it safe to use scotch tape to patch tangled wires?
Using scotch tape to repair broken wires is a very dangerous thing. Scotch tape is not insulating. On the contrary, the adhesive on scotch tape has a conductive effect, which poses a great safety hazard. There may be a short circuit in the line, causing a fire, burning the line and equipment, and in severe cases, it may endanger human life and the consequences are unimaginable, so it is not advisable to use
Transparent Tape instead of electrical tape.
If the line is damaged, in the process of self-repair, it is recommended to use insulating electrical tape, which has good insulation, voltage resistance, flame resistance, weather resistance and other characteristics to prevent the wires from being exposed to achieve insulation. Suitable for wire connection, electrical insulation protection, etc.
In the whole process of electricity consumption, although we have noticed that the size of the cross-section of the raw material of the power plug has an impact on the safety application of electrical equipment, we usually attach great importance to the insufficient application of insulating tape to the connector. The laying of switching power supply routes is becoming more and more complicated, including under wooden floors, walls, baffles, and wet ground or water. If the insulating tape is improperly operated, electricity will be generated, which will seriously endanger life safety. Therefore, we need to properly apply insulating tape, and the power plug connector is divided into "+" wiring method, "-" wiring method, and "T" wiring method. The connection head should be tightly wrapped, smooth and free of burrs, otherwise, before cutting the wire head, press it lightly with wire pliers, then wind it to the pressure opening, and then swing it up and down, and the wire knot will be cut off at the joint very snugly. If the connector is in a dry place, first wrap 2 layers of insulating black tape, then 2 layers of plastic tape, then use insulating self-Adhesive Tape to lengthen 200% up and down, wrap 2 to 3 layers, and finally wrap 2 layers of plastic adhesive tape.
