Electrical tapes are used in any setting whereby electrical current will be passed through the area. This includes on components such as wires and connectors. Purple electrical tape - Purple electrical tape is not commonly used in the UK, however in the US it is used to signify 'high voltage, phase B'. The principle purpose of electrical tape is to protect and insulate wires and similar connections. It is important to note that just twisting together wires and using insulation tape to seal is not a suitable splicing technique for adhering to strict safety standards in many applications. Moreover, be mindful that very few materials are consistently 100% non-conductive under the right combination of circumstances - despite the remarkable dielectric performance of many purpose-made insulating tapes. With enough current and voltage, a short enough path to ground and in the right or wrong environmental conditions, even the most specialised electrical tape could potentially conduct enough current to cause serious harm. Silicone electrical tape - Made of silicone rubber , silicone electrical tape has exceptional resistance to high temperatures, moisture, and chemicals. It is commonly used in applications where heat resistance and sealing properties are required, such as in motors, transformers, and aerospace industries.

Wide electrical tape is commonly used for insulating larger cables, splicing and joining wires, as well as repairing damaged cables. It is also useful for bundling and organizing wires, as well as marking and labeling electrical components. The majority of leading electrical tape manufacturers ensure their products have strong thermal properties; most types of insulation tape can be used with temperatures up to a maximum of 80° Celsius. However, electrical tape is indeed flammable if it becomes too hot. Electrical tape is an essential component of any installation, repair and manufacturing project. 3M offers durable, reliable electrical tapes, designed to protect in the most challenging environments. 3M electrical tapes help protect, seal and mark applications in the construction and maintenance industry. Green electrical tape - Green electrical tape is commonly used in the UK to label the wire as 'earth'. In the US, green electrical tape can be used to show 'ground'.

By considering these factors, you can select the appropriate electrical tape for your requirements, that provides the necessary insulation, protection, and performance for your specific electrical applications. Here at Cromwell, we offer a wide range of electrical tapes from our trusted, exclusive brand Avon as well as national brands 3M, Advance Tapes, HellermannTyton and many more. View the full range of quality electrical insulation tapes available from RS Pro, our own in-house brand.Duct tape is a multi-purpose utility product and is NOT a suitable electrical tape substitute where electricity is concerned. You should always remember the importance of keeping wiring and electrical devices away from water and liquids. Water acts as a conductor for electricity and can be incredibly dangerous. You must follow the appropriate safety guidance at all times. Electrical tape is available in a wide range of colours, all of which can help you to label and identify different wires and connections. When using electrical tape in this way, it is often referred to as phasing tape. Below, we've outlined the most commonly used colours and their meaning. Electrical tape is generally made of a stretchy vinyl or PVC material designed to offer better insulation against current
