INSULATION TAPE

INSULATION TAPEA wide variety of electrical tapes is available; some for highly specialized purposes. Electricians generally use only black tape for insulation purposes. The other colours (and black) are used to indicate the voltage level and phase of the wire. (In fact, the coloured tape is referred to as"phasing tape".) This is done on large wire which is available only in black insulation. When wires are phased, a ring of tape is placed on each end near the termination so that the purpose of the wire is obvious. The following table describes this usage.
