Introduction

IMPORTANT : Do not use electrical tape on live or active circuits! Always, always, always turn off all power sources before attempting to make any electrical repairs and always consult an approved electrician before trying to make any repairs.

Electrical tape is a kind of pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other material that conduct electricity.

The fact that electrical tape is stretchy, easily torn by hand, can be written on, and typically removes from smooth surfaces cleanly makes it useful for a number of other applications, including color coding - electrical tape comes in numerous colours, labeling and temporarily taping objects together. Electrical tape is usually also used to secure lighting cables to the truss in stagecraft, and is often known as LX tape for this reason.

For example, electrical tape is used by youths in cricket playing states to wrap around tennis balls to make them look and/or act or like cricket balls. It's even used by "second rowers" and "locks" in rugby to tape back their ears! But, for the most part, unlike channel tape which is not for channels, electric tape is basically designed for electrical uses.

Conclusion

Overall, it's easy to install and easy to get rid of. But, be sure to check the label to see if the electrical tape is suitable for the conditions of your application.
