Re: HV Wire - electrical tape?

The problem with many insulations, including electrical tape, is not so much
the puncture or working voltage, but the creepage factor.  Especially high
frequency currents which will "creep" several inches over normally excellent
insulations such as PVC, PE, PPE, etc.
