The dangers of using scotch tape as insulating tape

Scotch tape is mainly used for cartons of articles, packaging and sealing of parcels, logistics packaging, etc. But in daily life, it is not difficult to find that some electrical lines are wrapped with scotch tape, which is very dangerous and poses a great safety hazard. Because the scotch tape does not have insulating properties, on the contrary, the adhesive on the scotch tape also has a certain degree of conductivity, it is quite dangerous to use it to wrap the joints of the line or the damaged part as an insulating tape. At the same time, if the live wire and the neutral wire are wrapped or glued together with transparent tape at the same time to cause a short circuit and cause a fire, the line and electrical equipment will be burned, and the house will be burned down, causing great losses. Scotch tape should never be used as insulating tape, safety first.
