How do the safety standards (for example, IEC 60950 and their clones) define 'insulating tape'? Are the insulating properties determined as applied in the end product by hipot and leakage current? On Mon, 29 Apr 2002 12:16:16 -0700 (PDT), Rich Nute wrote: >Thanks for sharing your findings on ins

Hi Doug: Thanks for sharing your findings on insulating tape and anti-static tape. All insulators have the property of insulation resistance. Modern insulations have insulation resistances in the gigaohm and teraohm ranges. I would guess that anti-static insulators have a relatively low va

Greetings all, Last week I had an interesting experience I thought was worth sharing with the discussion group. It's all about anti-static insulating tape, which sounds oxymoronic to me. Currently, in my company, we use several styles of tape for safety insulation, both in desi
