RE: Agree the insulation is VERY important, and MUST be rated for a higher voltage breakdown than the voltage used
Posted by boodles on April 9, 2017 at 15:28:09:
Sorry for not better clarifying; I had NO intention of using packing tape as the insulator for a power cord; I simply used that for the speaker cables, given its ease of application and the low voltages involved. I was wondering if it might be possible to make a power cord using the ribbon conductor, if it were insulated with appropriate heat shrink rated to 600V, or similar. Would this still be a bad idea?
Thanks so much,
Chris
