August 8, 20232 yr Am running 10mm house wire in trunking between mains and hybrid inverter. Just discovered a small tear (under 1cm) in my live wire insulation, earth is also damaged at that point - about 10cm of insulation. None of the conductors looks damaged - just the insulation. Have wrapped Nitto insulation around it - is this fine? Edited August 8, 20232 yr by MPAD added description

Nitto tape are typically IEC, CSA or UL 510 listed for a voltage rating of 600V, but can go higher with thicker tapes or more layer wraps. Dielectric strength is measured in voltage per thickness.
August 9, 20232 yr Nitto tape is not a bad choice to insulate cables and wires with, I prefer heat shrink if it is possible to use heat shrink.
