Insulating Electrical Tape Tesa H5398881 — PVC, 20 m × 19 mm, 5000 V, green-yellow

Tesa insulating electrical tape H5398881 is a PVC adhesive tape with a length of 20 m and a width of 19 mm, designed for electrical insulation and colour coding. The tape is specified for use up to 5000 V and combines a durable PVC backing with a pressure-sensitive adhesive to ensure secure attachment to wires, terminals and splices. Its green-yellow colouring meets common safety and identification conventions for protective earth conductors and makes the tape suitable for maintenance, installation and repair tasks in domestic and industrial environments.

Advantages

The tape provides reliable electrical insulation up to 5000 V and offers good mechanical resistance due to its PVC backing. Its pressure-sensitive adhesive enables quick and firm application without additional tools. The green-yellow colour improves visibility and helps comply with wiring identification standards for protective earth. The 20 m roll and 19 mm width balance reach and handling convenience for both small repairs and longer runs of cable wrapping.

Suitable for

• Insulating exposed conductors, joints and splices
• Colour coding of wiring and marking protective earth
• Electrical maintenance and repair in residential installations
• Industrial electrical works and control cabinets
• Temporary protection of wiring during installation

Key specifications

• Material: PVC backing with pressure-sensitive adhesive
• Length: 20 m
• Width: 19 mm
• Rated dielectric strength: up to 5000 V
• Colour: green-yellow (protective earth identification)
• Suitable temperature and environmental resistance: typical for PVC electrical tape in general use

How to use

Ensure surfaces to be taped are clean, dry and free from oil or dust before application. Pull the tape from the roll and wrap it around the conductor or joint with slight tension, overlapping each turn by approximately half the tape width to provide continuous insulation. For colour coding, apply a sufficient length to make the marking visible and secure. Cut the tape cleanly after wrapping and press the end to secure adhesion. Avoid stretching the tape excessively to prevent distortion of adhesive properties.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive performance. Use the green-yellow variant specifically for protective earth identification where local wiring regulations require colour-coded conductors. For permanent outdoor or high-temperature applications, verify suitability against environmental and thermal requirements; if in doubt, consult relevant electrical installation standards.
