Line & Neutral insulation tape

[andrew8902]

Hi people. On my AM2 they supplied black insulation tape with the letters L or N on for tails identification. Does anyone know where I can purchase these please? I also remember they had L1 L2 L3 tapes.

Thanks

Personally I prefer cable ties for marking tails.

You will end up with one of these eventually: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Produc...9ZA6s5JlJuQaDa3qfuhLfdIWogQlKIqgaAu_lEALw_wcB

Cheaper versions are available, but the above one is capable of being connected to your laptop and the various label's printed off, saved and changed around quite a lot.

I just want a roll of insulation tape with the letter L in large font printed on it, to wrap around tails etc.

Well that will label one cable.

Why would he want to stand there forever holding a L and N on the tails ?

And what's wrong with a nice neat wrap of blue and brown tape on the relevant tails ?

I sometimes forget everything has to be idiot proof nowadays.

Seem to be two trains of thought on this, those that want it to look professional even though it may be hidden and those that just want to use a bit of tape, perhaps we need a pole, without any tape on it. Still can't put a smily on that pretend I have.

 

[Dave OCD]

Maybe after you've used a pole you could have a poll ?
And I think neatly applied tape looks just as good as letters going round the meter tails.

 

[Mike Johnson]

Perhaps a May Pole as it has plenty of tape on it.

Its OK, he ain't heavy...

Topical and funny, need to take more water with it pc.
