    I am wondering if your translator program is having difficulties. Try asking the same question in a different way. Mike.

    For wire and copper sheet, I'm not going to name where the insulation is used and I may miss a few types of insulation used because the list is too numerous

    Air, cotton, mica, paper, enamels, shellac, wood, glass, porcelain, one of the many plastics like PVC are commonly used, tape and shrink tube, tar, mineral oil and PBC's, vacuum, noble gas's
