Do Tiger Tails insulate the power lines?

Tiger Tails are used in electrical applications primarily as a visual warning and protection mechanism to identify overhead power lines. They do not provide insulation for the power lines themselves. Instead, their purpose is to alert aerial workers and reduce the risk of accidental contact with high-voltage conductors. Since Tiger Tails are made from materials that do not possess insulating properties, they cannot prevent electrical current from passing through if contact is made. Understanding this function emphasizes the importance of visual indicators in promoting safety around power lines rather than enhancing their insulation.
