Not that I know of. When insulation is applied to wire it is extruded so that the insulating material is uniform around the conductor. Without this uniformity the conductors insulation factor would vary and the wire would have to be rated at the lowest reading factor when tested with a high voltage.
Even when splicing a wire, the electrical code states that the insulation covering the splice has to be brought up to or surpass the insulation factor that is supplied by the manufacturer of the wire.

What are the elements of copper wire?
Electrical wire can consist of several different elements from Aluminum to copper and even steel. Many types of wire have been made from silver and also gold, depending on the application, and it's no uncommon to plate the wire with another metal to avoid corrosion or rust.
What is the inside of a wire made from?
The wire is composed of the same element throughout the cross sectional area of the wire.
What are copper granules?
Copper granules are very small and rice shape copper made by copper granulators. They are usually made from copper scrap for the purpose of recycling.
What compound is made from the elements oxygen copper and nitrogen?
Copper nitrate is a compound. It is made from oxygen, copper and nitrogen.
What is copper rod?
it is a rod made of copper
Why does die cast copper parts fetch a higher scrap price than bare wire?
castings made from copper alloy are a higher grade of copper than the copper in wire. Also, the insulation on the copper wire needs to be removed,
What is electric cables made from?
Usually copper with plastic insulation.
What are telephone made of?
Mainly all telephone wires are made of copper with a plastic coating for insulation. Older form of telephone wire had a paper or pulp insulation over the copper wire. They are also a twisted pair cable.

How good is spray foam insulation to use on walls?
The best kind of insulation for a wall will depend on if it is an outside or inside wall and what room it will be for. The roll or blanket insulation made of fiberglass will be good enough for most do it yourself jobs.
Is garage door insulation safe for human consumption?
This would depend on the type used. In newer homes, soy or bio-based spray insulation is being used that is non-toxic and earth friendly. But that is nowhere near the norm. Most spray foam insulation is made from toxic chemicals and can be very harmful if ingested.
Is the insulation of a copper coil lost or affected when the coil is boiled in water?
No. I believe the insulation is made of a ceramic material. A permanent magnet will lose it's effectiveness if exposed to heat.
Where is copper wire used?
Copper is the usual conductor used to carry electricity. Aluminium (aluminum) is sometimes used. Silver is a good conductor but is too expensive for general use. Many materials are conductive to some extent.
What are computer wires made up of?
Most are currently made of copper. In the past, some were made of silver and even gold. Silver is a better conductor than copper, and gold is a better conductor than silver. As you can imagine, both are rather cost prohibitive.
Is it safe to use copper to repair electrical fuse?
yes very safe.add. Fuse wire is usually made of tin-plated copper. The fuse wire may well get warm in service, and a bare copper wire will gradually oxidize and will fail sooner as a consequence.
