Masking tape isn't designed to be either insulating or watertight, so it's a really bad choice to use to tape electrical wiring together. What masking tape is designed for is paint masking then easy removal after the paint dries without leaving any residue.
If you just temporarily want to tape the wires to a wall or something, it's fine, but using it on exposed wiring is a bad idea, and masking tape isn't designed for longtime service anyway. Masking tape is considered disposable, electrical tape is considered permanent.

Electrical tape has an inherent insulation property. It comes in many thickness and temperature ratings. There are two main types in use in the electrical trade. The PVC tape is the everyday tape used for general insulating purposes. The second type is a rubber amalgamating tape. This type is used on large motor splices. Once the rubber tape is applied, it amalgamates into one mass of rubber to provide the proper insulation value. After the rubber tape is applied an over wrap of PVC tape is applied to provide wear protection to the splice.

Painters tape
Masking tape is 'du ruban de masquage, de l'adhésif de masquage' in French.

You don't want to use masking tape. After a short time it will be hard to remove. When your new paint is good and dry, you should use the blue painter's tape. It should come off with out pulling off the paint, but I would try a small test on one spot frist.
Masking tape is an insulator because it is designed to be non-conductive and is commonly used to protect surfaces from electrical conductivity.

Insulation tape is used to protect exposed electrical conductors or wires. Another term for it would be electrical tape. It is wrapped around wires and other electrical conductors to protect them.

Electrical wire is the type of wire that is used in electrical equipment. To strip the wires, you need to use wire strippers. There is also special tape called electrical tape that is used to secure the wire.
A painter's tape is a variety of masking tape which has the specific purpose of protecting areas from paint with a weaker adhesive than regular masking tape.
Electrical tape is used to insulate electrical wires and other materials that conduct electricity. It helps prevent short circuits and electrical shocks by providing a barrier between exposed wires and other conductive materials. Additionally, it can be used for wire harnessing, color coding, and marking.
Masking tape is readily available at hardware stores or big box stores such as Home Depot. Walmart also sells masking tape. Masking tape is used during the painting process and also used in some hobbies.
Richard Drew invented masking tape in 1925
sodler it and then wrap it in electeic tape
Yes, GooGone will remove masking tape. Just make sure it is safe for the surface the tape is actually on.
