Doesn't that mean one wrap can insulate a 1.15 volt line from ground-potential, and three wraps can insulate a 3.45 volt line? (I am, of course, referring to a DC system)

Interesting. Vinyl generally has a dielectric strength around 1000 volts/mil, varying with details of the chemistry of the vinyl. I suspect that spec should be 1,150 volts/mil, so 7 mil Scotch 33 has a dielectric strength of 8050 volts under ideal conditions. Conditions in use are far from ideal so they rate it for 600V.
Scotch needs to use a proofreader instead of a spell checker.
