wire stripping
Exposing conductor beneath
Wire stripping is the removal of insulation from electrical wire to expose the conductive metal beneath, typically done before making connections: The electrician did some wire stripping before splicing the cables.
A wire stripper is the specialized tool for this task.
Unrelated: wire stripping also refers to stealing copper wire from buildings or infrastructure for scrap value—a form of theft that surged with rising copper prices.
