Abstract

A braid for a wire harness includes a plurality of element wire bundles, each of which is formed of a plurality of element wires, and the plurality of element wire bundles being braided into a tubular shape. Each of the plurality of element wire bundles includes a metal element wire that has electrical conductivity, a plurality of resin element wires that have abrasion resistance and that are disposed to surround the metal element wire, and a drain metal element wire that has electrical conductivity and that is disposed with the resin element wires and contacts with the metal element wire. The drain metal element wires in the plurality of element wire bundles contact to each other.

Claims (10)

1. A braid for a wire harness comprising:

a plurality of element wire bundles, each of which is formed of a plurality of element wires, and the plurality of element wire bundles being braided into a tubular shape,

wherein each of the plurality of element wire bundles includes a metal element wire that has electrical conductivity and serves as a core wire of each of the element wire bundles, a plurality of resin element wires that have abrasion resistance and that are disposed to surround the metal element wire, and a drain metal element wire that has electrical conductivity and that is disposed with the resin element wires and contacts with the metal element wire; and

wherein the drain metal element wires in the plurality of element wire bundles contact to each other.

2. The braid according to claim 1 , wherein each of the metal element wire, the resin element wires and the drain metal element wire is formed of a single thread or a plurality of twisted threads.

3. The braid according to claim 1 , wherein the resin element wires and the drain metal element wire are twisted with the metal element wire which serves as the core wire of each of the element wire bundles.

4. The braid according to claim 1 , wherein the resin element wires are colored with a recognition color of a high voltage system.

5. A wire harness comprising:

the braid according to claim 1 ; and

one or a plurality of high voltage electrical conductive paths covered by the braid.
