Abstract

A power supply cable includes: a first communication cord that includes a first signal line and a cover that accommodates the first signal line; a plurality of power lines each including a cooling tube, a conductor that surrounds the cooling tube, and an insulator that surrounds the conductor; and a sheath that accommodates the first communication cord and the plurality of power lines. In a cross-sectional view, the plurality of power lines surround the first communication cord.

Claims (39)

1. A power supply cable comprising:

a first communication cord comprising a first signal line and a cover that accommodates the first signal line;

a plurality of power lines each comprising a cooling tube, a conductor that surrounds the cooling tube, and an insulator that surrounds the conductor; and

a sheath that accommodates the first communication cord and the plurality of power lines, wherein

in a cross-sectional view, the plurality of power lines surround the first communication cord,

the first communication cord comprises a plurality of the first signal lines, and

the plurality of first signal lines are integrally wound with a tape and accommodated in the cover.

2. A power supply cable comprising:

a first communication cord comprising a first signal line and a cover that accommodates the first signal line;

a plurality of power lines each comprising a cooling tube, a conductor that surrounds the cooling tube, and an insulator that surrounds the conductor;

a sheath that accommodates the first communication cord and the plurality of power lines; and

one or more second communication cords, each comprising a second signal line, wherein

the plurality of power lines and at least one of the second communication cords surround the first communication cord in the cross-sectional view.

3. The power supply cable according to claim 2 , wherein

the power supply cable has exactly two second communication cords,

the power supply cable has exactly four power lines, and

the first communication cord, the two second communication cords, and the four power lines have substantially the same outer diameter.

4. A power supply cable comprising:

a first communication cord comprising a first signal line and a cover that accommodates the first signal line;
