Electric wire
An electric wire includes a core wire made of a conductive metal, and an insulating covering that covers an outer circumference of the core wire. A part of at least one of the core wire and the insulating covering is formed with a flat part flatter than a rest of the at least one of the core wire and the insulating covering.
1. An electric wire comprising:
a core wire made of a conductive metal and including a plurality of strands; and
an insulating covering that covers an outer circumference of the core wire,
wherein a part of at least the core wire is formed with a flat part that is flatter than a rest of the core wire, wherein a part of each of the plurality of strands in the flat part of the core wire is flattened such that each of the plurality of strands in the flattened part of the plurality of strands has a same cross-sectional area as the respective plurality of strands in the rest of the core wire.
2. The electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the flattened part of the plurality of strands is not compressively deformed with respect to the plurality of strands in the rest of the core wire.
3. The electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating covering is formed on the flat part of the core wire.
4. The electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating covering is also formed with a flat part, and the flat part of insulating covering covers the flat part of the core wire.
