Abstract

A high-voltage conduction path includes one conductor of a positive electrode conductor and a negative electrode conductor, a first insulator on the outside of the one conductor, the other conductor of the positive electrode conductor and the negative electrode conductor, the other conductor on the outside of the first insulator, and a second insulator on the outside of the other conductor. The other conductor is made of a metal wire material and formed into a cylindrical shape by spirally winding the metal wire material, and portions of the metal wire material positioned to be adjacent to each other contact with each other at side end faces opposed to each other.

Claims (18)

1. A high-voltage conduction path comprising:

one conductor of a positive electrode conductor and a negative electrode conductor;

a first insulator that is provided on the outside of the one conductor;

the other conductor of the positive electrode conductor and the negative electrode conductor, the other conductor being provided on the outside of the first insulator; and

a second insulator that is provided on the outside of the other conductor,

wherein the other conductor is made of a metal wire material and formed into a cylindrical shape by spirally winding the metal wire material, and portions of the metal wire material positioned to be adjacent to each other contact with each other at side end faces opposed to each other, the cylindrical shape being hollow and configured to receive the one conductor and the first insulator,

the metal wire material includes a first metal wire material and a second metal wire material having a cross-section shape different from a cross-section shape of the first metal wire material, and

the other conductor is formed by spirally winding the first metal wire material and the second metal wire material and portions of the first metal wire material and the second metal wire material positioned to be alternately adjacent to each other contact at side end faces opposed to each other.

2. The high-voltage conduction path according to claim 1 , further comprising an end terminal connected to a terminal of the other conductor,

wherein the end terminal includes an inner end terminal that is positioned inside of the terminal and comes into contact with an inner surface of the metal wire material, an outer end terminal that is positioned outside of the terminal and comes into contact with an outer surface of the metal wire material and an electrical contact portion for external connection provided continuously to one end terminal of the inner end terminal and the outer end terminal.

3. The high-voltage conduction path according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an electromagnetic shielding member that is provided on the outside of the second insulator; and

a sheath that is provided on the outside of the electromagnetic shielding member.

4. A wiring harness comprising the high-voltage conduction path according to claim 1 .

5. The high-voltage conduction path according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an electromagnetic shielding member that is provided on the outside of the second insulator, the electromagnetic shielding member comprising a metal foil.

6. The high-voltage conduction path according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a sheath that is provided on the outside of the electromagnetic shielding member, the sheath comprising a first layer and a second layer, the second layer formed outside of the first layer, wherein the second layer comprises polypropylene.
