A non-fluid cooled fast-charge electric vehicle (EV) cable includes a pair of cabled insulated conductors, a binder, a thermal layer of a synthetic porous material having extremely low density and extremely low thermal conductivity in a blanket, with a fiberglass cover and a jacket.

A multi-core cable includes a heat detection line including a twisted pair wire composed of a pair of heat detecting wires being twisted together, each of which includes a first conductor and a first insulator covering a periphery of the first conductor, a plurality of electric wires spirally twisted around the heat detection line, each of which includes a second conductor and a second insulator covering a periphery of the second conductor, and a sheath covering the heat detection line and the plurality of electric wires together. A melting point of the first insulator is lower than a melting point of the second insulator. The second conductor has a shape in a cross-section perpendicular to a cable longitudinal direction in which a width along a circumferential direction is gradually increased from a radially inward portion to a radially outward portion.

A fire-resistive cable system comprises an electrical cable housed in a fiberglass-reinforced thermosetting resin conduit. The electrical cable comprises a conductor and has only one couple of mica tapes surrounding the conductor. The couple of mica tapes are formed of a first mica tape and a second mica tape wound around the first mica tape. The mica layer of the first mica tape faces and contacts the mica layer of the second mica tape. The fiberglass-reinforced thermosetting resin conduit is made of a material comprising fibers of a glass selected from E-glass and E-CR-glass, and a resin.

A power cable has a cable core comprising at least one conductor with an insulating system and a water barrier surrounding the cable core. The water barrier comprises a helically wound strength bearing layer interconnected by a low melting point material.

A shielded electric wire includes an electric wire including a conductor portion and a cover portion covering the conductor portion, a shielded braid formed of a conductive linear material, the shielded braid covering an outer periphery of the cover portion and a sheath formed of an insulating resin, the sheath being provided around the shielded braid. The electric wire and the shielded braid together form an electric wire assembly. A flexible value of the sheath is equal to or smaller than a flexible value of the electric wire assembly, the flexible value being a value of a load required for bending an object for a predetermined extent.

A melting point of the first insulator is lower than a melting point of the second insulator. The second conductor has a shape in a cross-section perpendicular to a cable longitudinal direction in which a width along a circumferential direction is gradually increased from a radially inward portion to a radially outward portion.

An assembled wire has a substantially rectangular cross section, and is formed by assembling a plurality of strands. Each strand has a conductor portion and a strand insulating layer covering the conductor portion. At least a part of the assembled plurality of strands in the longitudinal direction is covered with an outer insulating layer. The strand is formed as follows. First, the strand insulating layer is coated on the outer periphery of the conductor portion. A large number of voids are formed in a resin constituting the strand insulating layer. From this state, the strand is formed, for example, by collapsing the strand insulating layer by heating and pressurizing. At this time, it is possible to uniformly collapse the strand insulating layer by crushing the internal voids. Therefore, the voids in the strand are crushed and flattened in the thickness direction of the strand insulating layer over the entire periphery.

An electric wire conductor capable of achieving both flexibility and a space-saving property, a covered electric wire and a wiring harness including such an electric wire conductor. The electric wire conductor contains a wire strand containing a plurality of elemental wires twisted together, and has a flat portion where a cross-section intersecting an axial direction of the wire strand has a flat shape. A covered electric wire contains the electric wire conductors and an insulator covering the electric wire conductors. A wiring harness contains such covered electric wires.
