An insulated electric wire contains: an exposed portion insulation covering is removed; a covered portion with the insulation covering; and a water-stopping portion agent is placed over the exposed portion and an area of the covered portion that is adjacent to the exposed portion. The water-stopping portion contains: a filled area between the elemental wires between a conductor in the exposed portion filled with the water-stopping agent; an exposed portion outer circumferential area in which the water-stopping agent covers the outer circumference of the conductor in the exposed portion; and a covered portion outer circumferential area in which the water-stopping agent covers an outer circumference of the insulation covering in the area of the covered portion that is adjacent to the exposed portion. The layer thickness of the water-stopping agent is larger in the exposed portion outer circumferential area than in the covered portion outer circumferential area.

A power cable has an insulated conductor; a copper water barrier, in form of a tube with a welding line, surrounding each insulated conductor; and a polymeric sheath surrounding each copper water barrier. The copper water barrier has a thickness and the polymeric sheath has a thickness such that a ratio between the thickness of the copper water barrier and the thickness of the polymeric sheath is 0.15 at most.

A water stop structure for a shield cable includes a lead-in port formed in a sheet metal of a housing, a grommet to be liquid-tightly fitted into the lead-in port, a shield shell disposed outside the housing so as to surround the grommet and with an end portion of a braid of the shield cable being crimped, and a spacer configured to adjust an attachment height of the shield shell with respect to the sheet metal so as to fasten the shield shell to the sheet metal in a state where conduction is ensured.

A roofing system with interlocking structural panels that have an outer, exterior side surface adapted to be exposed to weather, and an inner side that faces the interior of a structure when installed. The roofing system generally can include a first plurality of structural panels and a second plurality of structural panels, with at least one of the pluralities of structural panels including roofing panels, and the other plurality of structural panels including photovoltaic modules or solar panels that can be mounted in series with the roofing panels to form the roof structure. The structural panels of the roofing system are configured to act as structural components for construction of a roof structure, and are further adapted and/or constructed to be easily handled and installed by individual installers.

Provided is a high-voltage power cable. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a high-voltage power cable that exhibits excellent dielectric strength, such as dielectric breakdown voltage and impulse breakdown strength, and that is capable of implementing and maintaining dielectric characteristics even when a temperature of a cable insulator rises due to the transmission of power or when negative impulse or polarity reversal occurs.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a wire with a terminal, the wire with a terminal including a wire, a metal terminal, and a sealing member obtained by curing an anti-corrosive material, the method using a manufacturing apparatus for the wire with a terminal including a transparent mold including a cavity portion, and a protruding portion that protrudes into the cavity portion, the method including an introducing step of placing, in the cavity portion, a non-sealed wire with a terminal before including the sealing member including the wire and the metal terminal, and introducing the anti-corrosive material into the cavity portion; and an irradiating step of irradiating the anti-corrosive material in the cavity portion with ultraviolet light through the transparent mold.

An insulated electric wire includes a conductor in which elemental wires made of a metal material are twisted together; and an insulation covering that covers an outer circumference of the conductor. The insulated electric wire includes: an exposed portion in which the insulation covering is removed from the outer circumference of the conductor; a covered portion in which the insulation covering covers the outer circumference of the conductor, the exposed portion and the covered portion being provided adjacent to each other in a longitudinal axis direction; and a water-stopping portion in which gaps between the elemental wires in the exposed portion are filled with a water-stopping agent. In an area enclosed by the surface of the water-stopping agent, the surface of the elemental wires is in contact with only the water-stopping agent or another elemental wire.

An electric wire conductor includes a wire strand having a plurality of elemental wires twisted together. The wire strand includes a deformed part in which a cross-section of the wire strand intersecting an axial direction of the wire strand is formed into a flat shape in which a width of the cross section is larger than a height of the cross section, and an entire outer periphery of the cross section is formed as an outward curve. In the cross-section of the deformed part, the elemental wires have deformation ratios from a circle of 70% or lower at an outer peripheral part facing the outer periphery of the deformed part than at a center part located inside the outer peripheral part.

A waterproofing structure for shielded cable includes: a shielded cable including one or more cables and a braided wire serving as a shielding member and covering the cables; and a grommet serving as a waterproofing member covering a waterproofed portion of the braided wire. Thermoplastic resins serving as waterproofing fillers are respectively disposed on an inner side and an outer side of the waterproofed portion of the braided wire. The gaps between the plurality of strands of the braided wire and the gap between the braided wire and the small-diameter cylindrical portion of the grommet are filled with the thermoplastic resin melted by heating.
