A method of manufacturing an assembled conductor includes: arranging a plurality of peripheral wires having anisotropic cross-sectional shapes around a central wire; bundling the central wire and the peripheral wires that have been arranged, to form a conducting wire bundle; and rolling the conducting wire bundle to form the assembled conductor. The arranging includes a bending process for bending the plurality of peripheral wires in directions along imaginary lines that extend radially relative to an axis of the central wire on an imaginary plane intersecting the axis of the central wire.

An insulated electric wire is formed by spirally winding an insulating tape laminating an insulating layer and an adhesive layer onto a conductor such that the adhesive layer is disposed onto the conductor, in which when a conductor diameter is x mm, the insulating tape has an overlap length y of y1.5099ln(x)0.4959 mm, a width z of z0.3774x+24.547 mm, and an adhesive force c of c3.2 N/19 mm with respect to a back surface of the insulating tape which is opposite to the adhesive layer.
