Abstract

A composite stranded wire conductor includes a core bunched strand wire, first bunched strand wires mainly wound at a first main twist pitch around the core bunched strand wire, and second bunched strand wires wound at a second main twist pitch around first bunched strand wires. In the core bunched strand wire, metal wires are primary twisted in a first direction. In each of the first bunched strand wires, metal wires are primary twisted in a second direction opposite to the first direction. In each of the second bunched strand wires, metal wires are primary twisted in the first direction. A pitch ratio obtained by dividing the second main twist pitch by the first main twist pitch is 1.00 or more and 2.44 or less.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A composite stranded wire conductor comprising:
a core bunched strand wire in which a plurality of conductive metal wires are primarily twisted; a first layer composite stranded wire including a plurality of first bunched strand wires, wherein a plurality of conductive metal wires are primarily twisted in each of the plurality of first bunched strand wires, and wherein the plurality of first bunched strand wires are mainly twisted around the core bunched strand wire; and a second layer composite stranded wire including a plurality of second bunched strand wires, wherein a plurality of conductive metal wires are primarily twisted in each of the plurality of second bunched strand wires, and wherein the plurality of second bunched strand wires are mainly twisted around the first layer composite stranded wire, wherein the plurality of conductive metal wires are primarily twisted in a first direction in the core bunched strand, wherein the plurality of conductive metal wires are primarily twisted in a second direction opposite to the first direction in each of the plurality of first bunched strand wires, wherein the plurality of first bunched strand wires are mainly twisted in the second direction at a first main twist pitch in the first layer composite stranded wire, wherein the plurality of conductive metal wires are primarily twisted in the first direction in each of the plurality of second bunched strand wires, wherein the plurality of second bunched strand wires are mainly twisted in the first direction at a second main twist pitch in the second layer composite stranded wire, wherein a primary twist pitch of the core bunched strand wire, a primary twist pitch of the each of the first bunched strand wires, and a primary twist pitch of the each of the second bunched strand wires are substantially the same with each other, and wherein a pitch ratio obtained by dividing the second main twist pitch by the first main twist pitch is 1.00 or more and 2.44 or less.

2 . The composite stranded wire conductor according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the conductive metal wires forming the core bunched strand wire, the first bunched strand wires, and the second bunched strand wires is 0.08 mm or less.

3 . A bending resistant electric wire comprising:
the composite stranded wire conductor according to claim 1 ; and an insulator provided on the composite stranded wire conductor, wherein an elastic modulus of the insulator is 18 MPa or less.
