A pregrouted PC steel material () includes a 19-wire-twisted PC strand (), a pregrouted layer () disposed on an outer periphery of the PC strand (), and a sheath () configured to cover an outer periphery of the pregrouted layer (). A filling resin () is filled between steel wires (side wires) (). Since the filling resin () does not exude to the pregrouted layer () before tensioning of the PC strand (), an operation of tensioning the PC strand () is not hindered by curing of the pregrouted layer (). In contrast, since the gap between the steel wires is reduced when the PC strand () is tensioned, the filling resin () flows out (exudes) from between the steel wires to the pregrouted layer () to cure the pregrouted layer () only after the reduction.

An insulating varnish forms an insulating coating film having a shape that corresponds to the shape of an opening of a die, having a uniform thickness. The insulating varnish is applied onto a surface of a conductor, subsequently passes through a die to remove the excess applied insulating varnish, and is then dried or baked to form an insulating coating film on the surface of the conductor. The insulating varnish has a viscosity of 10 Pa&#xb7;s or more measured by a B-type viscometer at 30&#xb0; C. The insulating varnish preferably contains no filler, and is preferably a polyimide precursor solution. Since the insulating varnish has a high viscosity, baking and solidification can be performed while maintaining a shape formed when the insulating varnish passes through a die.
