Abstract
An insulated electric wire includes a conductor of a plurality of twisted elemental wires made of a conductive material, and an insulation covering. The wire includes an exposed portion in which the insulation covering is removed, and a covered portion in which the insulation covering covers the conductor. The exposed portion and the covered portion are adjacent with each other along a longitudinal axis of the wire. The covered portion includes an adjacent area located adjacent to the exposed portion, and a remote area located adjacent to the adjacent area and apart from the exposed portion. A density of the conductive material per unit length is higher in the exposed portion than in the remote area. The elemental wires are twisted in both the exposed portion and the remote area. Gaps between the elemental wires of the exposed portion are filled with a sealant.
