Abstract
A wire harness includes a group of first electric wires connected to a first circuit and a group of second electric wires connected to a second circuit whose consumption current is smaller than that of the first circuit. The group of first electric wires include aluminum electric wires. The group of second electric wires include a large diameter electric wire having a conductor formed of aluminum or aluminum alloy, a small diameter electric wire having a conductor formed of copper or copper alloy and a cross-sectional area of the conductor thereof smaller than that of the large diameter electric wire, and an extra fine electric wire having a conductor formed of the copper or copper alloy and a cross-sectional area of the conductor thereof smaller than that of the small diameter electric wire.
Claims4
A wire harness comprising:
- a group of first electric wires connected to a first circuit;
- and
- a group of second electric wires connected to a second circuit whose consumption current is smaller than that of the first circuit, wherein:
- the group of first electric wires include copper electric wires and aluminum electric wires, and
- the group of second electric wires include a large diameter electric wire having a conductor formed of aluminum or aluminum alloy, a small diameter electric wire having a conductor formed of copper or copper alloy and a cross-sectional area of the conductor thereof smaller than that of the large diameter electric wire, and an extra fine electric wire having a conductor formed of copper or the copper alloy and a cross-sectional area of the conductor thereof smaller than that of the small diameter electric wire,
- wherein, in the group of the second electric wires:
- the large diameter electric wire has a conductor formed of aluminum or aluminum alloy and a cross-sectional area of the conductor thereof is larger than 0.3 mm2,
- the small diameter electric wire has a conductor formed of copper or copper alloy and a cross-sectional area of the conductor thereof is 0.3 mm2, and
- the extra fine electric wire has a conductor formed of the copper or copper alloy and a cross-sectional area of the conductor thereof is smaller than 0.3 mm2.
