Power-supply cable and apparatus for manufacturing electric wire used for said power-supply cable

Abstract

It is an objective of the invention to provide a high-power supply cable characterized in that even when mounted in a narrow space where the cable undergoes a repetitive bending motion, any undesirable deformation out of the bending plane is small. There is provided a power-supply cable including: an electric wire including an electrical conductor and a resin sheath covering the electrical conductor, the electric wire having a tendency to generate a curl under a no-load condition, the curl having a curling direction, the curling direction being a normal to the curl, the electric wire having one or more longitudinal ends; a connecting terminal disposed at one of the longitudinal ends of the electric wire; and a curling tendency direction indicator showing the curling direction, the indicator being disposed along a normal line to the curl of the electric wire.
