Multicore cable and disconnection detection device

Abstract

A multicore cable includes a plurality of coated electric wires; a detection wire; and a sheath. The coated electric wires include an electric wire conductor and an electric wire coating. The electric wire conductor is a stranded wire of a plurality of electric wire filaments. The electric wire coating covers an outer surface of the electric wire conductor. The detection wire includes a detection wire conductor that is a stranded wire of a plurality of detection wire filaments. The sheath covers an outer surface of a core that includes the coated electric wires and the detection wire. The detection wire is disposed in a region enclosed by the coated electric wires. A filament diameter of the detection wire filaments is equal to or greater than a filament diameter of the electric wire filaments.
