Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an assembled conductor includes: arranging a plurality of peripheral wires having anisotropic cross-sectional shapes around a central wire; bundling the central wire and the peripheral wires that have been arranged, to form a conducting wire bundle; and rolling the conducting wire bundle to form the assembled conductor. The arranging includes a bending process for bending the plurality of peripheral wires in directions along imaginary lines that extend radially relative to an axis of the central wire on an imaginary plane intersecting the axis of the central wire.
