    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a terminal-equipped electric wire includes a step of crimping a terminal to one end of an electric wire, a step of crimping another terminal to the other end of the electric wire, and a waterproofing step of providing a sealing member at the other end of the electric wire so as to fill gaps between conductive element wires of an element wire bundle. The waterproofing step includes, in this order, a step of applying a resin to the element wire bundle to block at least a part of an inner portion of a tubular insulating sheath, a step of waiting during curing of the resin or until the curing is completed, and a step of applying the moisture curable resin to the element wire bundle, blocking a remaining portion of the inner portion of the insulating sheath, and curing the resin.

    Abstract: An electrical cable for use as a substitute for mineral-insulated cables in nuclear facilities is described herein. The cable may include at least one conductor, insulation, a jacket, and an armor shell. In some embodiments, the conductor may comprise a stranded conductor of one of various grades. The insulation may comprise phlogopite or muscovite mica tape that may be helically or longitudinally applied in overlapping concentric layers around at least one conductor. The jacket may comprise a woven glass braid applied over insulation surrounding one or multiple conductors. The armor may comprise hermitically sealed metallic armor applied around the other components of the cable, thereby forming an exterior of the cable. The inorganic materials utilized may be configured to limit the creation of adverse and/or undesirable elements instigated by transmutation from neutron irradiation exposure.
