Abstract
A wire conductor has a plurality of elemental wires made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, which are stranded with each other and arranged, in cross-section intersecting an axial direction of the wire conductor, in which one or a plurality of virtual elemental wires are removed from an outer peripheral portion of a virtual cross-section represented by a maximum number of virtual elemental wires accommodated in a circumscribing figure approximated by a regular hexagon, the virtual elemental wires having a same diameter as the elemental wires. The wire conductor includes a plurality of slave strands, each being a strand of the plurality of elemental wires, a maximum diameter cross-sectional area ratio is 0.63 or higher that is calculated by dividing a cross-sectional area of the wire conductor by an area of a circle having a diameter equal to a maximum value of an outer diameter of the wire conductor.
