Abstract: An insulated electric wire includes a conductor that has a linear shape and an insulating film that is formed to cover the periphery of the conductor. The insulating film is formed of a polyimide that has a molecular structure including a PMDA-ODA-type repeating unit A and a BPDA-ODA-type repeating unit B, the mole ratio [B/(A+B)]×100 (% by mole) of the number of moles of the repeating unit B to the total number of moles of the repeating unit A and the repeating unit B being more than 55% by mole. A first sample of the insulating film with a separation elongation of 7% has a ratio M60/M10 of 1.2 or more, or a second sample of the insulating film with a separation elongation of 40% has a ratio M30/M10 of 1.2 or more.
