Abstract
A cable comprising that includes an elongated conductor operable to transmit electrical energy at medium or high AC voltages. The conductor has a core including a first plurality of wires of a first conductive material, and an outer layer surrounding the core including a second plurality of wires of a second conductive material. The first conductive material has a deeper characteristic skin depth than the second conductive material. The total cross sectional area of the first and second plurality of wires is at least about 2500 kcmil.
