Abstract
A conductor for power transportation comprises an elongated core constructed from a core material and an elongated conductive casing constructed from a conductive material. The elongated conductive casing is positioned around the elongated core and constructed from various layers of wires. Each layer of wires consists of a set of wires which are positioned next to each other, and at least a fraction of these wires being shaped in such a way that for the cross section of the wire. A circumscribed circle is filled only with between 50% and 90% of wire material. The cross section of the wire has a central portion filled with wire and a plurality of protrusions. The shape of these wires is such that the space taken up by these wires in the stack of wires in the layers is substantially cylindrical.

A conductor for power transportation, the conductor comprising:
- an elongated core constructed from a core material and
- an elongated conductive casing constructed from a conductive material,
- wherein the elongated conductive casing is positioned around the elongated core and is constructed from various layers of wires, each layer of wires consisting of a set of wires which are positioned side by side, and
- wherein at least a fraction of these wires are shaped in such a way that in the cross section of the wire there is a circumscribed circle only between 50% and 90% full of wire material and that the cross section of the wire has a central portion filled with wire and has a plurality of projections, and
- wherein the shape of these wires is such that the space taken up by these wires in the stack of wires in the layers is substantially cylindrical.
