Claim Text:
1. A cable comprising: a plurality of elongated wedge cross-sectional shaped conductors operable to transmit electrical energy at medium or high AC voltages and each of the elongated conductors having a narrow end and an opposite wide end, a first side and an opposite second side extending from the narrow end to the wide end, the plurality of elongated conductors being disposed about a center of the cable so the first side and the second side of each of the plurality of elongated conductors are adjacent other ones of the plurality of elongated conductors, each of the elongated conductors having 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 having a deeper characteristic skin depth than the second conductive material, the second plurality of wires of the second conductive material being positioned along the narrow and wide ends and along the first and second sides of the conductor to surround the first plurality of wires of the first conductive material; and, wherein the total cross sectional area of the first and second plurality of wires in each of the plurality of conductors is at least about 2500 kcmil.
