The above AC Resistances (based on conductivities of 61% and 9% IACS at 20°C for aluminum and steel, respectively) allow for the skin effect in the
conductor. In the case of three-aluminum-layer-conductors, they must be increased by 1.1%, 2.7%, 3.7% and 4.3% for current densities of 200, 600, 1,000 and
1,400 amperes per 1,000 kcmil of aluminum to allow for the magnetic losses in the steel core.
