Abstract
Abstract A multi-core power cable (1) in which the conductors comprise a central conductor (2) and two or more tubular conductors (4, 6) coaxial with the central conductor (2), at least the tubular conductors forming the cores. The conductors (2, 4, 6) are isolated from one another by insulating layers (3, 5, 7). A sheath (8) and armoring (9, 10) may also be provided.
