The invention relates to ACSR conductors having two or more layers of conductor strands wound helically around a steel core, the layers being wound alternately in right-handed and left-handed helices. The AC/DC resistance ratio of such a conductor can be greatly reduced by appropriate selection of the lay factors of the strand layers in relation to the cross sectional areas of the respective layers. The unbalanced mechanical torque can also be greatly reduced by appropriate selection of the lay factors of the strand layers in relation to the means diameters of the layers and the outside diameter of the conductor. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
An ACSR conductor having three or more layers of aluminum conductor strands helically wound around a steel core, the layers being wound alternately in right-handed and left-handed helices, wherein the lay lengths and conductor cross sectional areas of the layers are such that ##EQU24## where A.
sub.
i is the conductor cross sectional area in square millimeters, and l.
sub.
i is the lay length in millimeters, of a respective layer i, l.
sub.
i being positive for a right-handed helically wound layer and negative for a left-handed helically wound layer, and n being the number of layers.
2.
An ACSR conductor according to claim 1, wherein the radial thicknesses of any two adjacent layers differ by more than 10%.
3.
An ACSR conductor according to claim 1, wherein the conductor cross sectional areas of the layers, the lay angles of the layers, and the mean diameters of the layers are such that the magnitude of unbalanced torque, measured in millimeters cubed, is less than or equal to the cube of the conductor diameter, measured in millimeters.
4.
An ACSR conductor according to claim 3, wherein the radial thicknesses of any two adjacent layers differ by more than 10%.
5.
An ACSR conductor according to claim 1, having three conductor layers, wherein the strands of the innermost and outermost layers are of round cross section and the strands of the intermediate layer are of trapezoidal cross section.
6.
An ACSR conductor having three layers of aluminum conductor strands helically wound around a steel core, the innermost and intermediate layers being helically wound in the same direction and the outermost layer being helically wound in the opposite direction, wherein the lag lengths and conductor cross sectional areas of the layers are such that ##EQU25## where Ai is the conductor cross sectional area in square millimeters, and li is the lay length in millimeters, of a respective layer i, li being positive for a right handed helically wound layer and negative for a left handed helically wound layer, and n being the number of layers
