A conductor (1, 10) for conducting
electric current has along its length (L) at least two main sections (2, 2', 3, 3', 18, 19, 20) comprising at least a first main section (2, 2', 18) and a second main section (3, 3', 19) and at least one transposing junction (4, 4', 21) connecting adjacent ones of the main sections (2, 2', 3, 3', 18, 19). The conductor (1, 10) comprises several partial conductors (7, 8, 15, 16, 17) comprising at least a first partial conductor (7, 15) and a second partial conductor (8, 16), wherein in the first main section (2, 2', 18), the first partial conductor (7, 15) has an outer
diameter(d1, d2, d3) which is larger than an outer
diameter (d1, d2, d3) of the second partial conductor (8, 16) and, in the second main section (3, 3', 19), the second partial conductor (8, 16) has an outer
diameter (d1, d2, d3) which is larger than an outer diameter (d1, d2, d3) of the first partial conductor (7, 15).
