Skin and proximity effect coefficient b for PAC/GIL conductor

The equation for $z_c$ < 5 is identical in Cigré Guide 2018 (2003), Elektra 100 (1985), and Elektra 125 (1989).

The equation for $z_c$ > 30 in Cigré Guide 2018 (2003) is missing a factor 2 in the square-root and the equation in Elektra 125 (1989) has the factor 5 falsely inside the square-root.

Coefficients of the polynomial interpolation are taken from Table II of Elektra 125 (1989) whereas the first value used in CIGRE Guide 218 (2003) is wrong.
