This is the loss factor for sheath caused by eddy currents.

For single-core cables with sheaths bonded at both ends (solid bonding) of an electrical section, the loss due to eddy currents can be neglected, except for Milliken conductors. For cables with Milliken conductors, the loss factor should be increased to take account of the loss due to eddy currents in the sheaths.

The eddy-current losses for wire screen and an equalizing tape, or foil screen over the wires are considered negligible (for the screen).
