- Hi everybody, Assuming the same gauge, is a stranded conductor better than a solid conductor [less skin effect loss because of multiple conductor surfaces] at rf? How about at 60hz? Also can someone

- Steve, The advantage of regular stranded wire is flexability. Litz wire is a special type of stranded wire that is used to reduce skin effect. At 60Hz the skin effect is not an issue. Joe D at I've a

- The longwave guys certainly love it - the key point is that the strands are insulated from each other. A lot of stranded wire is multiple cores of tinned copper - skin effect means that, at hf upward

- Skin effect is just as important at 60 hz as it is at RF. At 60 hz one skin depth is about 1/3 of an inch. It is important in power transmission systems. Multiple conductors spaced apart are used rat

- You're pretty much right. The skin effect keeps the RF current on the surface of the whole stranded bundle, so as each strand dives into the braid the current has to hop across onto strands that are

- At longwave I think the actual skin depth comes into play as well - it's around .15mm/.005" so if the individual strands in a bundle are too thin, you lose out. A useful place for UK readers - www.wi
