[Amps] skin effect

[Jeffrey Madore]

Steve,

The 4 wires that you refer to in distribution systems most likely consist of
3 phases on top and a neutral below. Skin effect is taken into consideration
in high current applications such as generating stations and substations,
where hollow aluminum buss is very commonly used.
