Re: Wire preference - stranded or solid
Keith,
The skin effect caused by AC currents in copper wire is about 8.5mm at 60 Hz or about twice the diameter of #10 wire (~4mm). At the switching frequency of the Victor of 150Hz, skin effect is not much different and at full throttle surely does not exist. At 15kHz, (the switching frequency of Jaguars) the skin effect is about the diameter of #17 wire. The difference between solid and stranded conductors is still minimal.
