Best Answer

with the inductance of a conductor it tends to push current flow to the outside

to reduce the effect you make the conductor hollow

with 80 hz and Cu conductor the current is in the outer 8mm or so.

Answer

You cannot really reduce the skin effect in ordinary conductors; for the sake of economy, you can use tubular conductors. Tubular conductors do not reduce the skin effect, but merely saves copper (if little current flows towards the centre, why have a centre!). However, special, insulated, conductors ('litz' wire) woven or braided in various patterns, can be used for special applications (e.g. high-frequency transformer windings) up to around 1 MHz or so. Because each strand has a very small cross-sectional area, and is insulated from its adjacent conductors, the skin effect is negligible compared with if it were a solid conductor.

What is meant by skin effect?

The skin effect occurs in conductors carrying alternating currents, where the tendency is for the current to flow towards the surface of the conductor. The effect increases with frequency. At radio frequencies, the skin effect is so pronounced, that there is little point in using solid conductors, so tubes are used instead.The skin effect is responsible for the so-called 'AC resistance'. This is because the skin effect acts to reduce the effective cross-sectional area of a conductor, thus increasing its resistance compared to when a DC current passes through the conductor.
