Hbiss
Please explain my false impressions. Maybe I am applying transmission priciples but I know High voltage transmission wires rotate their position on long runs to cancel capacitive reactance. At least the local transmission engineer told me that. The twist is supposed to add inductive reactance to offset or cancel capacitive reactance.
What else is totaly false? the surface area. Are you saying that high frequencies are not benifitted by greater surface area? My Physics teacher and all my electrical teachers told me that High frequencies and higher voltages tend to travel on the surface of the conductor and certainly there are High voltage conductors that are hollow for this reason. I understood the surface effect started to matter around 1000 hz and that is in the Audio range. I know solid wire will drive a speaker and I probably would not hear any attenuation.
Another benifit of stranded wire relates to vibration but maybe I am wrong there too??
I don't mind you telling me I am wrong but now you need to elaborate so I can correct my mis-understandings. Just telling me I am wrong is totally wrong and tends to get my back up.
Thanks
