Hello friendz, this is sudipto,from rourkela
skin effect is the tendency of AC current that it is
distributed in such a way that the current density is largest
at surface of the conductor and decreases towards core.
Now u can answer ,why conductors comes in strands in stead of
single wire.

Answer / dorji
If i answer to no.1
Conductors comes in strands coz, larger cross section of conductors can be used & on other hand if we happen to use single wire then, as said above the density of current will be high at the surface(skin effect), it means it uses only outer part of the conductor and no full utilization of conductor.

How do we measure earth fault current in Generator Transformer(20/420kv),Station Transformer(20/11 kv) and Unit Transformers(20/11kv) for our plant system, since these don't have any Neutral earth Fault relay connected to their Neutral Earth? But for Unit Service transformers(11/.433 Kv) we have an Earth Fault Relay connected to its neutral earth.Why is such so?
