what is skin effect? why is it absentin dc system

Answer Posted / kunal varshney

Skin effect appears in conductors carrying Alternative
currents. as its name shows, current flows through the
surface rather than through the whole cross sectional area
of the conductor. it happens because of electromagnetic
effect of AC. Due to it inductance of conductor is more at
the centre and it decreases as reaches to surface of
conductor .thats why in AC current flow on surface of
conductor.
as we know that reactance is zero that is the effect oo
inductance is zero therfore their is uniform resistance in
& on the surface thats why skin effect is absent

This is reqd for a 1MW Solar power plant..We have 2DC outputs from the solar panels Connected to 2INVERTOR panels.. Output from invertor is 3ph,280v,500kva,50hz.These are connected to individual ACB.This has to be stepped up to 11KV ,1250KVA SYSTEM.Now can I use (1) one more ACBTO GIVE A COMBINED OUTPUT OF 1000KVA,280V & STEP UP THE OUTPUT BY USING a single two winding 3 ph transformer 11kv/1250kva. or (2)use the two outputs and connect to one three winding transformer of above rating..Pls suggestwith details.
