Is there any difference in AC current/ DC current carrying
capacity of a conductor .What can be maximum current
handling capacity of a 2.5mm stranded cu cable when
connected to AC and DC supply.



Is there any difference in AC current/ DC current carrying capacity of a conductor .What can be ma..

Answer / percy

yes there is a difference in current carrying capacity as
dc current spreads in whole conductor area and the ac
current density is not uniform and hence the resistance in
ac will be high in case of AC
