1 Answer

Answer :

Skin effect generally observed in ac conductor in transmission network, in skin the current flowing through outer layer of conductor is more than iner area of conductor thus we can say the current distribution in total area of conductor is not equal,  for reducing this effect we can use boundel conductor or used hollow conductor for power transmission

State the disadvantages of skin effect.

Description :  State the disadvantages of skin effect.

Answer : Disadvantages of skin effect:- 1. Full cross section of conductor is not utilized, Therefore effective area of conductor reduces so its resistance increases. 2. Due to increase in resistance, copper ... increases (Since Voltage drop = IR ) 5. So voltage regulation becomes poor (increases)
