Lec -8| Skin Effect & Proximity effect| Power system-1| Btech Electrical 5th Sem. |#aktu #btech

Skin and proximity effects are crucial in power systems. Skin effect causes alternating current to flow mainly on the conductor's surface, increasing resistance due to reduced effective cross-section. Proximity effect occurs when nearby conductors interact magnetically, leading to non-uniform current distribution. Both effects contribute to transmission losses and are essential for understanding electrical engineering.
