Explain in brief the skin effect in power system.

Expert Solution

Step 1

In the conductor, the availability of the alternating current at the surface is greater and this effect is known as skin effect. Since, the DC current is equal and uniform in nature hence, there will be no existence of skin effect on the DC current.

Whereas in AC current, there is unequal flow of the current. Generally, it happens in the long transmission lines. For short line there is no any effect of skin effect seen.
