What is skin effect?..

Answer / dorji

If i answer to no.1
Conductors comes in strands coz, larger cross section of conductors can be used & on other hand if we happen to use single wire then, as said above the density of current will be high at the surface(skin effect), it means it uses only outer part of the conductor and no full utilization of conductor.

( Re: WHAT SHOULD BE THE RATING OF MCCB FOR 415V,3Ph,50KVAR CAPACITOR BANK Answer # 1 The capacitor current would be kvar x 1000 / (415 x sqrt3). This would be 70a approx. The MCCB selected should have *atleast 1.4 times this current i.e. 1.4 x 70= 98. So you should choose at least 100 A mccb.) regarding to this answer,i would like to know why the current have to times 1.4 to get the right amphere for the mccb.hows the formula to get the 1.4??tq
