why do we use bundle conductors instead of using single
conductor of larger size for high voltage transmission?

Answer Posted / sandeep samant

It is due to skin effect of ac current. The most of ac current flows through the outer(circumference) part of conductor. So we use bundle conductor to increase the circumference area of conductor. it increases the current carrying capacity of conductor.
