Abstract
A procedure is presented for determining the cross-sectional high-frequency current distribution and Ohmic resistance per unit length for systems of parallel round wires carrying equal currents. The additional Ohmic resistance due to the proximity effect is examined for various conductor spacings. An optimum spacing for minimum resistance is determined for systems of conductors with restricted dimensions. Theoretical current distributions are compared with measurements.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
