What is a composite conductor?
For transmission of high voltages, stranded conductors are used. These are known as composite conductors. These are composed of two or more strands of cable. Mainly for high voltage transmission, stranded copper conductors are used.
.
Solid conductors are used before for transmission purpose, but stranded conductors have many more advantages. That’s why they are rapidly used. They are widely used because of their:
• Flexibility.
• Mechanical stability.
• Reduction in skin effect (the tendency of the current to flow through the surface of the conductor).
