Skin effect is negligible at 60Hz until the wire diameter exceeds about an inch and a third. At higher frequency the effect is more extreme. Even up to 4/0 solid wire it’s non-existent at 60Hz.
If you want to get extreme, look into how electricity actually works. Power doesn’t flow in the wires at all. Electrons move relatively slowly in a wire, creating a field around the wire which is where the actual power transfer happens. The field travels close to the speed of light.John & Kathy

I disagree. And no reason to turn this into a contest.
I have a degree in electric, as its use for distribution. As well as the mentioned hands on over 32 years.
A private discussion is always best when debating anything.
I stand behind what i posted, for said distribution for house hold use, normal use.

Thats very nice.
It is an interesting profession. Seems the worse the weather, the more one is out in it, keeping or putting the power back on.
I see your from Canada. It was years ago, Canada got a nasty ice storm and flattened alot of distribution lines as well as transmission. I was next in line to go help, but the distribution part was coming along, but the transmission was flat still. So i didnt get to go. We usually do 18 18 hour days and rotate in and out. The company in worked for in New Hampshire.
I am 53 miles from the Canadian boarder where i sit right now. The Winnipeg area. Im in Minnesota.

I remember that episode - 1998 and massive transmission towers on the ground. If I recall, NH then imported quite a bit of electricity from Quebec and there was concern about shortages here. Still remember the huge number of bucket trucks coming up from the Carolinas.
On the topic of dielectric grease, I tried it once on my plow harness. Last time I used it except to lube spark plug wire boots. The connections on the plow harness were a mess - took me hours cleaning it up in snow and ice only to find the connections badly corroded as well.Robin & John
