Hi,
We are doing a offline flyback at 100kHz.
irms(pri) is 1A
Primary is 32 strands of 0.315mm EC Wire.

Skin depth is 0.206mm

According to this.....

(Post #27 of this....)
_____--_________________________vvv___________
First calculate x from:
x=2*pi*r*sqrt(2*f/172400)

where f is frequency in Hertz and r is wire radius in millimeters,

then for 0<=x<=4 use:
K=(3.2*x^4+576)/(x^4+576)

and for 4<x<=10 use:
K=(204*x+151)/576

and then we have:
Rac=Rdc*K

r = radius in mm
f = freq
____---__________________________^^^-----------

Rac = 1.01 x Rdc

Surely this cant be right? Rac almost equals Rdc
