Considering the skin effect of alternating current, power plants often use槽形 or 菱形 busbars for their high current busbars to effectively utilize conductor materials and facilitate heat dissipation. Additionally, in high-voltage transmission and distribution lines, the use of steel-core aluminum conductors instead of aluminum conductors saves aluminum wire and increases the mechanical strength of the conductors, both of which are exploiting the skin effect principle. The skin effect is one of the fundamental distortion processes in transmission lines and can easily be overlooked or misunderstood. Contrary to the exaggerated claims of general transmission line propaganda, the skin effect does not alter all high-frequency signals and does not cause any related kinetic energy loss. On the contrary, the skin effect results in intermittent transmission of high-frequency signals due to different components of the conductor. Similarly, on aging cable conductors, the skin effect promotes the interplay of signal currents across multiple cables, creating piercing marks in the sound.
