The High-frequency Phenomenon of Copper Clad Aluminum Wires which are Lower the Alternating Current Resistance than Copper Solid Wires, and the Application of Copper Clad Aluminum Wires to the Electrical Equipment

The paper is proposed approximate formulas of the ac resistance of lead wires and coils which made by using copper clad aluminum (CCA) wires. There are the frequency range that the ac resistance of CCA wires is lower than it of cupper solid wires for lead wires and coils of an electrical equipment. It is shown that the application of CCA wires is economical as comparing with copper solid wires, if the design is due to successful calculation in the electrical equipment. The measured resistance is compared with the formula. CCA wires is an example of multiple conductors which shall be expected to apply in future.
