through the conductors to be concentrated more at
-1 the outer edges (or “skin”) of the conductors than
50 Hz 60 Hz at the middle of the conductors.
-1.5
As the frequency of the current increases, the
resistance due to the Skin Effect increases. By
Figure 1. Frequency comparison operating a circuit breaker rated for 60 Hz at
50 Hz, the reduced Skin Effect resistance allows
the circuit breaker to run slightly cooler. Therefore,
continuous current performance for a 60 Hz circuit
breaker will be better when operating the circuit
breaker at 50 Hz.
