Skin effect has practical consequences in the analysis and design of radio-frequency and microwave circuits, transmission lines (or waveguides), and antennas. It is also important at mains frequencies (50–60 Hz) in AC electric power transmission and distribution systems.
The incremental inductance rule, attributed to Harold Alden Wheeler [1] by Gupta [2]: 101 and others [3]: 80 is a formula used to compute skin effect resistance and internal inductance in parallel transmission lines when the frequency is high enough that the skin effect is fully developed. Wheeler's concept is that the internal inductance of a ...
A similar effect is the proximity effect, which is caused by externally induced eddy currents. [ 3 ] An object or part of an object experiences steady field intensity and direction where there is still relative motion of the field and the object (for example in the center of the field in the diagram), or unsteady fields where the currents ...
They were developed by Oliver Heaviside who created the transmission line model, and are based on Maxwell's equations. Schematic representation of the elementary component of a transmission line. The transmission line model is an example of the distributed-element model. It represents the transmission line as an infinite series of two-port ...
Examples of skin depth in copper wire at different frequencies At 60 Hz the skin depth of a copper wire is about 7.6 mm (0.30 inches). At 60,000 Hz (60 kHz) the skin depth of copper wire is about 0.25 mm (0.0098 inches). At 6,000,000 Hz (6 MHz) [5] the skin depth of copper wire is about 25 μm (0.00098 inches).
Proximity and skin effect significantly complicate the design of efficient transformers and inductors operating at high frequencies, used for example in switched-mode power supplies. In radio frequency tuned circuits used in radio equipment, proximity and skin effect losses in the inductor reduce the Q factor, broadening the bandwidth. To ...

Approximated model for Short Transmission Line Phasor diagram of short transmission line. The transmission lines which have a length less than 60 km are generally referred to as short transmission lines. For its short length, parameters like electrical resistance, impedance and inductance of these short lines are assumed to be lumped.
