Skin effect factor conductor

Skin effect is the name given to the tendency for current to flow predominantly in the periphery of a conductor due to the internal magnetic field in the conductor.

In the absence of alternative formulae, it is recommended that the formulae should be used for sector and oval-shaped conductors.
