Will the impedance characteristics for a length of stranded conductor be really close to an equivalent length of single core conductor?
For example, can you expect the same impedance from a 20 ft. run of 12 AWG single core as you would from a 20 ft. run of 20 AWG stranded conductor?
I know the reasoning behind using stranded conductor is to reduce skin effect, but will it have the same ampacity/resistivity/inductance/capacitance as its counterpart within a few percentage points?
