RE: please share (nt)

It sounds as if Wiki are saying that the actual diameter would be slightly larger for a given wire gauge in a stranded cable than for a single piece of solid core wire of the same gauge. I believe what UFO is saying is that for two wires of the same gauge (not the same diameter), one solid and one stranded, the stranded wire can carry more current.

The linked website has some interesting articles on cables, some of which I have read over the years in posts and articles by electrical engineers and designers, not much of which I have read in articles by cable manufacturers.
