conductor skin depth calculator online

Use conductor skin depth calculator online for frequency Hz, resistivity ohm m, relative permeability. Homogeneous good conductor approximation. Ideal nominal component model. Verify topology, operating range, tolerances and ratings against the actual component datasheet.

How to use it

Enter frequency Hz. Set resistivity ohm m, relative permeability. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
frequency HzMain input. Positive values. 100000
resistivity ohm mOption. Positive values. 1.68e-8
relative permeabilityOption. Positive values. 1

Calculation method

skin_depth_m = sqrt(resistivity_ohm_m/(pi*frequency_Hz*1.25663706127e-6*relative_permeability)) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply conductor skin depth calculator to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Homogeneous good conductor approximation.

Conductor Skin Depth Calculator — worked case

Settings: resistivity ohm m: 1.68e-8; relative permeability: 1

Input:

100000

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "skin_depth_m": 0.00020628838342330504
}

Choose the right tool

Match the topology before entering values: series and parallel networks, inverting and noninverting stages, and buck and boost converters use different equations. Component ratings, parasitics, protection and measured conditions require separate review.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Homogeneous good conductor approximation. Ideal nominal component model. Verify topology, operating range, tolerances and ratings against the actual component datasheet.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
