In this paper, copper and copper-clad aluminum winding conductors were compared. The effective resistances as functions of frequency for the cored coils were compared using the 3D finite element model frequency sweep analysis for low, medium, and high frequencies. To compare equivalent designs, both coils were designed to have similar direct-current resistance. Benefits of the copper-clad aluminum over the copper coils are presented.
