Thank You Bill. When I went to Votech back in the 70's, we were taught that AC used the whole copper mass and DC ran the outer edge. Keeping up with electronics and new theories requires constant schooling to stay up to date. This forum really helps. Since I'm in the process of bench work and laying track, the thought of using solid for a buss bar, was because I thought it would be easier to strip where a drop would be attached. I always seem to nick or break a strand or two cutting into stranded buss wire. Can you provide any tricks to avoid wire damage when stripping along the length?

If you use wire strippers that are  per gauged for specific  wire sizes you will never again nick of cut a wire when stripping off the insulation.
