correct me if i'm wrong, but stranded would
increase the surface area(S^2) of the "wire",
who knows...10-fold....100-fold??...depending on
# strands... i made a awg 6-12 (12 strand-6ga)
and a awg 4-8 primary and found pimary strikes
to be very much, more freq. and damaging . i atribute it to S^2
If there is some reason for this related to the wire, it´s probably
the more irregular outer surface decreasing the breakdown voltage there.
