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.
