Remember that virtually all twin lead is multiple
strands which will have a larger surface area than a
single conductor of the same gauge.

Wire size doubles per 3 wire gauges, 18, 21, 24, 27 is
2 x 2 x 2 = 8, so 26 has about 1/8 the cross section
of 18. If you look at skin effect, and consider only
surface area, the ratio is Sq. Rt. of 8 (assuming the
same stranding)
