[Lowfer] LitZ Wire Refernce Paper

[Tom Rauch]

Here's the opening paragraph of the most comprehensive paper I've 
found on Litz wire:

"A salient difficulty in designing high-frequency inductors and 
transformers is eddy-current effects in windings. These effects 
include skin-effect losses and proximity-effect losses. Both effects 
can be controlled by the use of conductors made up of multiple, 
individually insulated strands, twisted or woven together. Sometimes 
the term litz wire is reserved for conductors constructed according 
to a carefully prescribed pattern, and strands simply twisted 
together are called bunched wire. We will use the term litz wire for 
any insulated grouped strands, but will discuss the effect of 
different constructions"
