I know y do it , but why !
When running alternating current you run solid wire , when running direct current you run stranded . Why ?

Never thought about it. :h
I guess I just assumed wire that was used for anything that moved, flexed, rolled, stored away, bent (like extension cords) was stranded.
Anything that was stationary, like wiring inside a wall that would never move, was solid.
Maybe I'm wrong, who knows?
