I'm wondering why does she want to know. Stripline is not normally used in power circuits. Are you using this in a transmitter? If so, there many factors to consider. First, there is skin effect which reduces the DC resistance considerably at high frequencies. Silver plating rather than solder is used when skin effect is a problem. Then reflection coefficients are important because standing waves greatly reduce current carrying capacity. You will want to check dielectric absorption too. Of course all of these factors vary as a function of the operating frequency. Now do you see why the books don't discuss current carrying capacity for stripline?
