why 400Hz is used for aircraft systems ?

Answer Posted / ravi

Higher than usual frequencies, such as 400 Hz, offer
several advantages over 60 Hz – notably in allowing
smaller, lighter power supplies to be used for military
hardware, commercial aircraft operations and computer
applications. As aircraft space is at a premium and weight
is critical to aircraft engine thrust and fuel burn (and
thus the aircraft range and engine horsepower per pound),
115 volts at 400 Hz offers a distinct advantage and is much
better than the usual 60 Hz used in utility power generation

Sir, My doubt on cable sizing calculation, Load:74 KW calculated cable 1 run 50mm2. Now client asking us to reduce cable size by increasing runs. Sir, My question now when my mind strikes with 2 options 1) Divide load 74/2 = 36 and calculate cable for 36+36 making it 2 runs or 2) Simply i can divide 50mm2 /2 ie. 2 runs of 25mm2 Please suggest me sir
