why 400Hz is used for aircraft systems ?

Answer Posted / ashish yadav

IN A AITCRAFT SPACE SAVING IS IMPORTANT, BY USING A 400 HZ FREQ THE SIZE OF MOTOR, GENERATOR, ALTERNATOR & TRANSFORMER SIZE CAN REDUCED BECAUSE SPEED IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO FREQ AND INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO FLUX THERFORE FLUX IS INVER TO FREQ.HIGHER THE FREQ LESSER THE FLUX AND LESSER THE CORE SIZE MEANS LESS WEIGHT AND SIZE.
ALSO 400 HZ IS A CRITICAL FREQ ABOVE WHICH CONDUCTOR SHOW SKIN EFFECT MEANS START RADIATING, THIS AFFECT THE RADIO SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
