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

As we use capacitor bank in 3ph ckt to improve PF, can we use capacitor in single ph domestric use, in house we have Fan,Mixer,electric cooker,iron,tube choke they also lag the system,because it is inductive load. if it is possible to improve PF of single ph system-- if yes- type of capacitor to be used,connection diagram, working in detail. if no-- list it.
