Does this sound right? Yes – more specifically, less iron is needed. (About 80 percent less iron is required for transformers.) The subject is a little complicated in the case of motors, but the results are real. So 400 Hz is great in situations where weight is a big factor. However, lower frequencies (such as 50 or 60 hertz) are preferable for long transmission lines. The reduced effects of capacitance and inductance are helpful here.
