[QUOTE="arwooldridge, post: 546805, member: 35807"] Always wondered why they chose 50/60 Hz go AC transmission. What if you upped the frequency? Marine and aircraft used to use 400Hz enabling smaller transformers. switched mode power supplies are kHz. I think the problem is not in the transformers but the reactive losses in the lines and cables. I think that is the reasoning for DC. [/QUOTE]
