>Aircraft/shipboard power is generally 400 Hz, 3 phase 200Y/115V.
Do you know the maximum ampacity of a circuit?
What I was thinking of is that the skin-effect is going to limit conductors of 400 Hz to about 0.260" diameter which is 2 AWG. Heavier conductors would have to be tremendously derated.
2 AWG would limit circuits to around 125 A. So we would have to be allowed to parallel them. The idea of having many of these paralleled is unappealing.
Perhaps the final transformer could be placed right ahead of or after the meter?
Equipment drawing over 100 A would have to run from a higher voltage - which isn't really a bad trade off.
