Has anyone ever installed electrical for a commercial plane? If so, can you offer some input on the electrical symbols. Are they the same?or standardized?

When I say efficient, I?m talking about how small and light weight they are (400hz) in comparison to a 60Hz type frequency.

My question was of the choice of frequency in general. But then again, perhaps you answered it since we are talking about aircraft. Size and weight make a tremendous difference. :)

here is another good one: The maximum speed of a 400HZ induction motor is 24,000 RPM, approximately seven times faster than is possible with a 60HZ motor. This higher speed and the use of higher quality wire and lamination steel make it possible to produce motors with 10 times the power for the same weight and same size as a 60HZ motor.
