Nice article and cool you are here for questions.

> The unit is powered by 26 volts, 400 Hz, a standard voltage for aviation.

Any idea as to the history as to why this is the case?

I assume higher voltage is useful for lower amps? But why 400 hz?

Seems odd to use such a high voltage if components such as this must have internal transformers?
