Specification
| Type | Alternating Current |
| Voltage | 250 Volts |
| Frequency | 400 Hz |
Reasoning
Higher frequencies are desirable because [insert reasoning here].
There are limiting factors, however. Electricity, when recified, can cause a hum. 1 kHz would be like having the microwave beeping continuously. Higher frequencies can radiate like a radio transmitter. 400 Hz is a frequency that has in the past been used by trains and busses for running flourescent lights.
Pros
Clean-Sheet Design
This design is not tied to 19th century technological or political considerations.
Cons
Incompatible with Terrestrial Systems
Terrestrial products will require adaptation to work on a power grid using this specification.
Changes
There have been no changes to this specification
