Grid Standard Proposal 2

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
