Running at 400Hz allows the use of smaller transformers. Less energy has to
be stored in the transformer core per cycle, so the core can be smaller. A
smaller core means a lighter transformer, and reducing weight is a good
thing in an aircraft.
If an ordinary wire is used to carry high frequency currents, the wire acts as an antenna, and the high
frequency currents radiate off the wire as radio waves, causing power losses.

as frequency increases it causes to decrease in flux().

The frequency at which the skin effect starts to influence the current
distribution through a
What is skin effect? When the frequency increases the electrons tends to
flow from the skin of the conductor rather than the core it causes to great
increase in resistance of a conductor which is bad sign for us. Another
question may arrises, with increase in frequency, how increase in
resistance?

Eddy current losses can be reduced by making the core out of thin
laminations which have an insulating coating, or alternately, making
the core of a nonconductive magnetic material, like ferrite.
Copper losses can be improved by reducing the electrical losses in
the stator windings (e.g., by increasing the cross-sectional area of the
conductor, improving the winding technique, and using materials with
higher electrical conductivities, such as copper.
The conductivity of a transmission line can be enhanced by using
cables with multiple insulated conductors. Hollow conductors can also
help reduce the cost of transmission.
With high frequency, must use less no.of turns with thick lamination in
winding.
Flux is inversly proportional to speed, and speed is directly proportional
to frequency. Hence frequency is inversely proportional to flux. Lesser
the flux lesser the core required, lesser the core means lesser the
weight which is ideal in aircraft.
