Hi Guys
Actually, you can use a 50/60 Hz xfmr up there at 500Hz just fine
with no extra core dissipation.
The flux density is reduced due to the mag current being
proportionately less.
the losses are roughly the same.
Its just that they dont do that for aircraft supplies due to
weight.
These days with SMPS, who uses big iron any more?

The main issue is to get the thin laminations you need for 500 Hz.
I
suppose they are available, as used in aircraft transformers, but
maybe
really difficult to get in small quantities.
