If the principal aim of the power outlet is to power standard domestic items like vacuum cleaners etc on the ground then I wonder why the outlet was not designed for domestic frequency 50/60 Hz in the first place instead of 400 Hz. Nowadays it just needs a few extra power electronics components inside the outlet to make the conversion.
