Stray capacitance becomes an important consideration as input frequency increases. As the following expression indicates, an increase in frequency decreases the capacitive reactance, which results in increased current flow through insulating materials.


Xc=1/(2pi*FC)

Power losses thru insulation which are negligible at 60Hz become significant at high frequency.
