. . . a little bit about electrical electrical engineering um you don't need to know a lot but just a little bit uh we'll understand that you actually want a higher voltage in order to reduce the resistance losses.
So the heating in any wire is the current is the square of the current. So if you're trying to get a particular power rating through then as you increase the voltage you can decrease the current. Voltage times amperage equals your power. To hold power constant, the heating is is proportionate to the square of the current. So you want to raise the voltage in order to lower the current thus lower the heating in the wire.
And the net effect being that you can have much thinner wires, then as you raise the voltage you can you can drop the the the thickness of the wires. You can have much you can use much less, in a nutshell. You can use much less copper and the wire harness weighs much less as you raised the voltage.
