I would not think it would make much difference, but why would you take a chance on it? For an example; If you try to run your computer monitor at a different hertz than it was designed to operate you get a less than desirable picture even though it will run. In recording equipment IF you try to run a different hertz piece of equipment than what it is designed to use, the outcome is a buzz that is annoying. This buzz (hum) can be quite loud and in some cases damage the equipment. This I know from experience as I have a recording studio. When I encounter this problem I have to use a filter that will cut the noise. Good Luck!

i haven't heard of a 400hz frequency, unless you fabricated one.
You see, there are only two frequencies available around the globe - 50 and 60hz.
but if you mean 50watts of equipment to run from a 400w supply (that is with same voltage), it's definitely ok. vice versa? the equipment will not work and it will ruin the supply due to very large difference in power.
hope i made it clear

400 Hz power is found on military and probably commercial aircraft. It allows equal power with smaller motors and generators.

Where did you get 400hz at?

No it can't.
