If you had a clue you would know you are not going to get this power at any other frequency than 60 HZ, or 50 if on another continent. Damn sure not at 400 HZ. In fact at 400 HZ and 11KV/1.5 ampere fed by 3 phase you will need a JT8D jet engine
That may be exactly what's going on here. 400 Hz is used for power distribution on aircraft. 400 Hz is mostly used in military applications, though not entirely. My surmise, lacking other information, is that this 18 kW DC HV supply is part of some weapon system.

WHY do you need that kind of power (and voltage) to make a metal detector? :o



As below, so above.

Short circuit the power supply with the material being tested.
KABOOM = metal
