You need to catch up- the 48 volt system would drive ALL the accessories

Lighter gage wire yes but less iron NO. For a constant amount
of power (HP) you will need same size iron core FOR DC.
If you go to AC sure as in 400 cps . Which brings up a good
point why not use an inverter and make the accessories AC?
With the current technology of VFD s it should do wonders
for reducing weight, wire, etc.
