Yes. We had 3 3090 <https://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_PP3090.html>’s and they all incorporated multiple motor/generator units ( 3089 ) to generate 400Hz power ( in addition to chilled water distribution modules, etc. )

IBM 3089 Power Unit
The IBM 3089 is connected to your mainline supply. It is designed to provide a stabilized 400 Hertz AC power source to units of the Processor Complex
