The factor 1.15 covers the effects of the line side power factor, the current harmonic 
distortion, and the rectifier losses.

Multiple AC input 
If two or more drive modules are connected to the AC supply, the same conditions as 
above must still be fulfilled, but now for each individual drive module (i) and its mains 
choke separately. All of the connected drives must have a mains choke.
