The IEC 555 standard (later superseded by IEC 61000-3-2) specifies
allowed harmonic distortion in the power supply current of electronic

I believe it is mandatory in Europe and some other countries but not the
United States:
I don't believe that it is legal to market a power supply that only
draws current on input peaks in either the USA or EU these days. Power
supplies are supposed to spread the current demand over a significant
part of the cycle. I believe this is done by having a relatively low
value
For those that travel with the KPA1500 amp, 120v would be a nice option.
240V is not always readily available from rental homes, generators, etc.
Being able to use the amp, even at reduced power, in these situations
would be great.

The reason for using 240VAC is to reduce the IR drop in the AC line,
which, BTW, is not sinusoidal, but rather pulses that charge the filter
caps at the peaks of each cycle. So the drop in the wire is even greater
than Ohm's law appliced to a sine wave would predict.

However, the far right number does look like 1500 more than
It might, but at typical efficiencies 1500W peak output would be a significant
