Not necessarily, on 3 phase systems, you would have to be creative to get below .9
You can easily get to .95 with a simple multipulse rectification. Beyond that, other than regulatory compliance, you do not gain much efficiency. I can't imagine these systems running on anything other than 3 phase power. Didier Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: "J.
