Non-linear inductor are used to reduce the percent total harmonic distortion of the harmonics in the line currents in the input side rectifier system of an ac drive system. The switches having second terminals, wherein each one of the second switch terminals SW2 of the first plurality of switches and of the second plurality of switches is coupled to at least one node of a plurality of nodes. In this process, a portion of the data packets are transmitted to a different receiving location with available bandwidth.
