The bumping is usually completely elimenated with the addition of a very low 
value resistor bank of a capacity twice that of the system power usage.  I 
use about .7 - 1.2 ohms from about 8 - 4 KW in series with my inductor.  It 
is a delicate adjustment, so I have both a variable inductor and a stepped, 
tapped resistor bank of about 10,000 watt capability of up to 3 ohms.  So 
you lose some juice in waste heat.  The universe is doomed to a heat death 
anyway.  Do your bit for increased entropy!  Besides contributing to the 
inevitable, all your running coil's surges and bumps disappear with out too 
much heartburn.
