Hi all,

I know that this string won't die, but I feel that I have a point that I
need to raise with the choke-haters :). What if you match the choke to a
resistor, so you reach a critical damping point to stop the choke inputting
pulses into the transformer or resonating??? I was talking to a friend about
the filter for his big coil, and he uses chokes for it. I am currently
running some simulations to see what kind of resistance I need.... I think
however that it could work very well for a coil that is too big to use a
terry style filter. I am always going to use a filter, because there is some
sensitive equipment on my AC line that I would like to keep whole....

Regards,
Jason
