	Here's a question I've asked before.  Since the secondary of the
transformer is loaded with a capacitor, why should the input reactance
necessarily be inductive?  Why should a PFC necessarily reduce the line
current?  And if it does, why should the correct value of capacitance be
the same independent of the capacitance in the secondary?
