	Are you saying that a reactor, with the core saturated in one direction
by a DC magnetizing force or a permanent magnet will have a steady-state
DC component in the current which can flow through it when an AC voltage
is impressed?  Gotta think that through some more, but don't see how
that could happen.  Don't have a simulation program which includes a
model for saturation, and am trying to figure out an EASY experiment. 
Gave plenty of magamp cores of all sizes, so might be able to rig it. 
More discussion please.
