I think you might be talking about a swinging choke. Current isn't so much the issue here but the AC voltage the choke can support before saturating. It's is a combination of both current and voltage but for the lump of iron I have I suspect it's more the voltage across it that may be issue.RhythMick wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 7:25 am Harshest conditions would be at startup, maybe consider a slow start circuit? I've honestly never worried about the choke. Even if it briefly saturated at startup it just makes it a heavy resistor but it will quickly return to normal? Am I missing something?
I'm going to have to have a dig to educate myself more on this. How to test etc. Hoping the right piece of cardboard will gap it to support the higher voltage. Expecting to lose some inductance but be left with enough.
