[Amps] tuned choke

["John T. M. Lyles" <jtml@lanl.gov>]

Skipp
Tuned to resonance with no load, when you need it the most. When 
current load is increased, the tuned choke's equiv impedance falls to 
that of inductive reactance alone as the L changes (drops). That is 
enough for regulation under higher current.
