In the Thread: Input choke for Low Currents?
Post Subject: What can I do… let it be big. Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/17/2007

Well, I also would like to have a spare ability to care current but 10A is 35 pounds monster and… it has just 100mH. I would prefer to have extra inductance then exacta current. The current wise is juts the thickness of the wire as I understand…I prefer the chokes gets hotter then they stop to “regulate”….

Yes, I know about the swinging chokes and I was searching for someone who would do 7A total, 200mA as 1.5A but it was not successful. There were places that wiling to do it but I never dealt with their chokes and I was afraid to order form then. The problem that they clams that no one among their customaries use their chokes right after rectifies and therefore they might have no idea how to build chokes that will be working within high ripples environment and to be silent at the same time. I have an unfortunate collection of the chokes that I made when I built Milq, the chokes that do wonderful job filtering with leading cap but they all too noisy with input choke.

Ironically the Hummonds, being the cheapest turned out to be the most silent, particularly the Ripleyed-epoxyed. What I inclined to do is to put two 5A, 100H chokes (still – 28 pounds of stupid metal ballast!!!), one on play and one on minis and they shunt them with a cap. This way each shoulder will buffered with choke… that “might” even prevent me form making a start delay for charging the 550.000uF caps.
