Why?
It is an inductor with substantial distributed capacitance forming a
parallel resonant circuit with a very high impedance at resonance. A
very effective method of stopping RF passage. On a single line they are
often used with a series resonant circuit to ground to effectively short
out the remaining RF.
Sorry OM,
you're screwed. It's not a choke (despite the term being in use since the
late 1800's because it "choked off" stray currents) and all those chokes I
Old, misused terms die hard
made to permanently cure my RFI are apparently just using up wire. My
mistake.
No, they just work for a different reason.
Photos of RFI before, after, and the century plus design non-chokes I made
to cure it upon request.
Parallel resonant circuits are very effective. No one is arguing that point.
