•  Not only that, but a resonant-choke filter can handle  rapid 
fluctuations in load current (as with SSB) , something that neither a 
swinging-choke filter or an ordinary choke filter can manage.    And, as 
an added FREE bomus, a FWB, resonant-choke filter allows about 20% more 
DC current to be drawn than the transformer's AC-RMS rating - for the 
same temperature rise  .   However, just the opposite effect applies to 
capacitor-filter rectifier circuits.
