[Amps] Plate choke resistance

[Will Matney]

Angelo,

The wire is sized for it's current carrying capacity first. In HV anode circuits your looking at maybe 2 amps so the wire is pretty small. The other reason is using larger wire makes for the choke to either be longer or larger in diameter to give the same inductance. Chokes or transformers are mounted at right angles to one another to de-couple them, or kill out reactions between the two. Hope this helps.

Best,

Will
