   As a retired broadcast engineer, if it arcs, isolating the choke is 
classified as NOT a safe practice,
the safe procedure is to move the choke to the negative output of the 
rectifier, between the two
capacitors if it is a π network.  ("Pi" if the server and or your E-mail 
client doesn't support symbols)
