it is an inductance set across the line to be used as energy storage and a sort of poor-mans power-factor correction. Any filtering, I think, has to come from the capacitance in the windings; that is it is a byproduct and not an intended consequence.Where it seems to help is in keeping the current wave-form properly in place relative to the voltage one. It also does ABSORB surges from the line if they are quick enough (so does your regrigerator when it is running). Strangely enough, MOV's anywhere in the house also absorb and damp spikes.
This is not a replacement for JR's filter, but rather an adjunct to it.
