What you have done is extremely dangerous. I recommend that you not install anything in the AC line that has not been UL approved for use at line voltages. What you have done is install a 57 ohm resistor between hot and neutral that has some minimal inductance (5H). There is over ONE AMP of current running through this choke rated for 300 mA! That is THREE TIMES THE CURRENT FOR WHICH THE DEVICE IS RATED!

My advice: ensure that your fire insurance is fully paid.
