At any given rail voltage, there is a minimum (critical) inductance that's required for proper choke I/P operation. Frankly, I don't know the formula for critical inductance.Once the critical inductance criterion is satisfied, a minimum current draw (the critical current) is needed for proper operation. A good approximation for the critical current, in mA., is V/L. When a bleeder resistor is used to ensure the critical current gets drawn, it turns out that 1 KOhm of resistance is appropriate for each Henry of inductance present in the 1st position.
