  • Patent number: 6198643
    Abstract: A choke coil [e.g exceeding about three (3) henries] placed in parallel with the A/C line, that is, preferably across the A/C line's “hot” and “common” lines, quenching the reflected signal (or back emf) that is developed when any power amplifier or other load places it's demands upon the incoming A/C power line. Due to its electromagnetic characteristics, the choke tends to provide a momentary high current source of energy when needed by, e.g., a power amplifier (or other appropriate load) when transient demand is called for. The invention's parallel choke approach, due to the fact that it must be magnetically charged by electricity [either from the A/C line or back electromotive force (emf) from it's load] tends to have a reversing effect on this signal, preventing, eliminating or at least substantially reducing it's presence on the A/C line, thereby providing a greatly enhanced A/C power line signal quality for the load.
