Hi David,

I just heard from a coiler off list that uses PFC's. Nothing regarding 
how it reacts regarding the current you saw, but he did mention small 
coils do better with PFC as opposed to no PFC and that larger coils 
don't seem to do as well with them (just a statement no details). He's 
using 220uF on a 15/60. Calc's would say 166uF as the ballpark number. 
So he's up from that value by 32%. Not surprising with the added 
inductance of the coil and components after the transformer.

Take care,
Bart
