[Milsurplus] hi volt choke testing questions

[Patrick Jankowiak]

Anyone have a quick and dirty way to test a power supply choke's 
inductance while running some current through it?

I have a weighty 95 ohm one that is 43H with no current. Like to 
know how much with 200-500mA. It has a gap, so I am pretty sure 
it's not a swinger, but I doubt it could still be 43H at 300mA.

I checked the inductance by putting a 5K resistor in series with 
it and a 20VAC power supply, adjusting the pot till the choke and 
resistor each had the same voltage across them, and then measured 
the resistance of the pot, substituted that for the reactive 
impedance of the choke, and came up with 43H.

Unfortunately I see no way to pass DC through the choke and also 
hook up this AC power supply to it. Maybe in series?
