[Milsurplus] ART-13 LV current requirement?

Hello,

I am working on revising the power supply that came with my ART-13. It is a homebrew system and the current choke used in the circuit is 10hy at 200ma. If I am not mistaken the current requirements for the 400vdc circuit on the ART-13 are close to 300-400ma, correct? Would anyone happen to have an exact (or near exact) figure? This would make the 200ma choke seem a little under specified for this system. Secondly, is 10hy sufficient for use as a choke input power supply? The schematic for the supply I have is located here:

I am looking to possibly upgrade the choke I have hence my request for clarification with regards to current and inductance requirements.

Thank you,

- Mike
