Chokes
A choke is an inductor designed to have a high reactance to a particular frequency when used in a signal-carrying circuit. Choke coils are inductances that isolate AC frequency currents from certain areas of a radio circuit. Chokes depend upon the property of self-inductance for their operation. They are used to block alternating current while passing direct current. Common-mode choke coils are useful in a wide range of prevention of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from power supply lines and for prevention of malfunctioning of electronic equipment.
