But that is exactly backwards from the way chokes work.  As the current 
rises, and the core approaches saturation, the coil starts to lose the inductance 
enhancement provided by the core, and it approaches the inductance of an 
equivalent air core choke.  That is, the inductance *drops*, and the inductive 
reactance *drops* and the AC current shoots way up. 
 
That makes perfect sense to me.  So how _do_ current-limiting chokes work, 
then?  I always assumed they worked as I described but I may well be wrong.
