Measured the resistance on the electric choke: 9 ohms.
9 Ohms with 12 Volts? That's 1.3 A. Or, about 10% of the fuse on the circuit I'm considering (fuse #4, which comes from the ACC on the switch, and to the voltage regulator.
Sounds like a lot of current, to a guy used to the digital world...
So, I suppose the coiled heat element is made out of something like Tungsten, that changes resistance with temperature (thus, reducing the current).
Ponder, ponder, ponder...
