   Nope, maybe I am just thick. You said "10H is in shunt with load. Lower load   
   makes shunt more   
   significant."   
      
   Now you are saying "Language. Lower load = higher resistance."   
      
   Which means "Higher resistance makes shunt more significant"   
      
   That means to drive a higher resistance load I need MORE inductance in the   
   primary.   
      
   Does not make sense to me.
