Title pretty much says it all. I'm trying to find a current limiting ballast for a solid state tesla coil, and this has the right size and current draw, but I'd like to eliminate the motor screaming, if possible.
Thoughts?

Do you mean will the primary coil draw current if plugged in?
Yes.
Not to be critical, but it's a weird question. It's not a bad question, I just can't figure out what you're attempting to do by removing the motor? And, why you'd keep it energized if you remove the motor?
After reading more, it seems like I'm simply looking for a choke that limits current to 1ish amps
I'll probably be cranking up the current after I get it working, but this is a second step from the light bulb
