Best Answer

I've been looking at them for a bit wondering the same question. I believe:

When the switch is closed, the inductor will have a high resistance, limiting power directly from the main power source. During this time, the capacitor will be delivering voltage to the output.

When the switch is open, the inductor will power the output while recharging the capacitor.

From what i get it's not *necessary*, but does even out the voltage considerably.

Maybe someone has a better answer...

110 volt motor 14amp pull how big of a 12 volt converter do you need to run this?

converters are usually listed in Watts output- sometimes with a surge wattage about 2 times the normal running wattage- motors usually have a surge need to start and then even out- so assuming this motor runs at 14amp= Watts = volts X amps, you should need 1540 watt converter- 2000 watt converter to be safe
