avec extraction du courant CA par le biais d'une bobine d'arrêt

Explanation:
An electrical 'choke' (= inductance) is being used to separate a low-frequency AC power signal (presumably, from some other higher-frequency signal line)

More context would help to confirm, as the text is rather cryptic in the way it is written. Cold it be non-native EN? I would have expected it to say: "Using a choke to extract AC power"
