LCLC implies a critical inductance first choke.
Isn't lClC (little l) a better representation of what you are doing?
Kind of like when one adds a small cap to a critical inductance choke filter to increase the voltage a little bit?
Those are referred to as cLCLC with the small c denoting that the first cap will not make the filter act totally like a cap input filter.
Just like your first choke is too small to make the filter act like a real choke input filter. (each diode staying on for it's full half cycle)
Hey, it's just a suggestion to keep it real and not confuse anybody.
I wouldn't call a cLCLC filter a cap input filter and you shouldn't call what you are doing a choke input filter.
Yours acts much more like a cap input filter than it does a choke input filter.
There's no reason not to be honest about it.
