The psu has and input connection and an aux port to power up the monitor.
This small board was fitted so that it received mains power from the left (from the main cable), then the output (right side) was connected to the main psu circuit board by a couple of wires and soldered to the monitor socket.
This should be the circuit, the "out" label is going to the monitor and the psu board.
Value for the resistor and cap are correct, no clues for the inductors value, as far as I could observe, there were no values written.
So, what's its purpose? passive PFC? how could I see something interesting from LTspice simulation?
Thanks. The obsession may be driven by "efficiency", "energy saving" and so since ecology and clean environment are resonating in day to day talk, tv show, news and so
Can you give 1-2 tips on how to see filtering effect via LTspice? or at least, the name of the filter configuration?
Thanks!
(also, this thing it isn't fitted in all psus I disassembled, or not?)

It's fitted in all decent switch-mode PSU's - it helps to keep interference out of the PSU, and reduces interference from the PSU travelling back down the mains.
It's a common-mode filter which blocks EMI (electro magnetic interference) from going back out onto the AC power line. There are very strict regulations about how much EMI a device can cause onto the power line.
