The 12V lines are connected directly to the full power output. The smaller traces coming off of the main pads are for the regulation. I would guess that if either pad goes over 15A, or maybe 20A for ATX and 10A for Acc., then it would trip the overcurrent sensor and shut down. There must be a main OC sensor on the other side of the big Xformer, but at least if you bypass the chokes you wont have to deal with the unnecessary secondary OC circuits. Or maybe they will see equal load and not trip anyways... IDK.
