No real problems... The insulation on a typical pole pig is rated for much
higher than the normal (10-15kV) primary voltage because of lightning and
switching transients  (80+ kV is typical) .

If your pigs are the kind with one side of the primary (hv winding)
connected to the case, you'll have to run them with the cases connected
together.
