	I would concur with the suggestion of dropping the
	input voltage.  Transformer should be well
	insulated for the lower voltage.  Downside is that the
	_power_ available would drop off, as the max current would
	not go up (assuming operation within ratings...)
	Also, x-ray transformers are not 'self protecting', as
	NST, OBIT, etc....
