I have a 15kv 30ma transformer which pops a 15A circuit breaker when the
primary is connected to the AC outlet.  There is no connection/load on
the secondary.  The outlet behaves normally with another transformer of
the same model.  There is no visible sign of a problem, except that
there is a tar leak down one corner, coming from the lid, (as though it
may have overheated, expanded, and leaked).  I have not yet checked it
with an ohm meter.

Is there a typical cause for this symptom, and what is the fix likely to
be?

Thanks for any info.
