No problem there. In fact the magnetizing current will easily be high
enough to saturate the core and blow the mains fuse. You could try
incrementally reducing it but I don't think there'd be much leeway.
After all, it was designed in the first place.

	Remember that transformer iron (steel) is heavy and
expensive.  Manufacturers don't use any more than they have to!
