Sounds like your protectors didn't protect against the primary hit.  I was 
wondering if it would given that the hit is almost like a delta function. 
What about a spark gap shunt between the protector and the primary??

To prevent the corona ring from breakout, can you reduce your gap some more 
and if this doesn't do it, maybe you need to lower your toroid somewhat (to 
better shield the corona ring).
