of course it was done, and i guess very many times.
small power - Mr Conner - no oil, no pvc, no transients - no
problem.
very BIG power - Mr Leyh - absolutely the same.
i`m joining Mr Conner the next year.
the ballast at the primary side may cause the voltage increasing on the
transformer - much higher than nominal, so i`d better let my inductor
to be destroyed, instead of the transformer rated at  several kw.
of course if you use a pig it`s no differ for you - it`s equal to the
sitting in a tank :-)
but it is not example of the good engineering i think.

The solution to no primary hits lay in getting rid of the primary!
This is no joke either.
