That's a big honkin' inductance, but it makes sense. I'll try it.

The shunt results in large leakage inductance. Model it as a very large
inductor in series with the secondary.
For instance, if you have a 15kV, 30mA transformer, that implies that
the series impedance of the secondary is 15E3/30E-3 or 5 Megohms. Using
X = L *2*pi*f At 60 Hz, that's 13kHenry
