Jeff,
Doesn't work. I tried a similar idea by running a 115V microwave oven
transformer with 230V. All I managed to do was test my circuit
breakers. A better idea is to save up a few of them and wire the
secondaries in series to achieve higher voltage. I've read postings
on this list by guys who are using as many as six MOTs. I plan to try it
with four (for 9KV) as soon as I find one more.
