Re: transformer
I wouldn't expect the secondary to get up to the calculated voltage because the core is likely to saturate long before. You're applying 400v to a 160v winding, 2.5 times the intended voltage.
When the core saturates the primary inductance plunges and the primary current goes through the roof. It's a race between a fuse and the wire going first.
