Or even a big MOV with adequate voltage rating.
I don't recall reading about your choke failure. FWIW, Hammond has the nick-name "Buzz and Burn," concerning the quality level of the transformers. Perhaps you were unlucky and got a defective unit.
My loaded transformers (similar purpose) are fed through 1-ampere panel-mount magnetic circuit breakers. Closing the breakers requires several tries to get them to remain closed. At least they get to absorb the arcing abuse instead of the plug contacts.
