The transformer will probably hum loudly and get hot, and perhaps
burst into flames after a while. Eventually, a fuse, if fitted, will blow,
and when the insulation burns off the wires, a short will blow the
mains fuse. This is the result of saturation.


But (as Red Green points out) that would at least as entertaining as your
average "Matlock" episode. Probably more so.
