Using this setup would be like going back in the dark ages, as the resulting power loss even at 19,100 volts would be quite substantial not even mentioning the potential for the risk of shock. remember the loss of power across a resistance is the same at any voltage. this would be the most unbalance system I've ever heard of. and if the primary was tied to the secondary then the chance of shock would be even more just ask any one who has dealt with stray currents on the egc's just to find out the power company had lost the concentric neutral at the pole or lost it under ground and then the transformer try's to get current through the grounding system. I wish we could stop using a grounding system and an unbalanced system so we could get totally away from stray currents! this would make us change to a different way of protecting from lighting strikes but it can and has been done high impedance grounding systems have been around for awhile and a warning system to detect ground faults and trip a breaker has been used before too this way there is no potential between the current carrying conductors and ground just like in a isolated transformer set up. if every house was fed by a transformer that didn't have the primary bonded to the secondary you would have every house isolated from the next and also from earth an little relay tied between the neutral and ground could trip any breaker and shut that breaker off in case of a ground out since the ocp would now be only looking for shorts between hot and neutral. and also lighting does not want to go to any electrical system it's just trying to get to earth in the shortest way possible. this is why it hits our electrical system most of the time now, because we ground it so why are we giving it a shorter way through our house and not directing it around the house by installing a better grounding system for it to hit. essentially a shorter path to ground this would protect our electronics better too. and in the long run it would save allot of money down the road.
I had seen in a post by an electrician that the ship that he was on, had an ungrounded electrical system on it to prevent shock hazards and electrolysis if the government does this on there ships and thinks it's a good practice then why we cant evolve it in to our power grids and even in to the residential electric
