[AMRadio] Modulator testing

I'm testing a modulator running a pair of 811s, using a resistive load
in place the final amplifier. Normally both primary and secondary of
the mod transformer have HV applied, so they are at the roughly the same
DC potential above ground. To make accurate measurements using a
grounded oscilloscope, I am wondering if it would be save to ground one
side of the secondary where my resistive load is attached. Both
windings are obviously rated to withstand high voltages with respect to
the frame, but I can't find any manufacturer's name or part number on
it, and while I assume the isolation between windings would be
sufficient, I'd hate to cause a problem.
Thanks and 73,
