tx is marked 2A max per secondary winding.. I would just check the 0V tag on each secondary is actually just a CT and not connected to frame/core.
working on basic principles (step down/up etc) 3A on the mains side is fine.. allows a (zero loss assumed) a nice 6A available out the other side
I also was taught to work "off ground" in the workshop.. test gear all properly earthed and chassis of whatever on test also to real earth.. power to UUT through isolating tx. Just makes it safe in respect of anything you might grab by accident... and as always the old roadies "left hand rule".. stick it in your back pocket if unsure.
