multisim 11 transformer problem

Hi! New guy here!
I'm designing a power supply circuit. Here are the specifics: 230Vrms 60Hz ac source, bridge rectifier, 5, +-15, variable dc outputs (all grounded), short-circuit protection using relays, transistors to increase current output of voltage regulators to required 3A max, and a step down transformer.
I'm using a 10:1 rated virtual transformer to deliver the required 3A max current throughout the circuit. I'm not using the 10:1 power transformer because it delivers way too much current (over 1kA).
However, the rated virtual transformer's coils always break when I start the simulation. I've tried using the said transformer in a simpler circuit but it still breaks.
How can I fix this?
There are parts in my schematic that aren't finalized yet so errors are to be expected. Tips on those errors will be greatly appreciated.
