and NO a cage will not help the long wires get the volts/amp/flow into the transformers really can't shield wires cross country
better quick trip out disconnects for a once in many lifetimes events at very high cost and a potential problem site also if it can trip will it at the wrong point load ect

The lines themselves are SUPPOSED to already have some sort of surge protection. They were gonna do that after the east-coast blackout 20 years ago.
