You can damage the topswitch for either too much DRAIN current or too much DRAIN to SOURCE voltage.   The first thing to do is to review your design.  Where did you get the transformer from?  If you designed your own transformer,  did you use PI expert to design it?    Please post your schematic and your transformer design in PI expert format.
