No, the ferroresonant transformer is use for voltage regulation. Output voltage typically changes less that 2% for a 10% change in input voltage. That means changing the input voltage has very little effect on output voltage. Ferroresonant transformer action also has the side effect of improving the power factor, but that is not its main purpose. -- Lee A. Hart Ring the bells that still can ring 814 8th Ave. N.
