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.
