 If however you needed PFC. (you shouldn't, provided you haven't

the ballast will take a Pfc. value of it's own, then the transformer has
it's own value also.
so to truly get a perfect power factor overall you would correct the
ballast to make it appear as a purely resistive load, then do the same
for the pig (or transformer).
