Over volt ?

Subject: Over volt ?
Correction to the HV transformer as 150ma not 120ma. The ballast will
be at the LV side of the HV transformer.
I am getting ready to set up the resistive inductive ballast for my
next coil. It will be run thru a 120V20amp autotransformer, filters
to protect the autotransformer then a 120X208/240/277v transformer to
supply the 240/13Kv@120ma transformer. I can adjust part of the
ballast with many fine steel wires in the core of 500ft of 12ga.
My question is after I get the right amps to flow at the input line
to the transformer should I try to run a higher voltage to the
ballast to compensate for the VD of the system. I am not an
electrical engineer but it seems to me if I get VD at the ballast I
should raise the supply voltage at the low voltage transformer taps??
I hope I made my self clear.
