Am I overloading this electrical transformer?

I am powering a lighting system with a mixture of SCR dimmers and HID lamps. I am pulling approx 285 amps/leg at 120/208V through a 150 kVA transformer. The 120/208V service coming from that transformer is indicated to be 400A/leg, but it seems to get pretty hot at 285A.
