| Let's see..
A non-electronic ballast has "input" - isolation - then "output". The output is isolated form the input so to say.
This would be sort of like an electric motor which is connected to a generator. Then you short the wires coming out of the generator and sparks fly. But all this does to the electric motor is place a higher load on it and slow it down. And there is not a dead short on the wires feeding the electric motor.
So maybe this is the case? |
