Re: ballast leaking electricity?

The thing is, the ballast tray on this model is a box of spaghetti that would put mama Corleone's Sunday feast to shame, but there is no way a ballast wire could be pinched under a ballast, or between a ballast and the frame of the tray. All the wires are connected to a bus of blade connectors on the sidewall of the tray. Could there be some arcing from time to time between the blades of the bus that is transferring to the frame of the tray, which shares a ground with the bench and canopy?
