Default MH Ballast Problem

Good day everyone, I hope someone can help me with this problem. I have a 250W MH lighting unit, not sure of the brand but it looks like corallife, the ballast started making noise and wasn't able to turn the light on, so I ordered a new one online and when it came in and plugged it in, my GFCI circuit tripped. So I started looking for the cause and I found that on the output plug it says 125V 13A, but on my lighting unit plug it says 125v 10A. I never new that there could be different output amps for the same wattage ballast. so does anyone know where I can get a ballast with 125v and 10A output or if there is a way to modify the new one. Thank you.
