Problem with MH starting
I have a new set up, electronic ballast etc, when my MH's turn on there is a ripping sound, you know that electrical sound that is more like fabric ripping. Would a poor ground be a likely reason for this or should I pull apart all the wire connections and redo them.... all 15 or so...I have the light fixture grounded to the ballast.... ideas??

Wow, what an overwhelming response... lol, anyway Yes a poor ground can cause the problems I described. I found that the grounding screw on my ballast was completely stripped inside the ballast box. I found this out when I started it up and saw a little spark travel around the ground. I ended up filing off some of the paint/plastic coating on the feet and used a couple washers and a longer screw and put the ground on the screws that hold the ballast onto the canopy.
