   Ballast fluorescent causes circuit break

   I have an old ballast fluorescent (3 foot tube), and when it's on (even with   
   the tube removed), the circuit breaker in the fusebox (MCB) buzzes loudly.    
   I've put my lighting onto the computer's UPS, and now that buzzes too.  How   
   can a ballast cause this?   
      
   --   
   Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point   
   to their crotch when asking where the bathroom is?
