How do you ground a ballast?????

["Robert NG" <97ngrobe at scar_utoronto.ca>]

I recently went to a hardware store and bought an electronic instant start
ballast for two T-12, 24inch bulbs and it saids the ballast must be
installed at least 0.5inches away from the lights or something?

And when i read some other post, many people mount the ballast in the
cabinet, how can this be, or is this not really necessary?

And if this is necessary wouldnt it be dangerous to mount inside the hood,
where the light bulbs are?

One other question, how do you connect an outlet plug to a ballast, do you
need one with the grounding third prong as well or is the two prong fine?

                                       THANKS
