A neon sign transformer is not really a ballast. (It does have resistive
and inductive current limiting, though.)

15,000 V is exactly the wrong kind of thing to combine with a bucket
of water! All you'll get is sizzle!

I generally run about 30 V on my mini-EDM system, so the neon sign
transformer is 500 times too high!
