If there is the buffering impedance of a transformer between the capacitors and the ballasts, problems will be less.

A friend of mine also an Electrical Engineer told me that he has encountered a problem, the fluorescent tubes in an electronic ballast are prone to busted than ordinary ballast.

First thing is to verify that that correct ballasts are being used.
Second thing to keep in mind is that a lot of these cheap fluor. ballasts are complete junk. We have seem entire batches that had to be replaced almost as soon as they were energized. We try to stick with reputable ballast suppliers and not buy the cheapest ballast available. But YMMV of course....

thanks for the insight. we'll do check on the ballast manufacturer.
