Forklift. Charger

Anyone connected a 3 phase, 240 volt charger to a MEP006A?

Not a charger, but 10 Billion other things that were three phase.

Been reading about the correct way to wire it. Little confused about the delta or wye connection. How do you know the difference when looking at the wiring?

If you are going to pour that much diesel into the genset to charge the forklift you really out to look for a diesel or propane forklift. LOL. Diesel around here is over 5.00 a gallon now.

It's an old Yale charger. 3YTN18-775.

I hear ya. Just want to charge it, the sell it and the charger.

That is not a hook up problem, Its a wiring problem behind the TB1. You would have to change the wires around behind TB1.

Lets see if @Scoobyshep is on line.

I'll be home in about an hour I can look a little deeper into it then

That being said most times three phase industrial equipment are looking for a wye source

looks like its made for 208, 240, and 480. best bet here it to set it for 208

I'll give that a try, I moved TB6 to match for 240 because the charger is set for 240 according to the sticker inside. I wish I had a wiring diagram or a manual for the charger but I can't find either online.
Thank you for the response.
