Hi everyone. I manage a small automotive shop and we just purchased a used 36v fork truck. It came with a Exide 3ph charger. We don't have the ability to get 3 phase at the shop and on a budget. For the time being we purchased a golf cart charger that runs on 110v to charge the lift. Battery is 750ah and the charger is 21amp. I only want to use this temporarily. I have read that I can wire all the transformers using both hot legs of a 220v single phase circuit and have all the transformers connected in parallel. I've done home and automotive wiring all my life but this is quickly above me. I don't have an issue wiring it up like stated what I have an issue with is if it will work. I know that I have to switch the jumpers to the correct voltage. The previous owner had it running on 480. I attached a few pictures if it helps. I also have the service manual and wiring schematics for the charger. If this cannot be done then I have an idea on building a 60amp charger but I'll cross that road if needed later. Would love to be able to get this 100 amp charger to push something decent. I understand that it probably won't be able to output what it would on 3ph. Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
