380, 400 or 415 volt input requires optional internal transformer.

To install 127/220 out or 120/208 out, call Best Power’s Worldwide Service or the nearest Best Power office for
assistance.
4
With a step-up or step-down transformer. Use an isolation transformer with a 120/240 grounded center-tapped
neutral output. Do notuse a buck/boost transformer.
5
For 120/208 output, if the 208 volt loads can run at 240 volts, it is preferable to use 240 volts. The 120/240 volt
output combination provides greater loading flexibility.
