Connecting the Charger to the Wall

Looking at the charger chassis where the big black cables are attached you will see

the letters AC printed next to one of the cables and this is for the incoming power for

the charger. A great feature of the Manzanita Micro PFC line of chargers is that

they are capable of operating easily from 110,120, 208, 220, 230 or 240 volts of

single phase AC power. In fact some models can even be run from DC but most

users are plugging them into an AC wall outlet of some sort. Standard PFC-30,

PFC-40 and other buck enhanced chargers must be modified to run off DC, see the

“Running Your PFC Charger on DC instead of AC” section later in this manual.

NOTE: The brass stud in the rear of newer chargers should be connected to the

vehicle chassis to ensure a solid ground connection. This stud can be seen in figure

15 which is toward the end of this manual.

Ohm’s law states that Volts x Amps = Watts of power and there are a certain

number of “Watt Hours” stored in your battery pack and available to power your

electric vehicle. Based on the V*A=Watts equation it is easy to see that more volts

or amps (or both) equates to more total watts which means more electrical power

moving, and thus faster charging.

Your Manzanita Micro PFC charger can be powered by any input voltage within the

100-240V range and there are no input voltage adjustment switches to move when

changing between outlets of different voltages. The only thing which may need
