    Charging (green), indicates that AC power is currently applied to the vehicle. Power Fault (red), indicates that the ACS is not wired correctly. The problem can be due to improper grounding or a missing earth ground. The wiring should be examined by a qualified electrician.
  • Page 8: Installation

    Notice that L1, Neutral & Ground are labeled on each diagram. Those transformer outputs correspond to the same inputs on the ACS. Also, each of the two 3- phase diagrams shows an L2 and an L3 output, which are not used. Do not connect more than one phase of a 3-phase secondary to the ACS.
  • Page 9 ACS User’s Manual The Neutral at the service panel must be connected to earth ground somewhere in the system on any of the three connection arrangements. Ground-fault protection is not possible unless the Neutral (center-tap on the service trans- former) is connected to an earth ground. If no ground is provided by the electrical service, a grounding stake must be driven into the ground nearby, following local electrical codes.
