Default [EVDL] elcon charger ac connection question

Hey guys,

When I hook up my Elcon charge to 220V, I use the 2 hots and neutral, correct?
The ground from the household outlet will not be used. Sound good?

thanks,
-ben

Always use ground. Neutral is not considered ground.


Sincerely,

What kind of household outlet are you using? Ideally, the charger should have 4 wires coming out of it:
2 hots
1 neutral (this is used for running 120v accessories -- most chargers don't use this)
1 ground

As others said, if it has 3 wires coming out of the charger, then it is 2 hots and a ground. But, if you have 4 wires coming out, you need to wire all 4. I'm not sure what the elcon does.
