    Useful charging info for newcomers

    L21 is generally used for 3-phase 208V. It is also possible that the OP is on a 3-phase delta 240V system - I'm not really sure what receptacles are approved for those. But EVSEs *should* work with both 208V and 240V. A plug converter will work - you just take 2 of the phases to get...

If there is an imbalance - i.e. if some current is taking an unexpected path, like through a damaged...
