We have moved in to ( and are still moving) our new place, and my work shop was set up with 240V coming in, but it had a 15amp and a 20amp breaker, not ganged together to supply power for the shop. So I am charging some stuff up with the PFC Charger and one of the breakers pops. I am out in the yard working and I hear the charger cycling up and down and turn off the charger and check the breaker and, yes, one is popped. Later, I discovered one of my drill chargers wasn't working. And I realized when the one leg popped, the charger probably pushed current through what ever was plugged into the other leg and probably over voltaged my poor, little drill charger.. luckily it wasn't from my NEW drill. ( one more thing to fix now !)... But this is something to keep in mind when plugging in your charger.... Making sure your breaker will shut down BOTH legs if it is tripped. This, of course, would be the problem with taking power from 2 120V outlets that are not on a ( Ganged) breaker.
