@Will just did a youtube on burning up the AC Charger on one of the Eco Flows and it's likely because he did the 'floating ground' to get Tesla Charging to work.
I understand the neutral/ground bonding at a home's main panel but not at subpanels - have wired things to respect this at my own home.
I get from the video that the AC Charger neutral-ground-bond -> Eco Internal Charger/Inverter -> Tesla is not carried thru the Charger/Inverter and is why it's not available to make the Tesla plug/charger work. And I get that doing a floating ground could damage the Eco Flow's Charger/Inverter electronics.
So... I'm wondering would it be possible to use an isolation transformer ( https://www.grainger.com/category/e...-supplies/transformers/isolation-transformers ) between the Eco 240v output and the Tesla Plug and do that floating ground/netural on the Tesla side? This would isolate the Eco Flow from damage? Would this be safe? Just curious....
