New battery charger keeps tripping house breaker?

[Spoolx]

So I just got the yewy charger and now after a few minutes it trips my house breaker.. it’s a 15 amp.

The charger is 48v and 20 amps... but what I remember from ohms law would mean that it’s considerably less amps at 120v.. but not sure if it makes a difference going from ac to dc

Anyone have similar issues?

It does matter. What does the tag say on the charger for the primary side?

I ~believe we had other members with this problem twice before and each time it was a 15a circuit and when moved to a 20a it worked fine.

Remember, most all your electrical circuits have many other areas, rooms, outlets, lights, etc. that could be on that very same circuit.....

Just says 120volts, no amp rating

This is a dedicated workbench with nothing else plugged in except one of those small harbor freight trickle chargers.

Send me a link to the exact charger you bought

Try a 20a circuit and pretty sure it will not trip anymore... ALL of my outlets are on 20a circuits and my lighting is on 15a. All of my chargers connect to 20a circuits and this same issue has came up before with the Yewey charger.

Unless you have multi-phase power (I think unlikely, but I'm not sure about the USA) then the circuit that provides power to the workbench will not only go to that workbench but to other rooms in the house to run the fridge etc. Make sure you don't have freezers, dishwashers, clothes washing machines, clothes driers, air-conditioners etc running at the same time and you might be OK.

I ran the circuit so I know it’s dedicated...
I am contemplating just swapping the breaker but I don’t remember what wire size I ran

I have the same charger and have no issues on a 15A outlet. That is a 1200W charger which will draw about 10A at the plug. You have something else on that same circuit/breaker that is drawing a significant load. When the breaker trips, see what else loses power that draws some amps and move to another circuit if possible. HTH

That's exactly why you shouldn't just simply upsize a breaker like some are suggesting. Need to know what size wire you ran so that you do not burn it up.
