Exide Depth Chargers

I'm having a problem with several newer Exide SCR chargers. They blow input ( AC ) fuses. I've been through the normal diagnosis, correct fuse rating, correct input voltage and settings, tested the line voltage ( 480v 3ph ) and monitered all 3 legs for variences. Anyone else having issues?
