America 208 volts ?
(OP)
hi
we have a 230v 50hz load, around 5A load. Single phase motor / pump (some electronics, controls, 24 v dc. too )
our device needs to go to show in america where i am told the supply is 208 v 60 hz
is there a UK device/solution/converter, or , transformer supplier, that you can recommend to give us 230v ?
thanks

If this is for a specific trade show, check to see if 240 V or 208 V is available. But it will be 60 Hz. You can always bring your own generator along.

But there are other issues.

You should bring a wired power socket to be connected to the power source output terminals.
This approach skips all the other complications. All approaches have risk of single point failures. In this case, you should probably rent two; primary and a spare.
I'll try to find a brand name...

My search terms were: 50Hz power source
Another approach would be to track down a Test Equipment Rental house and ask them what they have avaiable. Don't cut the current too close. If you actually need 5A, get one that can provide 7 to 10A (risk reduction, pump startup, cautious approach).

RE: America 208 volts ?
thanks for all replies,
we are going to make our own 120/230v transformer box with suitable MCBs to account fro start up current.
Fully take on board the v/hz issue.
VE1BLL, thanks have book marked that device/supplier
other ideas great, unfortunately we dont have the time to swap out motor for 3 phase one,
we do have some comfort , that the USA vendor has apparently connect our kit to their supply, and feedback is, all ran ok.
But, I dont know how long the lift was run for at their premises
