60hz to 50hz Conversion
(OP)
I am looking for a source to find a converter that will convert 220v 60hz (american) to 220v 50hz (european).

Although not inexpensive, there are devices like: http://www.aseapower.com/products.htm

230VAC output inverter can do the job.
Voltage may be adjusted for given frequency by programming the parameters.
Boosts should be disabled.
You can find inverters under 1HP for $200US and even lower.

Quite, PWM would kill almost any load except incandescent lamps an motors. But take a look at www.nfodrives.se they do produce a frequency inverter with completely clean sine-wave output. No filters involved and efficiency is good. There is one problem, though, they can not deliver more than 11 kW output.

Of course, more details are necessary for final decision.

Generally they have true AC power output stages you can program for a specific voltage and frequency. The inputs can be 110/220V 50/60 Hz

and used a 5kw gas generator, with the speed reduced. We changed a governor spring and tweeked it for 60Hz. It was quite stable, the voltage was close but since the load was light enough there was no serious sag...Just a thought
