Running 240v appliances from a 110v system

I believe the 5000 es he’s looking at is single phase 230 50hz model
It is not really suitable for use in the US if he wants to plug it in here*. Having to install additional transformers and all adds to cost and complexity.

*Plugged into a 240v Ac at 60 hz will output a 240v 60 hz.

No matter what he chooses. If he wants to output 50Hz, it can't be plugged in to 60Hz. A transformer doesn't change frequency. He will need a 60Hz charger, so that he can charge from the US grid. And a 50Hz inverter that puts out 230v, to power his existing equipment.
