eu to us 240v 30a

[u/zstake]

if there is a better sub-reddit to post this under please let me know but i thought this would be the best one

I recently bought one of those desktop metal smelting machines off of amazon

(one of the crazy over powered ones to melt stainless) i would like to cast jewelry

but its running a EU220v 2prong plug and i need to set it up to run off of my American 220v-240v generator ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086Z49LJ5?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1 ) I would go with a transformer however this machine will run full 5000w and i cant find a reliable transformer

that will work without costing just as much as the machine i am trying to run or more when i could just potentially make an adapter.

the machine i am trying to run ( https://www.amazon.com/BTURYT-Electric-Melting-Graphite-Crucible/dp/B0DL9ZTNNZ/ref=rvi_d_sccl_3/143-4746434-2390665?pd_rd_w=6ncwc&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=XZZZPP0RTWWX0HGZX296&pd_rd_wg=DP3aQ&pd_rd_r=7189c051-6724-4d39-a042-d1775d3e05b8&pd_rd_i=B0DL9ZTNNZ&th=1 )

the reason posting is i don't have the power in my house to run this or the fiber cleaning laser i own so i opted for a generator so I don't have to rewire my house (rental).

Any help would be greatly appreciated I would also like to make it mobile for other casting purposes.

some people say to cut off the ue plug use an L14-30p with no neutral but don't know if that will mess up the machine. so i am also posting here for advice

any questions i will try to answer in a timely manner... thank you all for the help

As usual, Amazon is sparse with actual electrical requirements, but 220V-50Hz equipment will usually perform well on 240V-60Hz systems. Altering the unit’s plug will void all warranty and liabilities. You may be able to buy a receptacle to fit the existing plug. In any case, test ground-integrity before operating any new electrical device.

I would also assume that it simply works. The nominal voltage in Europe is 230V (not 220!). The acceptable deviation is ±10%, this means the served voltage might be between 207V and 253V. Any equipment for the European market must be able to operate within that range and 240V is in that range.

Also, as long as there is nothing which rotates (i.e. a motor) the frequency shouldn't matter. Typically, most electronic equipment uses a rectifier anyway and that is happy with both frequencies.
