Temporary Power For Battery Containers

Should work with any analog AVR.

With the analog AVR sure but for example some of the gensets I have, the genset controller has an acceptable voltage range depending on mode and will alarm out, drop the load, and shut down if the output voltage is outside that range.

I have a dumb question. This looks like a big enough job where you could just spend the $3000 and buy a transfomer. Then you have a transformer when you're done. You could likely rent a transformer but unless you only need it for a week that would probably end up costing more than buying one.

I would buy a transformer when I find the right one. Any suggestions?

I'm on the wrong coast to direct you do a local vendor. A quick google turned up this:

3-Phase 480V Delta - 416 Y/ 240

This transformer is designed to convert 3-phase 480v to 3-phase 416 Y 240 to run equipment such as panels, motors, CNC machines, welders, conveyor systems, pumps, printing equipment, fabrication tools, cryptocurrency miners, datacenter equipment and other business machines. Primary Voltage: 480...

Got it. My location is still set to Maine and I don't know how to edit that but this project is in Texas. Thanks for the suggestion and I will look up for more options around here.

Another option is to 'bank' three single phase transformers. Just use 480:240V transformers and arrange the secondaries in wye configuration.
