If you can produce 240 volts single phase with a generator set, what you can use is an auto-transformer that has a tap at 120 volts. These are actually common (much more common overseas, where every electrical store always has them) and solve the problem nicely. If you keep your two legs...

Two things... First I wired my transfer switch (with does six circuits) to be three phase. Was easy to do, and solves the problem(s) of compatibility. Second, an auto-transformer, used in boost mode needs only be rated for the difference in the power not the entire load. So generally an...

BTW, there is a way to get a neutral without modifying the gen set, using an auto-transformer. I can research what is needed and post something if anyone is interested, however, the cost of such a transformer (if new) would be about what the generator costs. Found surplus it would be much less!
