Method to obtain 415V from 240V supply

We have some equipment for testing which is fitted with a 415V transformer and is usually connected across 2 phases of a 3-phase supply. The secondaries provide various output voltages such as 10.5V, 11V, 17V and 24V.

We only have a 1-ph 240V supply and of course if the transformer had only a single output we could have perhaps temporarily substituted the transformer but unfortunately we need its mutliple output voltages.

Is there a method we can use to connect the transformer indirectly to our 240V supply so we can do some off-site fault finding on the electronic boards which the various secondaries on the transformer supply?

Voltampere requirements are not stated, but you may be able to use a 480-240V transformer with a 240V powerstat.

Is this a US location making export equipment? Is testing the 415V assembly on 60Hz OK? 50Hz is used in many areas with 415V distribution.
