Re: European 220VAC/50Hz single phase

I am wondering if a software programmable split phase
true sine inverter outputting 230VAC/60Hz split phase
designed for North American power could be used in
Europe to power 220VAC/50Hz single phase assuming it
could switch to 220VAC/50Hz split phase. I guess both
wires would be live at 110VAC instead of there being a
common, is this safe/legal? :)
cheers,

Here in N. America it is referred to as 110/220 split phase and is
implemented as you say: 110 from neutral to (each) "hot", and 220 from hot to
hot. If the inverter is built with a neutral conductor as well (as built to
meet National Electrical Code specifications), it is indeed legal for use in
N. America to provide these voltages.
If all you want is the 220v, you can simply not use the neutral conductor.
This is how it is normally done in N. America. A ground (earth) should always
accompany all of these conductors when wiring, of course.
How you implement this in Europe is anyone's guess as to its legality.
Good luck.
