Every question on this is basically the opposite of my question. e.g. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/2...an-inverter-and-us-split-phase-devices.60957/
I understand split phase to 230v 50hz is different as some devices in USA use 120v internally and 240v to run the motor. and the insulation internally may only be 120v blah blah
For example some electronics boards internally require a 120v so they'll be using the neutral line and a 120v line to run, and the 2 +-120v lines for ~240v to run the bigger part.. motors etc
Now to my question
I'm looking for "split phase" low wattage pumps and aeration and having an issue finding what I need. However there are plenty of low wattage 230v EU/UK pumps available, the voltage different shouldn't really matter, the 50hz vs 60hz may matter
Is there anything to really look out for or will these actually work?
I'd just be installing a UK plug or an EU plug and connect it to the 2 splits
should be able to setup a NEMA 6-15P plug and then use adapters like this
