I figured you wanted to feed it 120 and make 240? If so you don't need the
center tap.

I looked at the amazon box closer, It can do 5000w, but I think it
produces 240 single wire, for European use. Not 120v *2 like US 240v.
So it probably won't work.

Not trying to insult your intelligence, but you did verify your amazon
transformer will do the wattage or actually the VA you need, right?

I got a reply back from IceQube, they said that the units are designed
for single phase only, and at 208V, the unit will be de-rated by about
25%. At +/-10% he feels it would be very close to the edge to run it at
208v.
I found a 120v->240V transformer on Amazon for <$200. I think I'll try
one of those.

I have never had a 240 anything not work on 208. 240-24=216
Most things can handle +- 10% 216 is not too far off of 208 and some 208
three phase systems run high.
That is only a 5 amp circuit. A 208 to 30 volt 5 amp transformer can be
wired in a boost config.
Or anything close. 240 to 24 or 36 would work.
Say you found a 240-24 5 amp or more transformer. It will give you 21
volts on 208.
Adding that to the 208 and you will get a boost to 229. Pretty close to
the 230 you are looking for.

I got a couple used cabinets that have IceQube IQ 4000BTU ac units. The
Label says 230V 60hz, but most of my sites have 208V 3 phase power.
Will they still work? Nothing on the IceQube site lists 208v as an
option for these units, nor does any documentation I found address
208v/230v.
Years ago we had some portable 24000 BTU Mov-N-Cool 230v units, and they
would work with 208v, but as they got older, they couldn't always start
the compressor with 208v.
