It sounds like Mike is looking for a power supply to provide power to test
electrical devices (not a power supply to be installed in a product).
I Interpret Mikes E-mail to be:
The power supply should be able to supply 50-60Hz (when connected to a 60Hz
supply, 3 phase supply (likely 120/208))
Single phase output variable over the range of 120-240V (Mike, I would
suggest looking for something that can provide 90-260V)
16A Max (which would give you approximately 3KVA @ 240V (3840VA to be exact)
Mike, Have you tried Elgar, Pacific Power, TestMart, or TestEquity? I have
a 1.5KVA Elgar unit that I purchased used several years ago. They are VERY
Hard to come by used (And rather expensive if purchased new) Are you set on
using something that is powered from the AC Mains, or would you be willing
to consider a Diesel Generator?

I can see why you might have difficulty finding such a device. Your
specifications are ambiguous.
Do you really mean variable frequency or the ability to operate from
either 50 or 60 Hz mains.
Ditto for variable voltage.
3000VA makes no sense in the context of 120VAC or 230VAC at 16 amps.
It is not clear what commercial benefit such a device would have (except
to separate a fool and his money) so I am skeptical you would ever find
such a device used.
