        Subject:        generating 50Hz power in the US

             We want to do ongoing testing of an ITE product (here in
the US) on 220 VAC 
             50Hz power to simulate the European environment to make
sure our power 
             supply vendor is doing his job.  In this esteemed group's
experience, what 
             is best (i.e easiest, cheapest, most reliable) way to set
this up.  I have 
             an electrician describing scenarios of a 60Hz electric
motor mechanically 
             driving a 50Hz generator.  In this age of high power solid
state 
             electronics, I gotta believe there's a better way.   Please
keep answers 
             simple as I am only a lowly mechanical engineer (analogies
to water running 
             through pipes always is always big help to me).  At 120VAC
our products 
             pull 6 amps peak at start up and only 3 amps running.  I
would never test 
             more than 4 products at a time. 
             
             Thanks in advance for the usually invaluable help that I
get from this 
             group.
