HOW DO I: 120V Single Phase --> 120/240V Split Phase ??

I need to go from 120V Single Phase (either 15A or 30A depending on the source), to 120/240V Split Phase. My inverter charger has both L1 and L2 available so I'm assuming L2 isn't optional.


I'm assuming a single AutoTransformer will step up 120V single phase into 240V single phase, not split phase....but if I'm wrong, then all my problems are solved!


My questions are:


- can a second autotransformer turn 240V Single Phase into 120/240 Split Phase?


- can a single AutoTransformer be modified to go straight from 120V single to 120/240 split?


- is there another device I should be looking at entirely?


Thanks community! I don't know why this specific answer is so hard to find.

I don't own one yet, but I'm eyeing the Victron 100A AutoTransformer
