At least you'd have 20 minimum available amps for household loads if the Trace charger were operating at maximum ouput of 30 amps([6000 watts /120 vac] - 30 = 20 amps). You'll have to use a larger transformer for step down than the T240. Call me if you're interested in finding a source.

AEE has "Autotransformers" in NEMA 1 enclosures, 98% efficient, <0.2% no load idle loss, quiet. 2.5, 4, & 8 kw.
