LAA first off if ALL ?? his equipment is ONLY single phase (you sure), sure he can use a single phase Generator WELL DUH Often times larger AC units are either three phase (preferred and more efficient) or at the minimum 240 volt single phase BUT IM TAKING YOU AT YOUR WORD HIS IS ALL SINGLE PHASE ????????
Is the generator you mentioned a 120/240 Volt Single Phase Three Wire (I would assume) ????????????????
That being said, subject to how a three phase generator is configured (like say its 208Y 120 Volt Three Phase Four Wire) such could provide him with three legs of 120 VAV Line to Neutral which is a good balance and efficient generator use. Also some (not all) three phase units can run on EITHER 208 or 240 and my example ONLY has 208 three phase.
You ask "why would he need a 3 phase to only wind up stepping it down"
Its not necessarily so its "stepped" down, as noted above perhaps a three phase service is providing THREE LEGS OF 120, that's NOT stepping it down its ONLY providing three legs of 120 VAC Line to Neutral if the service is 208Y 120 Volt Three Phase Four Wire
Sooooooooooo if ALL he requires in single phase, THE GENNY YOU MENTIONED WILL WORK. If he needs three phase it WILL NOT WORK.
I need to know more to better answer the question

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Deere Departed Friend - by Dave Gohl. Have you ever had to part with a dear friend? It's not easy. If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
