Who here knows about buck-boost converters?

My shop has 208v 3-phase. My pottery kiln is for 240v 1-phase. I have an available circuit for 208v 1-phase (2 hots and neutral). I'd like to boost voltage from that circuit to 240v, so the kiln works as it should.

Looks like I can buy a buck-boost converter 208v primary to 240v secondary, that is rated for the appropriate amperage (kiln pulls 45A, circuit is on a 60A breaker and 4 gauge wire). Converter is several hundred $ but converting the kiln elements and controller to 208v will cost more.
