Introduction
Howard Industries Mobile Power
transformers are specially designed
for use with mobile power systems
and are the ideal choice for applica-
tions requiring step-up transformation
and interconnection with an electri-
cal distribution grid. These rugged
transformers can take all the abuse
a transportable system typically
receives. They are specially designed
and equipped for the rental power
market, with many valuable features
that improve portability and increase
flexibility for use with different grid
voltages.
