Space-Saver 3™ is a three-phase pad-mounted transformer housed in a minimum profile enclosure. It is designed for applications requiring three-phase service in a small, unobtrusive package and is the ideal choice for small commercial loads. The design is easier to handle, install and maintain. Its removable flip-up hood allows easy access to the terminal compartment.
Howard Industries manufactures a complete line of transformers, all designed with increased margins of safety and reliability. Contact your distributor or factory representative for availability of other kVA sizes, voltage ratings, features, accessories and design standards not listed.
