Abstract
A method and an apparatus for starting an explosion proof heater. A first step involves providing a portable generator, a transformer transforming a primary output voltage of the portable generator to a secondary output voltage suitable for starting the explosion proof heater, and power cables. A second step involves positioning the portable generator remotely from the explosion proof heater. A third step involves transforming the primary output voltage of the portable generator to the secondary output voltage with the transformer. A fourth step involves passing the secondary output voltage through the power cables from the transformer to the explosion proof heater until the explosion proof heater is capable of sustained operation without the secondary output voltage.
