The Rex CS100J-A is a 100 VA control transformer stepping down 600V primary to 120V secondary, suitable for powering control circuits in commercial and industrial applications — including motor starters, contactors, PLCs, and control panels fed from 600V systems common in Canadian electrical installations.
At 100 VA, this unit supports typical control loads such as relays, indicator lights, and small solenoids. Ensure your total connected control-circuit load does not exceed the 100 VA rating. Not intended as a power/distribution transformer — for control-circuit use only.
Mounting and enclosure requirements vary by installation; confirm your application details with us and we'll help ensure the CS100J-A is the right fit.
Yes — the CS100J-A is rated for a 600V primary, which aligns directly with the standard 600V distribution voltage used throughout Canadian commercial and industrial facilities. It steps that voltage down to a 120V secondary for safe control-circuit operation, making it well suited for Canadian code-compliant installations.
Add up the VA ratings of all devices powered by the transformer's secondary — including contactors, relays, solenoids, pilot lights, and any inrush loads. As a rule of thumb, account for the higher inrush (sealed vs. picked-up VA) of any coils on the circuit. If your total load approaches or exceeds 100 VA, you may need a larger unit such as a 150 VA or 250 VA model. Our team can help you size correctly — just share your load list.
In many cases, yes — control transformers of the same VA rating and voltage class (600V primary / 120V secondary) are often interchangeable provided the physical footprint and mounting pattern are compatible. Northern Breaker Group specializes in hard-to-find and obsolete electrical components; contact us with your existing transformer's part number and we can confirm whether the Rex CS100J-A is a suitable replacement or help source an equivalent.
