Mg Electronics mgt598 Signaling Transformer 30VA

Product Description

The MG ELECTRONICS mgt598 is a Class II signaling transformer rated at 30VA with selectable output voltages of 8, 16, and 24 volts AC. It is designed for low-voltage signaling applications in residential and light commercial installations. The transformer steps down standard line voltage to safe, code-compliant output levels, making it a practical component in door chime, access control, and alarm signaling circuits. Licensed electricians and alarm technicians are the typical installers. The multi-tap output configuration gives a single unit the flexibility to serve several common signaling voltages without requiring separate transformers for each application.

The mgt598 suits installations where a UL-listed Class II power source is required by code. Common applications include doorbell and chime systems, fire alarm signaling panels, and low-voltage access control wiring in residential and small commercial buildings. The multi-tap design allows the installer to select the correct output voltage at the time of installation, reducing inventory requirements for service technicians carrying a single transformer to cover multiple job types.

Key Features

• Class II rated output for code-compliant low-voltage signaling circuits
• 30VA capacity supports a range of signaling loads
• Selectable output: 8, 16, or 24 volts AC via multi-tap configuration
• Single unit covers multiple common signaling voltage requirements
• Designed for residential and light commercial signaling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation transformer for Class II low-voltage signaling systems requiring 8, 16, or 24 volt AC outputs at up to 30VA.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 725 governing Class II circuit wiring. Disconnect and lock out line-voltage power at the breaker before making any wiring connections. Verify the correct output tap is selected to match the load requirements before energizing the transformer. Do not exceed the 30VA rated output capacity of the unit.
