Victron Filax 2 Transfer Switch CE 230V/50Hz-240V/60Hz

Description

The Victron Energy Filax 2 Transfer Switch is a high-speed automatic transfer switch designed to provide uninterrupted power to sensitive electrical and electronic equipment. It allows a load to be automatically switched between two AC power sources, making it ideal for systems where maintaining a reliable power supply is essential.

The Filax 2 is particularly suited for applications using an inverter or UPS as a backup power source, together with a primary AC source such as utility power or a generator. Under normal conditions, the load is supplied by the priority AC source. If that source becomes unavailable or falls outside the required operating range, the Filax 2 rapidly transfers the load to the alternate source.

With a maximum transfer time of 16 milliseconds, the Filax 2 is designed to minimize interruptions and help sensitive equipment continue operating without noticeable downtime. Once the priority source becomes available again, the unit automatically switches the load back to the preferred source.

The Filax 2 operates with 230V/50Hz to 240V/60Hz AC power and is capable of handling loads up to 16A. Its compact design makes it suitable for installation in a variety of power backup and energy-system applications.

How the Filax 2 Works

The Filax 2 continuously monitors the available AC sources and keeps the load connected to the designated priority source during normal operation. When the priority source becomes unavailable, the Filax 2 quickly transfers the load to the alternate AC source.

When the priority source returns and is within the required operating conditions, the Filax 2 automatically transfers the load back. This automatic operation helps reduce the need for manual intervention while maintaining a reliable power supply for connected equipment.
