Details

The Victron Energy Filax 2 Transfer Switch CE 230V/50Hz-240V/60Hz, with EAN 8719076025672, is an advanced ultra-fast automatic transfer switch specifically engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment by ensuring a seamless transition between two AC power sources. This high-performance device is designed to switch critical loads such as computers, industrial control systems, and modern entertainment equipment from a priority source, typically the grid or a generator, to an alternate source like an inverter in the event of a power failure or voltage fluctuation. With a remarkably fast switching time of less than 16 milliseconds, the Filax 2 ensures that even the most delicate microprocessor-based devices continue to operate without disruption, data loss, or system resets. The unit operates as an open transition or break-before-make switch to prevent the hazardous simultaneous connection of two AC sources, providing a safe and reliable power management solution for maritime, automotive, and off-grid applications. It features a smart reverse transfer mechanism that incorporates a 30-second delay to verify the stability of the priority source before switching back, which prevents rapid toggling during intermittent power faults. Housed in a robust ABS enclosure with an IP65 protection rating, the Filax 2 is built to withstand demanding environments and includes integrated LED indicators for real-time status monitoring of the priority source, alternate source, and fault conditions. While it is ideal for sensitive digital loads up to 16 Amps, it is important to note that the Filax 2 is not intended for high-power household appliances with high start-up surges like washing machines or electric motors. Its compact design measuring 120 x 255 x 75 mm and weighing only 0.8 kg makes it easy to install in tight utility spaces, providing an essential layer of power security for professional and leisure energy systems.
