Victron Filax 2
The Filax switch has been developed for switching the power supply of sensitive devices such as computers, industrial control systems or modern audiovisual and entertainment equipment from a priority AC source to a second alternative source. A typical priority source is the mains, a generator or another source, e.g. a local power connection at a marina or campsite. A typical alternative source is a DC-AC inverter.
Due to the very high switching speed, which is less than 20 ms, sensitive devices and equipment will continue to operate without interruption. Filax is not intended for uninterruptible power supply of large household appliances , such as washing machines or electric motors, due to excessive starting currents.
Switching from the priority to the alternative AC source occurs when the voltage of the priority source drops below 180 V, or the frequency of the priority source drops below 45 Hz (46 Hz), or vice versa, above 60 Hz (68 Hz). Switching back to the priority source will occur no sooner than after 30 seconds, if the parameters return to acceptable values, which is a voltage of at least 188 V, a minimum frequency of 47 Hz (52 Hz) or 56 Hz (63 Hz). The values in brackets apply to a frequency of 60 Hz.
It is installed in a dry and well-ventilated place. The inputs must be protected against currents exceeding 16 A. If the total consumption of the appliances is less than 850 W, jumpers are manually removed from the Filax device.
- Maximum switching current: 16 A
