Filax 2

2. Introduction

In this section:

The Filax is an ultra-fast AC transfer switch. It ensures that a sensitive or critical load, such as computers or mission critical equipment, is always powered, either from the priority source or from an alternate source.

If the priority source has failed, or is outside voltage or frequency specification, the Filax will transfer the load from the priority source to an alternate source. The transfer time is less than 16 milliseconds, so that the load is always powered and continues operation without disruption.

Once the priority source has been restored and is within specification for at least 30 seconds, the Filax will transfer the load back from the alternate source to the priority source. The transfer time is again less than 16 milliseconds, so that the load continues operation without disruption.

The priority source is typically the grid or a generator and the alternate source is typically an inverter or an inverter/charger.

The Filax is an open transition (break before make) transfer switch. It can be configured for use in either 50 Hz or 60 Hz systems.

The Filax is available in 2 models:

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

  • Filax 2 Transfer Switch CE 110V/50Hz-120V/60Hz

Notice

The Filax is not designed to supply high power equipment or equipment with a high current surge, like electric motors, washing machines etc.
