Victron Filax 2 Transfer Switch: Ultra-Fast Power Switching for Sensitive Electronics

Seamless Power Transition for Critical Applications

The Victron Filax 2 is an advanced, ultra-fast AC transfer switch designed for critical and sensitive electronic loads. It ensures an uninterrupted power supply by swiftly switching between two AC sources—typically the grid, generator, or shore power as the primary, and inverter as the secondary. With a switching time under 20 milliseconds, it ensures seamless operation for devices such as:

  • Computers and industrial controls
  • Medical and laboratory equipment
  • Audio-visual and modern entertainment systems

Important: The Filax 2 is not intended for high-power appliances like washing machines or electric motors.

Key Features & Functional Benefits

Ultra-Fast Open Transition Switching

  • Open transition design (break before make) ensures electrical isolation between sources.
  • Transfers load in under 16 milliseconds, preserving stability for sensitive devices.
  • Automatically reverts back to the primary source after 30 seconds of stable operation.

Intelligent Source Monitoring

  • Actively monitors voltage and frequency thresholds.
  • Instantly switches if:
    • Voltage from the primary source dips below preset thresholds.
    • Frequency falls below or exceeds the allowable range.

Reliable & Easy Installation

  • Pre-configured for both 50Hz (default) and 60Hz (jumper set) systems.
  • Compact design for dry, well-ventilated installations.
  • Suitable for systems with loads below 850W (ensure wire bridges are removed).
  • Requires input protection ≤16A for both sources.

Applications

Perfectly suited for maintaining uptime and safety across a variety of installations:

  • Caravans & RVs: Keep sensitive electronics running flawlessly while switching between campsite power and onboard inverter.
  • Marine Vessels: Seamlessly toggle between shore and onboard power sources without disrupting navigation or communication systems.
  • Tiny Homes & Off-Grid Systems: Preserve performance of electronics during solar-battery-generator transitions.
  • Industrial Control Panels: Ensure PLCs and critical control systems remain online during grid fluctuations.

Take Command of Your Power Reliability

Don’t compromise when it comes to powering your most critical loads. The Victron Filax 2 delivers peace of mind with fast, intelligent switching for uninterrupted performance.

Upgrade your vehicle or system now to be safe, stable, and always online—no matter where the power comes from.

Off-Grid and Backup

The presence of a functional electricity grid is not always as obvious as it would seem to be. An insufficient infrastructure is often the cause for an unreliable grid. Things become even more difficult when there is no grid at all. And yet you are in need of a reliable electricity supply. A local and properly functioning system is the only answer at this point. Victron Energy offers you such an answer. We are proud to offer you our modern translation for freedom and independence. Energy, Anytime, Anywhere

Marine

Whether you’re going on a short fishing trip or planning to sail across the ocean, you’ll need reliable power to enjoy your adventure to the fullest. But at Victron we believe reliability isn’t enough. We believe in Optimal Energy instead. In our view, a boat needs an intelligent power grid that adapts to any challenges you may encounter. With unparalleled reliability, without effort and at great value for money. That’s what we call Optimal Energy.

Energy Storage

As more solar and wind power comes on line, it becomes increasingly difficult and expensive, to ensure stability of the grid. Intermediate energy storage is therefore rapidly becoming an essential tool to keep power fluctuations on the grid within manageable limits. Moreover, as feed-in tariffs are decreasing, the business case for a home energy storage system that increases self-consumption becomes more solid every day. Intermediate energy storage increases self-consumption of harvested solar and/or wind power. The natural next step is 100% self-consumption and independence from the grid.
