Victron Filax

The Filax has been designed to switch sensitive loads, such as computers or modern entertainment equipment from one AC source to another. The priority source typically is the mains, a generator or shore power. The alternate source typically is an inverter. With its switching time of less than 20 ms sensitive loads will continue to operate without disruption. The Filax is not intended to supply high power household equipment like washing machines or electric motors. Because it is a fast switch, the Filax will transfer the load to the alternate source even in case of short voltage dips(4 to 12 ms) or unstable frequency. Operating the Filax with a generator can therefore result in transfer of the load to the alternate source whenever a sudden load variation occurs. The feed through switch in the Multi/MultiPlus is equally fast. We therefore recommend to use a Multi or MultiPlus instead of an inverter and a Filax whenever the load exceeds 700 W / 800 VA.
