Filax-2: the ultra-fast transfer switch
The Filax was developed with the aim of switching important or sensitive loads such as computers, industrial control units or modern consumer electronics from one AC power source to another. The main power source is typically the mains supply, a generator or a shore connection. An inverter is usually used as an alternative source. With its switching time of less than 20 milliseconds, even sensitive loads continue to operate without interruption. The Filax is not designed to supply household appliances with high power consumption, such as washing machines or electric motors.
Gap switching function
The Filax is a transfer switch with a bridging (non-bridging) switching function. The maximum time for switching loads is 16 ms. The load is normally supplied via the main power source and is switched to the alternative source in the following cases
in the following cases:
- The voltage of the main power source falls below the threshold value.
- The frequency of the main power source falls below the low frequency threshold or exceeds the high frequency threshold.
Switching back from the alternative power source to the main power source takes place as soon as the voltage and frequency values of the main power source are within the limit values specified for switching back for 30 seconds.
