Description
xFilax 2 Transfer Switch CE 110V/50Hz – 120V/60Hz
The Victron Filax 2 is an automatic transfer switch designed for systems that require fast, reliable switching between two AC sources. It is suited to off-grid, marine, and backup power installations where uninterrupted supply to connected loads is a priority. The Filax 2 supports both 110V/50Hz and 120V/60Hz input configurations, making it appropriate for use across a range of international voltage standards.
Key Features
- Automatic transfer switching between two AC sources with no manual intervention required.
- Compatible with 110V/50Hz and 120V/60Hz supply voltages, covering a broad range of international standards.
- CE certified, confirming compliance with applicable European safety and electromagnetic compatibility directives.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.8 kg, suitable for installation in confined spaces such as marine panels or small off-grid enclosures.
- Fast transfer response minimises supply interruption to connected loads when switching between sources.
- Designed for use with Victron inverter/chargers and compatible with a wide range of AC backup configurations.
Product Overview
The Filax 2 monitors the primary AC source continuously. When that source fails or falls outside acceptable parameters, the unit switches the load to the secondary source automatically. The transfer time is fast enough to protect sensitive equipment that cannot tolerate extended supply interruptions.
The dual voltage rating (110V/50Hz and 120V/60Hz) means the Filax 2 can be deployed in systems built to North American or other international standards, as well as in mixed-voltage environments. This makes it a practical choice for marine vessels, mobile installations, and off-grid sites that may connect to different shore power or generator supplies depending on location.
At 0.8 kg, the unit is straightforward to mount within an existing distribution panel or enclosure. Its CE marking confirms it has been assessed against relevant European directives, which is relevant for installations within the EU and UK where compliance documentation is required.

Installation Notes
The Filax 2 involves connections to live AC sources and should be installed by a qualified electrician familiar with the relevant wiring regulations. In the UK, this means compliance with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). For any installation connected to a generator or inverter feeding critical loads, verify that all upstream protection (fusing and isolation) is correctly rated. This unit is rated for 110V/50Hz and 120V/60Hz supplies; do not connect it to 230V/50Hz mains without confirming compatibility with Victron's published specifications for the appropriate variant.
