Victron Energy MultiPlus C 12V 1200VA 50A - 16A inverter / charger

Product detailed description

MultiPlus, as the name suggests, is a combination of an inverter and charger in one elegant package. Its range of features includes a pure sine wave inverter, adaptive charging, PowerAssist technology and other features for integration into various types of systems. One AC input The MultiPlus is equipped with one AC input for connecting a distribution network or generator, for example. If two AC inputs are needed, then choose the Quattro unit. Two AC outputs MultiPlus is equipped with two AC outputs. The main AC1 output ensures an uninterrupted power supply. For example, in UPS mode, the MultiPlus will take over power to connected appliances (in less than 20 milliseconds) in the event of a mains or generator failure. The second output is only functional when the AC input (distribution network/generator) is available. Therefore, a load that would quickly drain the batteries, such as a water heater, can be connected to this output and will only be powered from the AC source (second output available on models rated 3kVA and above). Four stages of charging with an adaptive charger and two outputs for battery charging The main output provides powerful battery charging through an "adaptive charging" system. The software controls the three-stage automatic charging process to suit the condition of the battery and adds a fourth charging stage - maintenance charging. In addition to this, MultiPlus can charge a second battery using an independent charging output designed for, for example, generator starter batteries. Multiplus is designed to charge all types of lead acid, alkaline and lithium batteries. Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation Up to 6 MultiPlus units can operate in parallel to achieve higher performance. Three-phase operation Three units of the same type can be configured for three-phase operation. But that's not all: up to 6 sets of three units can be connected in parallel to obtain up to 75 kW / 90 kVA inverter power and 2000A charging capacity. Unique features of the PowerAssist function MultiPlus prevents overloading of a power-limited AC source, e.g. a current-limited power connection. Should the AC input power source be overloaded, the charging current to the battery will be automatically reduced in the first instance. Secondly, the output AC current is then boosted by the current drawn from the battery. Solar energy AC power can be available even in the event of a grid failure. MuliPlus can be used in off-grid (islanded) systems as well as in PV systems connected to the distribution grid. The MultiPlus is not equipped with an input for the PV array, but is designed to work with MPPT controllers (DC coupling systems) or grid-tied inverters (AC coupling systems). System configuration - In the case of a stand-alone e.g. UPS installation, the setup can be easily done in a few minutes using the DIP switches. - Parallel and three-phase applications can be configured using the VE.Bus Quick Configure software and the VE.Bus System Configurator software. - Off-grid and hybrid PV installations for self-consumption, which include grid-tied inverters or MPPT solar chargers, can be configured using the Assistant (dedicated software for specific applications). - The configuration software can be downloaded free of charge from the following link (VE.Configure 3): https://www.victronenergy.com/support-and-downloads/software For the above software you will need a PC communication interface MK3-USB Remote monitoring and system configuration Monitor and control your system locally (LAN) or remotely via the Internet from anywhere in the world using the free VRM application and the free VRM portal. https://vrm.victronenergy.com/landingpage Access can be from tele:phone, tablet, laptop or PC for different operating systems. There is no end to the level of control, using one of the following control panels you can monitor and configure the system from anywhere in the world. MultiPlus offers many variants of operation and we are able to offer solutions to a range of user requirements. Here are the most common operating modes to give you an idea: ESS mode - Energy Storage System This mode is only for photovoltaic installations with an available distribution network (DS), a requirement to maximise the use of the solar energy produced in combination with a conventional DS and the possibility of storing excess energy in batteries.
