Description
Victron MulitPlus – Product description
Two AC Outputs
The main output has no break functionality. The MultiPlus takes over the supply to the
connected loads in the event of a grid failure or when shore/generator power is disconnected.
This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment
will continue to operate without disruption. The second output is live only when AC is available
on the input of the MultiPlus. Loads that should not discharge the battery, like a water heater for
example can be connected to this output (second output available on models rated at 3 kVA and
more).
Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation
Up to 6 Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Six 24/5000/120 units, for
example, will provide 25 kW / 30 kVA output power with 720 Amps charging capacity. Three
phase capability In addition to parallel connection, three units of the same model can be
configured for three phase output. But that’s not all: up to 6 sets of three units can be parallel
connected for a 75 kW / 90 kVA inverter and more than 2000 Amps charging capacity.
PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator, shore side or grid power
The MultiPlus is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the
generator or shore side supply (nearly 10 A per 5 kVA Multi at 230 VAC). With the Multi
Control Panel a maximum generator or shore current can be set. The MultiPlus will then take
account of other AC loads and use whatever is extra for charging, thus preventing the generator
or shore supply from being overloaded.
PowerAssist – Boosting the capacity of shore or generator power
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension. It allows the MultiPlus
to supplement the capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required only
for a limited period, the MultiPlus will make sure that insufficient shore or generator power is
immediately compensated for by power from the battery. When the load reduces, the spare
power is used to recharge the battery.
Solar energy: AC power available even during a grid failure
The MultiPlus can be used in off grid as well as grid connected PV and other alternative energy
systems. Loss of mains detection software is available.
System configuring
– In case of a stand-alone application, if settings have to be changed, this can be done in a
matter of minutes with a DIP switch setting procedure.
– Parallel and three phase applications can be configured with VE.Bus Quick Configure
and VE.Bus System Configurator software.
– Off grid, grid interactive and self-consumption applications, involving grid-tie inverters
and/or MPPT Solar Chargers can be configured with Assistants (dedicated software for specific
applications).
On-site Monitoring and control
Several options are available: Battery Monitor, Multi Control Panel, Color Control GX or other
GX devices, smartphone or tablet (Bluetooth Smart), laptop or computer (USB or RS232).
Remote Monitoring and control Color Control GX or other GX devices. Data can be stored and
displayed on our VRM (Victron Remote Management) website, free of charge.
Remote configuring
When connected to the Ethernet, systems with a Color Control GX or other GX device can be
accessed and settings can be changed remotely.
