Victron Energy 5000 VA 120 V MultiPlus-II Inverter/Charger

The MultiPlus-II combines the functions of the MultiPlus and the MultiGrid. It has all the features of the MultiPlus, plus an external current transformer option to implement PowerControl and PowerAssist and to optimize self-consumption with external current sensing (max. 32A). It also has all the features of the MultiGrid with built-in anti-islanding and an increasingly long list of country approvals.

Features

• PowerAssist - The MultiPlus-II will prevent overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. First, battery charging will automatically be reduced when otherwise an overload would occur. The second level will boost the output of a generator or shore side supply with power taken from the battery
• ESS: Energy Storage Systems - The MultiPlus-II is the key component in a Victron ESS system, providing the flexibility to combine with MPPT Solar Chargers or Grid-tie PV Inverters. For examples and more detailed information see the ESS (Energy Storage System) manual
• Uninterrupted AC power (UPS function) - In the event of a grid failure, or when shore or generator power is disconnected, the inverter within the Multi is automatically activated and takes over the supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption
• Remote Monitoring and Control - When coupled with a GX device (e.g. Cerbo GX) you can monitor and control your Multi and system or systems' locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world, using the free VRM app and free VRM portal website. Access can be from a phone, tablet, laptop or PC for multiple operating systems. There is no end to the level of control, from adjusting your Multi to auto starting a backupgenerator and more
• A MultiPlus with ESS (Energy Storage System) functionality - The MultiPlus-II is a multifunctional inverter/charger with all the features of the MultiPlus, plus an external current sensor option which extends the PowerControl and PowerAssist function to 100A
• PowerControl and PowerAssist - Boosting the capacity of the grid or a generator - A maximum grid or generator current can be set. The MultiPlus-II will then take account of other AC loads and use whatever is extra for battery charging, thus preventing the generator or grid from being overloaded (PowerControl function). PowerAssist takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension. Where peak power is so often required only for a limited period, the MultiPlus-II will compensate insufficient generator, shore or grid power with 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-II can be used in off grid as well as grid connected PV and other alternative energy systems. It is compatible with both solar charger controllers and grid-tie inverters
• Two AC Outputs - The main output has no break functionality. The MultiPlus-II 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-II. Loads that should not discharge the battery, like a water heater for example, can be connected to this output
• Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel, split phase and three phase operation - Up to 6 Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Six 48/3000/35 units, for example, will provide 15 kW/18 kVA output power with 210 Amps charging capacity. In addition to parallel connection, two units of the same model can be connected for a 240V split phase output, and 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 per phase
• On-site system configuring, monitoring and control - Settings can be changed in a matter of minutes with VEConfigure software (computer or laptop and MK3-USB interface needed). Several monitoring and control options are available: Color Control GX, Venus GX, Octo GX, CANvu GX, laptop, computer, Bluetooth (with the optional VE.Bus Smart dongle), Battery Monitor, Digital Multi Control Panel
• Remote configuring and monitoring - Install a Color Control GX or other GX product to connect to the internet. Operational data can be stored and displayed on our VRM (Victron Remote Management) website, free of charge. When connected to the internet, systems can be accessed remotely, and settings can be changed
• Standard marine, mobile or off-grid application - Loads that should shut down when AC input power is not available can be connected to a second output (not shown). These loads will be taken into account by the PowerControl and PowerAssist function in order to limit AC input current to a safe value when AC power is available
• Grid parallel topology with MPPT solar charge controller - The MultiPlus-II will use data from the external AC current sensor (must be ordered separately) or power meter to optimize selfconsumption and, if required, to prevent grid feed. In case of a power outage, the MultiPlus-II will continue to supply the critical loads
• GX Touch 50 and Cerbo GX - Provides intuitive system control and monitoring Besides system monitoring and control the Cerbo GX enables access to our free remote monitoring website: the VRM Online Portal
• VRM Portal - Our free remote monitoring website (VRM) will display all your system data in a comprehensive graphical format. System settings can be changed remotely via the portal. Alarms can be received by email
• VRM app - Monitor and manage your Victron Energy system from your smart phone and tablet. Available for both iOS and Android
• VE.Bus Smart Dongle - Measures battery voltage and temperature and allows monitoring and control with a smart phone or other Bluetooth enabled device
• Current sensor 100A:50mA - To implement PowerControl and PowerAssist and to optimize self-consumption with external current sensing. Maximum current: 100A
• Digital Multi Control Panel - A convenient and low-cost solution for remote monitoring, with a rotary knob to set PowerControl and PowerAssist levels
• VE.Bus communication port - For parallel, split phase and three phase operation
