Victron MultiPlus 20k Inverter/Charger Manual & User Guide PDF

A MultiPlus, plus ESS (Energy Storage System) functionality The MultiPlus is a multifunctional inverter/charger with all the features of the MultiPlus, plus an external current sensor option. The MultiPlus is ideally suited for professional marine, yachting, vehicle and land based off-grid applications. PowerControl and PowerAssist - Boosting the capacity of the grid or a generator A maximum grid or generator current can be set. The MultiPlus 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 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 can be used in off-grid as well as grid-connected PV and other alternative energy systems. It is compatible with both solar charge controllers and grid-tie inverters. 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. Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel and three phase operation Three units can be configured for a three-phase output. For parallel operation we recommend the external AC transfer switch. For more information see the MultiPlus-II External Transfer Switch application manual.

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: Ekrano GX, Cerbo GX, laptop, computer, Bluetooth (with the optional VE.Bus Smart dongle), Battery Monitor, Digital Multi Control Panel. Remote configuring and monitoring Install a Cerbo 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 setting can be changed.

MultiPlus 20k Standard 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 will use data from the external AC current sensor (must be ordered separately) or power meter to optimise self-consumption and, if required, to prevent grid feed. In case of a power outage, the MultiPlus will continue to supply the critical loads. MultiPlus Inverter/Charger 20kW 2\3 0 V
