Why Buy This Inverter/Charger
- All‑in‑one solution – Combines inverter, battery charger and automatic mains transfer in a single enclosure, simplifying design and installation while reducing wiring complexity and space requirements.
- Reliable backup power – Keeps critical loads running by switching rapidly to battery power when the grid or generator fails, providing an uninterruptible‑style supply for essential home circuits and professional systems.
- Optimised for limited mains or generator – PowerControl and PowerAssist intelligently manage current draw and supplement weak supplies with battery power, helping prevent tripped breakers and improving user comfort.
- Battery‑friendly charging – Four‑stage adaptive charging and dual‑bank capability help maximise battery life and performance across lithium, AGM, gel, sealed and flooded batteries.
- Scalable for larger systems – Up to six units can be connected in parallel, with options for three‑phase or split‑phase configurations to support higher power and more demanding loads as your system grows.
- Remote control and monitoring ready – Compatible with Victron monitoring and communication accessories, enabling on‑site configuration and remote supervision of system performance.
Key Features
- Multifunctional power management – Integrated true sine wave inverter with up to 1000W continuous output at 25°C, delivering clean power suitable for sensitive electronics, appliances and tools.
- PowerControl – Allows the maximum current draw from grid or generator to be set so the MultiPlus automatically adjusts charging to avoid overloading the supply.
- PowerAssist – Temporarily adds inverter power from the battery when loads exceed shore or generator capacity, then recharges the battery when demand falls.
- Parallel and three‑phase capability – Up to six MultiPlus units can operate together for higher output, with options to configure in three‑phase for more complex installations.
- Four‑stage adaptive charger – Intelligent bulk, absorption, float and storage modes automatically adapt to battery condition, with dual‑bank charging for a main battery bank and a secondary bank such as a starter battery.
- High start‑up power – Handles loads with high inrush current such as pumps, fridges and power tools thanks to a 2400W peak rating.
- Low standby consumption – Zero‑load power of around 10W, or approximately 3W in search mode, improves efficiency in systems where loads are intermittent.
- Programmable relay and remote on/off – Configurable relay and remote control options allow integration with alarms, generator start/stop and wider system logic.
- Comprehensive protection – Built‑in safeguards against overload, short circuit, high/low battery voltage, over‑temperature and excessive input voltage ripple.
- On‑site and remote configuration – Settings can be adjusted using DIP switches or via compatible configuration tools and communication interfaces.
Suitable For
- Home backup and self‑consumption – Ideal for small battery storage systems supporting essential household circuits during outages or for optimising use of stored solar energy.
- Off‑grid cabins and holiday homes – Provides a stable 230V supply from batteries in remote locations with limited or no grid connection, working alongside solar PV and generators.
- Marine and campervan systems – Compact, efficient and robust solution for boats, motorhomes and specialist vehicles needing quiet, reliable AC power from a 48V battery bank.
- Trade and professional installations – Suitable for installers designing small commercial, telecoms, security or light industrial systems requiring a high‑quality inverter/charger with strong brand backing.
