MultiPlus Inverter/Charger
800 VA – 5 kVA
Lithium Ion battery compatible
Multifunctional
The MultiPlus, as the name suggests, is a combined inverter and charger in one elegant package. Its many features include a true sine wave inverter, adaptive charging, hybrid PowerAssist technology, plus multiple system integration features. Models: 800VA, 1200VA, 1600VA, 2000VA, 3000VA, 5000VA
Unique PowerAssist feature
The MultiPlus 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.
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.
Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation
Up to 6 Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Three phase or split phase operation is also possible. Please check our datasheets to see which models have paralleling, three phase and split phase capabilities..
Remote Monitoring and Control
Monitor and control your MultiPlus 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, via the required Color Control GX or Venus GX, from adjusting your MultiPlus to setting a Geofence for hire vehicles and more....
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 20m Sec) that computers and other electronics equipment will continue to operate without disruption. The second output is live only when AC is available on one of the inputs 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 to on-models rated at 3kVA and more.
Virtually unlimited power due 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 25kW / 30kVA output with 720A charging capacity.
Three phase capability
In addition to parallel connection, three units of the same model can be configured for three phase output. And up to 6 sets of three units can be parallel connected for a huge 75kW/90kVA inverter and more that 2000Amps charging capacity
PowerControl - Dealing with limited generator, shore side or grid voltage
The MultiPlus is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the generator or shore side supply (nearly 10A per 5kVA Multi at 230VAC). With the MultiControl 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, Ve.Net Blue Power Panel, Color Control Panel,
smartphone or tablet (Bluetooth Smart), laptop or computer (USB or RS232).
Remote configuring
When connected to the Ethernet, systems with a Color Control panel can be accessed remotely and settings can
be changed
