Parallel Operation and Three-Phase Capability

The MultiPlus 12/1600/70 offers flexible installation options with its parallel and three-phase operation capabilities. Up to six MultiPlus units can be connected in parallel to increase power output, accommodating higher energy needs. Additionally, three units can be configured to provide a balanced three-phase output, making it a versatile choice for applications requiring complex power solutions. This scalability ensures that the MultiPlus can grow with your energy demands, offering unmatched adaptability.

PowerControl and PowerAssist for Optimal Performance

Equipped with advanced PowerControl and PowerAssist features, the MultiPlus 12/1600/70 excels in managing limited generator, shore, or grid power. With PowerControl, users can set a maximum current limit to prevent overloads, dynamically adjusting charging rates based on available power. PowerAssist takes this a step further by supplementing external power sources with battery power during peak demands, ensuring continuous operation without compromising on performance. This dynamic power management enhances the usability of the MultiPlus in varied settings.

Advanced Battery Charging with Adaptive Technology

The MultiPlus 12/1600/70 incorporates a four-stage adaptive charger, intelligently adjusting its charging profile to suit the condition of the battery. This adaptive charge process enhances battery life and performance, ensuring optimal charging for a wide range of battery types. The unit also features a secondary trickle charge output for charging a starter battery, making it ideal for dual-battery systems in marine, automotive, or off-grid applications. This comprehensive charging solution maximises battery health and system efficiency.

High Start-Up Power and Search Mode Efficiency

Designed to handle high inrush loads, the MultiPlus 12/1600/70 provides ample start-up power for demanding appliances such as power tools, LED drivers, and other devices with high initial energy requirements. Additionally, the inverter’s Search Mode reduces idle power consumption by approximately 70%, automatically turning off when no load is detected and briefly activating to check for a load presence. This mode significantly reduces energy wastage, enhancing overall system efficiency in low-load conditions.

Remote Monitoring and Control Capabilities

With built-in VE.Bus communication ports, the MultiPlus 12/1600/70 can be integrated into a larger energy management system, allowing remote configuration and monitoring via the Cerbo GX or other GX products. Connecting to the internet unlocks access to the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal, offering real-time data insights, alarm notifications, and the ability to adjust settings remotely. This capability empowers users with comprehensive control over their power systems, ensuring reliability and quick response to any operational issues.

Compact, Durable Design with Programmable Features

The MultiPlus 12/1600/70 is housed in a steel/ABS enclosure with an IP21 protection rating, designed to withstand harsh environments. The unit includes a programmable relay that can be set for alarms or various other functions, enhancing its versatility in custom applications. Compact and lightweight, the MultiPlus fits into tight spaces, making it perfect for mobile or limited-space installations. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance, even in demanding conditions, while its intelligent design simplifies system setup and operation.
