Victron MultiPlus 12/500/20-16 230V Sine Wave Inverter Charger VE.Bus

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

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…

Proven reliability

The full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology has proven its reliability over many years.
The inverter is short circuit proof and protected against overheating, whether due to overload or high ambient temperature.

PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator, shore side or grid power
With the Multi Control 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
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.

High start-up power
Needed to start high inrush loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps or electric tools.

Search Mode
When Search Mode is ‘on’, the power
consumption of the inverter in no-load
operation is decreased by approx. 70%. In this
mode the Multi, when operating in inverter
mode, is switched off in case of no load or very
low load, and switches on every two seconds
for a short period. If the output current exceeds
a set level, the inverter will continue to operate.
If not, the inverter will shut down again.

Programmable relay
By default, the programmable relay is set as
an alarm relay, i.e. the relay will de-energise
in the event of an alarm or a pre-alarm
(inverter almost too hot, ripple on the input
almost too high, battery voltage almost too
low).
