Victron Energy MultiPlus-II 5kVA
MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50 230V · Victron Energy
Inverter/charger, single-phase
Good to know
- An inverter and battery charger: it gives backup power from a battery, but solar panels need a separate solar charge controller.
- Output 4000 W (5000 VA), surge 9000 W.
- Battery: 48 V (38-66 V), charging up to 70 A.
- Switches to backup in 20 ms (the datasheet's UPS / transfer time).
- NRS 097-2-1 (the South African grid code): stated. Municipalities generally ask for this certificate before you connect a system that can feed the grid.
- Warranty: Not stated on the datasheet.
