General Overview
The MultiPlus combines multiple functionalities into a single unit. This powerful device serves as:
- True sine wave inverter
- Advanced battery charger with adaptive charge technology
- High-speed AC transfer switch
This multifunctional unit also incorporates several advanced features to handle a variety of applications.
Key Features:
Uninterrupted AC Power
- In the event of grid failure, or disconnection of shore or generator power, the MultiPlus automatically activates and takes over power supply to connected loads.
- Transfer time is less than 20 milliseconds, ensuring no disruption to electronic devices like computers.
Parallel & 3-Phase Operation Capability
- Up to 6 inverters can operate in parallel for higher power output.
- The system can also be configured for 3-phase operation.
PowerControl – Limited Generator or Shore Power Handling
- Using the Multi Control Panel, users can set a maximum generator or shore current.
- The MultiPlus optimizes power usage, ensuring that excess power is used for battery charging, thus preventing overloading the generator or shore supply.
PowerAssist – Boosting Shore or Generator Power Capacity
- This feature allows the MultiPlus to supplement the capacity of the generator or shore power during peak load periods.
- Once the load reduces, excess power is used to recharge the batteries.
Programmable Relay
- The MultiPlus comes with a programmable relay (default set as an alarm relay).
- The relay can be customized for various applications, such as starter relay for a generator.
Advanced Battery Charger with Adaptive Charging
- The MultiPlus offers adaptive 4-stage charging: Bulk – Absorption – Float – Storage.
- It automatically adjusts the charging process to optimize battery health, preventing overcharging or excessive gassing.
Battery Safe Mode
- Prevents damage from excessive gassing by limiting voltage increase once gassing voltage is reached during a high charge current.
Storage Mode for Reduced Maintenance
- After 24 hours of no discharge, the MultiPlus enters Storage Mode, reducing the float voltage to minimize gassing and corrosion.
- Once a week, it raises the voltage back to absorption level to equalize the battery.
Dual DC Outputs
- Main DC terminal delivers full output current.
- Second DC output is limited to 1A, designed for charging a starter battery.
Temperature Compensation for Battery Longevity
- Temperature sensor adjusts the charging voltage to protect maintenance-free batteries from overcharging.
Solar Energy Storage & Grid Compliance
- If used in a solar energy storage system, grid compliance is achieved by selecting the appropriate grid code country setting through the VEConfigure tool.
- Password protection secures the settings, preventing unauthorized adjustments.
Certification Notes:
- The MultiPlus is IEC62109.1 certified and CEC approved for off-grid use.
- Additional certifications (IEC 62109.2 and AS 4777.2.2015) are required for grid-interactive systems in Australia.
