The Multiplus 12/3000/120-16 from Victron Energy (MPN: PMP123020001) is a device combination of a 12V 2400W sine wave inverter and a battery charger. The permanently integrated battery charger delivers a remarkable 120A, which means that even large batteries can be quickly fully charged when shore/mains power is available. The 12V sine voltage converter built into the Multiplus converts your electricity from the battery into 230V alternating current.
Thanks to the real sine wave, the power quality is also perfect for sensitive electronic devices. In addition to the two integrated device types, a lightning-fast transfer switch is also installed, which can also be used to implement numerous grid-connected solutions. In addition to the VE.Bus port, there is also a COM port available for system integration, which enables virtually unlimited networking of the Multiplus.
Can be used comprehensively and flexibly
This inverter combines charger, inverter and a fast transfer switch, perfect for RVs, boats, yachts and grid connection. It ensures uninterrupted power supply in the event of network fluctuations or failures. Also ideal for self-consumption systems that only access mains power when battery power is low, or as a UPS solution that ensures uninterrupted power flow if the mains fails.

Massive performance expansion possible
Apart from the parallel connection, three units of the same model can also be configured for a three-phase output. But that's not all: up to six sets of three units can be connected in parallel to achieve a huge 75 kW / 90 kVA inverter and over 2,000 A charging capacity (calculating with the 5000 version)
Power Control
Working with limited generator power, limited shore or grid power
The MultiPlus is a very powerful battery charger. Therefore it draws a lot of power from the generator or shore power supply (almost 10A pro 5kVA Multi at 230 VAC). The maximum mains or generator current that can be drawn can be set using the Multi Control remote control panel. The MultiPlus then takes into account other connected AC consumers and only uses the electricity that is “left over” for charging. This prevents the generator or shore power connection from being overloaded.
PowerAssist
“Increasing the performance” of generators and shore connection support
This function gives the PowerControl principle a new dimension. It enables the MultiPlus to support alternative sources that are too weak. Load peaks often only occur for a limited period of time. In such a case, the MultiPlus ensures that weak shore power or generator output is immediately compensated for by energy from the battery.
Back-up system: alternating current even in the event of a power failure
The Multiplus can be used in both off-grid and grid-connected PV systems as well as other alternative energy systems. Power failure detection software is available.
Easy system configuration
If settings on a single device need to be changed, this can be done in a matter of minutes using a DIP switch setting procedure.
Parallel and three-phase systems can be configured using the VE.Bus Quick Configure and VE.Bus System Configurator software.
On-site monitoring options 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 monitoring and control
Victron Ethernet Remote, Victron Global Remote and the Color Control Panel enable remote maintenance and remote monitoring of the MultiPlus. In addition, the system data can be saved and viewed free of charge on the VRM (Victron Remote Management) website.
Remote configuration
When systems with a color control panel are connected to the Ethernet, they can be accessed and settings can be changed remotely.
