Victron MultiPlus Compact 24/1600/40-16 230V VE.Bus inverter

The Multiplus C 24/2000/40 from Victron (MPN CMP242160000) is a combination device consisting of a 24V 1300W sine wave inverter and battery charger. The permanently integrated battery charger delivers an impressive 70A, which means that even large batteries can be fully charged quickly when shore power is available. The 24V sine wave voltage converter built into the Multiplus converts your battery power into 230V AC. Thanks to the true sine wave, the power quality is also perfectly suited for sensitive electronic devices.

Comprehensive and flexible

In addition to an inverter and charger, it also has a lightning-fast 16A transfer switch, making it an ideal inverter for motorhomes, boats, or yachts, as well as for grid-connected uninterruptible power supply in the event of grid fluctuations or power failures. It can also be used in grid-connected self-consumption systems that only draw power from the utility when the battery power is no longer sufficient, or as a UPS solution in which the Multiplus kicks in when the power from the grid operator suddenly fails, thus ensuring an uninterruptible power supply.

Key features of the Multiplus C 24/1600/40

• 1300W continuous power and 3000W peak power, for 24V battery voltage
• Device combination of inverter with transfer switch and 40A battery charger
• Delivers pure 230V sine wave voltage and a clean 50Hz frequency
• VE.Bus communication port provides extensive networking, system integration, configuration, and control options for Victron Multiplus devices.
• Supports three-phase operation (3 identical units of the same model required)
• Multiplus devices can be connected in parallel; up to 6 devices can be connected in parallel, significantly increasing system performance when needed
• 2 AC outputs from Multiplus 3000 and larger. The second output can then be used to connect devices that should only run when mains power is available
• PowerControl function enables operation with limited generator power as well as limited shore or mains power
• PowerAssist function enables "power boost" of generators and shore power support when needed
• Can be used as a UPS solution for uninterruptible power supply
• Can be used for grid-connected self-consumption systems that only draw power from the grid operator when the battery capacity is no longer sufficient or other programmable events have occurred
• Compatible with numerous Victron control and display panels
• Three-phase operation possible with identical MultiPlus inverters

Massive power expansion possible

In addition to 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 (calculated with the 5000 version)

PowerControl – Working with limited generator power, restricted shore power or mains power

The MultiPlus is a very powerful battery charger. It therefore draws a lot of power from the generator or shore power supply (almost 10A per 5kVA Multi at 230 VAC). The Multi Control remote control panel can be used to set the maximum mains or generator power to be drawn. The MultiPlus then takes into account other connected AC consumers and only uses the "leftover" power for charging. This prevents the generator or shore power connection from being overloaded.

PowerAssist – "Power boost" for generators and shore power support

This function adds a new dimension to the PowerControl principle. It enables the MultiPlus to support underpowered alternative sources. Load peaks often only occur for a limited period of time. In such cases, the MultiPlus ensures that insufficient shore power or generator power is immediately compensated for by energy from the battery.

Backup system: AC power even during a power failure

The MultiPlus can be used with off-grid and grid-connected PV systems as well as other alternative energy systems. Software is available to detect a power failure.

Simple system configuration

If settings on an individual device need to be changed, this can be done in a matter of minutes using a DIP switch setting procedure.
Parallel-connected and three-phase systems can be configured using the VE.Bus Quick Configure and VE.Bus System Configurator software.

Monitoring options and on-site 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 monitoring of the MultiPlus. In addition, system data can be stored and viewed free of charge on the VRM (Victron Remote Management) website.

Remote configuration

If systems with a Color Control Panel are connected to the Ethernet, they can be accessed and settings can be changed remotely.
