Multi-functional,
with intelligent
power management
The MultiPlus is
a powerful true sine
wave inverter, a
sophisticated
battery charger that
features adaptive
charge technology,
and a high-speed AC
transfer switch in a
single compact
enclosure. Next to
these primary
functions,the
MultiPlus has
several advanced
features, as
outlined below.
Two AC Outputs
The main output
has no-break
functionality. The
MultiPlus takes over
the supply to the
connected loads in
the event of a grid
failure or when
shore/generator
power is
disconnected. This
happens so fast
(less than 20
milliseconds) that
computers and other
electronic equipment
will continue to
operate without
disruption. The
second output is
live only when AC is
available on one of
the inputs of the
MultiPlus. Loads
that should not
discharge the
battery, like a
water heater for
example, can be
connected to this
output (second
output availableon
models with 50A
transfer switch
only).
Virtually unlimited
power thanks to
parallel operation
Up to 6 Multi's
can operate in
parallel to achieve
higher power output.
Six 24/5000/120
units, for example,
will provide
25 kW /
30 kVAoutput power
with 720 Amps
charging capacity.
Three phase
capability
In addition to
parallel connection,
three units of the
same model can be
configured for
three-phase output.
But that’s not all:
up to 6 sets of
three units can be
parallel connected
for a huge 75 kW /
90 kVA inverter and
more than 2000 Amps
chargering capacity.
PowerControl -
Dealing with limited
generator, shore
side or grid power
The MultiPlus is
a very powerful
battery charger. It
will therefore draw
a lot of current
from the generator
or shore side supply
(nearly 10A per 5kVA
Multi at 230VAC).
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
This feature
takes the principle
of PowerControl to a
further dimension.
It allows the
MultiPlus to
supplement the
capacity of the
alternative source.
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.
Four stage adaptive
charger and dual
bank battery
charging
The main output
provides a powerful
charge to the
battery system by
means of advanced
‘adaptive
charge’software. The
software fine-tunes
the three stage
automatic process to
suit the condition
of the battery, and
adds a forth stage
for long periods of
float charging. The
adaptive charge
process is described
in more detail on
the Phoenix Charger
datasheet and on our
website, under
Technical
Information. In
addition to this,
the MultiPlus will
charge a second
battery using an
independent trickle
charge output
intended for a main
engine or generator
starter battery
(trickle charge
output available on
12V and 24V models
only).
Three Phase
System configuring
has never been
easier
After
installation, the
MultiPlus is ready
to go. If settings
have to be changed,
this can be done in
a matter of minutes
with a new DIP
switch setting
procedure.Even
parallel and
3-phase
operation can be
programmed with DIP
switches: no
computer needed!
Alternatively,
VE.Net can be used
instead of the DIP
switches. And
sophisticated
software (VE.Bus
Quick Configure and
VE.Bus System
Configurator) is
available to
configureseveral
new, advanced,
features.

Multiplus with grid
connected converter
for solar and/or
wind turbine
This panel is intended both for Multi's and
Quattro's. It allows PowerControl and PowerAssist
current limit setting for two AC sources: a
generator and shore-side current for example.
Variable setting range (with the rotary knob): up to
16 Amps (VE.Bus Multi Control 16/200A panel)
Fixed setting range (for both models): up to 200
Amps.
The brightness of the LED's is automatically reduced
during night time.
Battery Alarm
An excessively high or low battery voltage is
indicated by an audible and visual alarm, and a
relay for remote signalling.
