Victron Energy MultiPlus 24/800/16-16 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger – PMP241800000

Product Description

The Victron Energy MultiPlus 24/800/16-16 230V VE.Bus is a compact inverter/charger designed for 24V battery systems that require dependable 230V AC power and integrated battery charging. Combining a pure sine wave inverter, a 16A battery charger and an automatic 16A AC transfer switch, it offers a practical all-in-one solution for marine, mobile, off-grid and backup-power applications.

With an 800VA inverter rating and a continuous active output of 700W at 25°C, the MultiPlus can power a range of compatible electrical equipment within its operating limits. When connected to an external AC supply, the integrated charger recharges the battery while the transfer switch supplies connected AC loads.

The VE.Bus communication interface supports configuration and integration with compatible Victron Energy equipment.

Pure Sine Wave Inverter

The MultiPlus converts 24V DC battery power into 230V AC pure sine wave electricity. This makes it suitable for a variety of compatible electronic devices and electrical appliances, subject to their power requirements and start-up currents.

Integrated Battery Charger

The built-in 16A battery charger supports charging of a suitable 24V battery bank from an external AC supply. Adaptive multi-stage charging helps manage the charging process. Charging parameters must be selected to suit the connected battery chemistry and manufacturer's recommendations.

Automatic AC Transfer Switch

When external AC power is available, the MultiPlus can supply connected loads through its transfer switch and charge the battery. If the external supply fails, the inverter automatically takes over, helping maintain continuity of power for suitable connected equipment.

The 16A transfer switch is intended for installations with appropriately rated AC supply and distribution equipment.

Typical Applications

The Victron Energy MultiPlus 24/800/16-16 is suitable for small 24V systems requiring modest AC power and integrated battery charging, including:

• Small boats and marine electrical systems

• Campervans and specialist vehicles using 24V systems

• Small off-grid installations

• Remote communications and monitoring equipment

• Low-power backup systems

• Battery-based mobile power installations

• Applications requiring a compact inverter and charger combination

The 800VA rating makes this model best suited to relatively low-power equipment. Appliances with motors, compressors or high start-up currents should be checked against the inverter's capacity before use.

Installation and Compatibility

The MultiPlus is designed for integration into a compatible 24V battery-based electrical system. The battery bank, DC cables, fuses, isolators and connections must be appropriately rated for the expected current.

AC input and output wiring must comply with the manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable electrical regulations. Suitable isolation, circuit protection, earthing and ventilation are important for safe operation.

VE.Bus communications support configuration using compatible Victron equipment and software. Additional monitoring or remote-control functions may require compatible accessories.

Installation and commissioning should be carried out by a suitably qualified professional.
