Victron Energy MultiPlus 48/1200/13-16 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger – PMP482120000

Product Description

The Victron Energy MultiPlus 48/1200/13-16 VE.Bus Inverter Charger (PMP482120000) is a compact combined inverter and battery charger designed for 48V battery systems in off-grid, marine, mobile and backup power applications.

Combining a pure sine wave inverter, an integrated 13A battery charger and a 16A automatic transfer switch, the MultiPlus converts battery power into 230V AC electricity and charges compatible batteries when an external AC supply is available.

With a 1,200VA inverter rating and up to 1,000W of continuous output at 25°C, this model is suitable for smaller power installations requiring dependable AC conversion, battery charging and automatic changeover between mains or generator power and inverter operation.

Key Features and Benefits

Applications and Intended Use

Small Off-Grid Solar Systems

Converts energy stored in a compatible 48V battery bank into 230V AC electricity for lighting, small appliances and other suitable electrical loads. It can be incorporated into a system with compatible solar charge controllers and battery storage.

Marine Electrical Systems

Provides inverter power and battery charging for suitable onboard equipment where a 48V battery architecture is installed.

Motorhomes and Specialist Vehicles

Can supply smaller AC loads from a compatible 48V auxiliary battery system, subject to the unit's power rating and installation requirements.

Backup Power Systems

The integrated transfer switch allows connected equipment to receive inverter power when the external AC supply fails, subject to battery capacity and load requirements.

Remote Properties and Workshops

Suitable for smaller remote installations requiring battery-powered AC electricity and automatic charging when mains or generator power is available.

Battery-Based Energy Systems

Can be integrated with compatible Victron equipment to provide a coordinated system for inverter power, battery charging and energy monitoring.

Installation and Compatibility

The MultiPlus 48/1200/13-16 is designed for use with a correctly configured 48V DC battery system. Battery chemistry, charging settings, cable sizing, protective devices, ventilation and AC wiring must be selected to suit the installation.

The integrated 16A transfer switch manages changeover between the external AC supply and inverter operation. Connected loads must remain within the inverter's continuous and peak power capabilities, taking account of any starting currents from motors or other inductive equipment.

VE.Bus communications support configuration and integration with compatible Victron products. Additional monitoring and remote-control functions depend on the equipment used.

Installation and commissioning should follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable electrical regulations.
