Inverter 48/5000

The Victron Energy Inverter 48/5000, from the MultiPlus series, is an all-in-one energy solution. It combines a pure sine wave inverter, a sophisticated battery charger with adaptive charging technology, and an ultra-fast AC transfer switch in a single compact unit. It is designed to provide continuous and reliable power, particularly for marine and off-grid applications.

This MultiPlus 48/5000 inverter provides a continuous AC output power of 5000 VA, which is equivalent to approximately 4000 W at an ambient temperature of 25 °C.

The Victron Energy Inverter 48/5000 requires a 48 V DC input voltage to operate correctly.

The Victron Energy Inverter 48/5000 produces a pure sine wave alternating current (AC). This ensures stable and safe power supply for all types of electronic equipment, including the most sensitive ones.

By default, the AC output voltage is 230 V AC and the frequency is 50 Hz. These parameters can be configured, and on some models, it is possible to adjust them to 240 V AC and 60 Hz.

The integrated battery charger in the MultiPlus 48/5000 delivers a maximum charging current of 70 A. It uses adaptive charging technology to optimize battery lifespan.

The integrated AC transfer switch automatically and rapidly switches between different AC power sources (e.g., shore power, a generator, or an inverter). It handles a maximum current of 50 A, ensuring a smooth transition without noticeable power interruption.

The PowerAssist function is an intelligent technology that prevents overloading of limited AC sources, such as a generator or shore power connection. If power demand exceeds the AC source's capacity, the MultiPlus automatically reduces the battery load and supplements the AC output with battery power if needed, thus avoiding power outages.

The PowerControl function allows you to set a maximum current for the AC input source (such as a generator or shore power connection). This prevents overloading the source by limiting the battery charging current and the power supplied to AC loads, ensuring optimized energy management.

Yes, the MultiPlus 48/5000 includes UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) functionality. In the event of a power outage on the main AC source, the inverter takes over and provides uninterrupted AC power in less than 20 milliseconds, protecting sensitive electronic equipment from disruptions.

The MultiPlus 48/5000 includes multiple protections to ensure reliability and the safety of your installation. These include protections against:

Output short circuitsOverloadsExcessively high battery voltagesExcessively low battery voltagesExcessive temperaturesExcessively high DC ripple

Yes, the MultiPlus 48/5000 is equipped with an ECO mode. When this mode is activated, the inverter switches to standby if the connected load drops below a predefined value. It reactivates periodically to check if the load has increased, which reduces energy consumption when demand is low.

The MultiPlus 48/5000 has two AC outputs. The main output provides a seamless transfer function, ensuring continuous power supply. The second output is active only when the inverter is connected to a valid external AC source (e.g., shore power or a generator).

To ensure the inverter operates at full capacity and minimize losses, it is essential to use battery cables with a sufficient cross-sectional area. Specific recommendations depend on cable length and your system configuration. Always refer to the detailed installation manual for exact cable sizes.

The inverter is a Class I Safety product, meaning the chassis must be grounded. A grounding point is located outside the product. The ground conductor connecting the chassis ground terminal to ground must be at least half the cross-section of the conductors used for the battery connection. Local regulations may require a true neutral connection, where one of the AC output wires must be connected to the chassis, and the chassis to a reliable ground.

No, it is imperative never to connect the inverter's AC output to another AC source, such as a domestic wall outlet or a generator, without using an appropriate transfer switch. This could severely damage the inverter and pose a safety risk.

Yes, the Victron Energy Inverter 48/5000 is designed to be scalable. It can be configured to operate in parallel with up to six identical units to increase total output power. It can also be configured as a three-phase system for installations requiring this power distribution.

The MultiPlus 48/5000 uses the VE.Bus communication port. This port enables connection to various Victron Energy accessories for advanced configuration, system monitoring, and integration with other Victron equipment, such as control panels and remote monitoring devices.
