4000 W at an ambient temperature of 25 °C.3700 W at an ambient temperature of 40 °C.It provides stable 230 V AC power at 50 Hz, with a selectable 60 Hz option.

The inverter of the MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 can provide a peak power of 10000 W. This capacity is essential for starting high inrush current loads, such as certain power tools or electronic devices.

The MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 offers a range of advanced functions:

Pure sine wave inverter: Provides high-quality AC power.Adaptive battery charger: Charges service batteries with a 120 A current and a 4 A float charge for the starter battery.AC transfer switch: Ensures fast switching between power sources (less than 20 ms).PowerControl and PowerAssist features: Manages and boosts limited AC power sources.UPS function: Guarantees uninterrupted power during outages.Search mode: Reduces no-load power consumption.Programmable relay: Can be configured for various applications, such as an alarm or generator start relay.Parallel and three-phase operation: Allows increasing output power and load capacity.

Yes, absolutely. The MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 is a pure sine wave inverter, meaning it produces a high-quality sine wave, identical to or better than the mains power. This makes it perfectly suited to power all types of sensitive electronic devices, including computers, televisions, and communication equipment, without risk of disruption or damage.

The adaptive battery charger of the MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 is compatible with a wide range of battery technologies, including:

Lithium batteries.AGM batteries (Absorbent Glass Mat).Gel batteries.Flooded lead-acid batteries.The charging system adapts its process to the state and type of battery to optimize its lifespan.

The MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100's integrated charger can deliver a powerful charging current of 120 A for the service battery system. This high current enables rapid and efficient recharging of your main batteries.

Yes, the MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 has a second independent charging output. This output is specifically designed for maintenance charging of a starter battery (main engine or generator) and is limited to a current of 4 A. It ensures your starter battery remains charged and ready for use.

The PowerControl function allows you to set a maximum current that the MultiPlus can draw from a limited AC source, such as a generator or a shore power outlet. The device takes other AC loads into account and only uses the 'excess' current for battery charging, thus avoiding overloading the external power source. This optimizes the use of available energy.

The PowerAssist function extends the PowerControl principle by allowing the MultiPlus to supplement the capacity of a limited AC source. When power demand exceeds the generator or shore power outlet capacity, the MultiPlus will temporarily draw energy from the batteries to compensate for the shortfall. Once the load decreases, the excess power is used to recharge the batteries. This feature is ideal for managing power peaks without overloading the external source.

Yes, the MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 includes uninterruptible power supply (UPS) functionality. In the event of a mains power failure or generator shutdown, the MultiPlus automatically switches to inverter mode. This switch is nearly instantaneous, with a transfer time of less than 20 milliseconds, ensuring that computers and other sensitive electronic devices are not disrupted and continue operating without interruption.

Yes, the MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 is designed for parallel connection. You can connect up to six MultiPlus units in parallel to achieve higher AC output power and battery charging capacity. For example, six 24/5000/120-100 units can provide a combined output power of 30 kVA and a charging capacity of 720 A.

Yes, the MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 can be configured for a three-phase output. To do this, three MultiPlus units are required. Additionally, up to six sets of three units can be connected in parallel to provide an even higher three-phase power output, reaching up to 90 kVA of inverter power and over 1200 A of charging capacity.

The MultiPlus uses a microprocessor-controlled 4-stage adaptive battery management system that adjusts to the battery type and condition to optimize its lifespan:

Bulk (rapid charge): Charges the battery to its maximum capacity.Absorption: Maintains a constant voltage for a full charge, with a variable duration depending on the initial discharge.Float (maintenance): Keeps the battery at a float voltage to compensate for self-discharge.Storage: Reduces float voltage after 24 hours without discharge to minimize gassing and corrosion, with weekly equalization.

Yes, the MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 is extremely well suited to solar energy applications. It can be used in standalone systems (off-grid) as well as grid-connected systems. It can manage excess solar energy to recharge batteries and can even replace the grid in case of failure, ensuring continuous power supply to essential equipment.

The MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 offers several configuration and monitoring options:

DIP switches: For basic settings (remote behavior, battery charge voltages, search mode).VictronConnect app: Allows monitoring and configuration via Bluetooth (with a VE.Bus Smart dongle) from a smartphone, tablet, or PC.VE-Configure software: For advanced configuration via PC using the MK3-USB interface.GX products (Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX): For intuitive control, system monitoring, and free access to the VRM (Victron Remote Management) portal via the Internet.

When installing the MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100, it is imperative to follow several safety precautions:

The product is a Class I safety device and must be continuously grounded.Ensure that connection cables are equipped with appropriate fuses and circuit breakers.Install the device in a heat-resistant environment, away from chemicals, plastics, or flammable textiles.Provide sufficient space around the product for adequate ventilation and do not block ventilation openings.Never use the product in areas where gas or dust explosions could occur.Always disconnect the AC power and battery before performing any maintenance.

The MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 has an IP21 protection rating. This means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm (such as fingers) and against vertically falling water droplets. It is important to install it in an environment where it will not be exposed to direct water splashes or excessive humidity.

The MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 is designed to operate across a wide temperature range, from -40 °C to +65 °C. It features a fan-assisted cooling system to maintain optimal performance under these conditions.

In the event of a mains power failure or generator shutdown, the MultiPlus 24/5000/120-100 automatically and seamlessly switches to inverter mode. This process is so fast, with a transfer time of less than 20 milliseconds, that connected devices, including computers and other sensitive electronic equipment, continue to operate without any disruption. It functions as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system.
