MultiPlus 12/1200/50-16 120V VE.Bus

Features

Multifunctional: The MultiPlus 12/1200/50-16 120V VE.Bus 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 enclosure.

Uninterrupted AC Power: In the event of a grid failure, or shore or generator power being disconnected, the inverter within the MultiPlus is automatically activated and takes over supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.

Parallel & 3-phase Operation Capability: Up to 6 inverters can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Operation in a 3-phase configuration is also possible.

PowerControl: Dealing With a Limited Generator or Shoreside Power. With a Digital Multi Control panel a maximum generator or shore current can be set. The Multi 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 allowing the MultiPlus Compact to supplement the capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required only for a limited period, it is possible to reduce the size of generator needed or conversely enable more to be achieved from the typically limited shore connection. When the load reduces, the spare power is used to recharge the battery.

Programmable Relay: The MultiPlus 12/1200/50-16 120V VE.Bus is equipped with a programmable relay that, by default, is set as an alarm relay. The relay can be programmed for all kinds of other applications, however, for example, as a starter relay for a generator.

Battery Charger

Adaptive 4-Stage Charging Characteristics (Bulk – Absorption – Float – Storage): The microprocessor-driven adaptive battery management system can be adjusted for various types of batteries. The adaptive function automatically adapts the charging process to battery use. The right amount of charge: variable absorption time In the event of slight battery discharge, absorption is kept short to prevent overcharging and excessive gas formation. After deep discharging, the absorption time is automatically extended in order to fully charge the battery.

Battery Safe Mode: If, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, damage due to excessive gassing will be prevented by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached.

Storage Mode: Storage Mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In Storage Mode, float voltage is reduced to 2,2V/cell (13,2V for 12V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.

(2) DC Outputs for Charging (2) Batteries: The main DC terminal can supply the full output current. The second output, intended for charging a starter battery, is limited to
1A and has a slightly lower output voltage.
