MultiPlus 12/3000/120-16 230V VE.Bus - 12V inverter/charger PowerAssist
MultiPlus 12/3000/120-16 230V VE.Bus is an inverter/charger that combines a true sine wave inverter and an adaptive charger for 12V batteries in one enclosure. It delivers 2400 W continuous power, charges batteries at up to 120 A, and its PowerAssist technology supplements grid or generator power; units can operate in parallel or three-phase.
Main features:
- Battery voltage: 12 V (9.5-17 V)
- Continuous power: 2400 W / 3000 VA at 25 °C, 6000 W peak
- Charge current: 120 A, adaptive 4-stage algorithm
- Transfer switch: 16 A
- Maximum efficiency: 93%
- No-break transfer: takes over the loads within 20 ms on grid failure
The MultiPlus, as the name suggests, is a combined inverter and charger in one elegant package. Its many features include a true sine wave inverter, adaptive charging, hybrid PowerAssist technology, plus multiple system integration features.
