Description
The Victron MultiPlus 48/5000/70-100 is Victron Energy’s flagship inverter-charger, combining a pure sine wave inverter, a multi-stage battery charger, and an ultra-fast transfer switch in a single integrated unit. It is the core component in thousands of South African ESS (Energy Storage System) installations.
During normal grid operation, the Victron MultiPlus 48/5000/70-100 passes mains power through to your distribution board while simultaneously charging your battery bank at the configured charge current. When Eskom fails, the internal relay switches in under 20 milliseconds — faster than most computers’ power supply capacitors can discharge — ensuring no sensitive device reboots or resets.
The PowerControl feature limits the total AC draw from the grid to a configured threshold, adding battery power when household consumption exceeds it. PowerAssist goes further, supplementing grid or generator power with battery energy when loads briefly spike above the grid supply capacity — critical for undersized generator installations.
The VE.Bus communication interface connects the Victron MultiPlus 48/5000/70-100 to Victron’s GX monitoring devices (Cerbo GX, Venus GX) for full system visibility via the free VRM portal. When paired with Victron MPPT solar charge controllers, the system manages solar self-consumption, battery protection, and grid interaction completely autonomously.
Backed by a 5-year Victron manufacturer warranty. Available from End Loadshedding with South African support.
