Smart Energy Management with Hybrid PowerAssist and UPS Function

The Victron MultiPlus Compact 12/2000/80-50 120V VE.BUS (MPN: CMP122200102) elegantly combines a true sine wave inverter and an adaptive battery charger into one space-saving package. Operating on a 12V DC system (9.3-17V input), it delivers 2000W of continuous 120V AC power while integrating a robust 80A battery charger and a 50A transfer switch. The unit features 1+1 charging banks, allowing you to charge your main house battery bank while simultaneously maintaining a starter battery.   

PowerAssist and Uninterrupted AC Power (UPS)

The MultiPlus Compact utilizes Victron’s unique hybrid PowerAssist technology to prevent the overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. It first automatically reduces battery charging to avoid an overload, and then seamlessly boosts the output of your shore side supply or generator with power drawn directly from the battery. In the event of a grid failure or disconnected shore power, the built-in UPS function automatically takes over the supply to connected loads in less than 20 milliseconds, ensuring computers and other electronic equipment continue to operate without disruption.   

Scalability and Remote Monitoring

Offering virtually unlimited power potential, up to 6 MultiPlus units can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Three-phase or split-phase operation is also possible. When paired with a GX device (such as the Color Control GX or Venus GX), users can monitor and control their system locally via LAN or remotely from anywhere in the world using the free VRM app and VRM portal website. There is no end to the level of control, from adjusting parameters to setting a geofence for hire vehicles.

Features

• Multifunctional -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.
• Unique PowerAssist feature - The MultiPlus will prevent overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. First, battery charging will automatically be reduced when otherwise an overload would occur. The second level will boost the output of a generator or shore side supply with power taken from the battery
• Uninterrupted AC power (UPS function) - In the event of a grid failure, or when shore or generator power is disconnected, the inverter within the Multi is automatically activated and takes over the 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.
• Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation -Up to 6 Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Three phase or split phase operation is also possible. Please check our datasheets to see which models have paralleling, three phase and split phase capabilities.
• Remote Monitoring and Control - Monitor and control your MultiPlus and system or systems' locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world, using the free VRM app and free VRM portal website. Access can be from a phone, tablet, laptop or PC for multiple operating systems. There is no end to the level of control, via the required Color Control GX or Venus GX, from adjusting your MultiPlus to setting a Geofence for hire vehicles and more...

FAQs

What does "1+1 Charging Banks" mean on the Victron MultiPlus Compact 12/2000?

The 1+1 charging banks specification means the unit features one main high-current output (80A) designed to charge your primary house battery bank, plus a secondary low-current trickle charge output designed specifically to maintain a separate engine starter battery.   

How does the Victron MultiPlus PowerAssist feature work?

PowerAssist prevents the overload of a limited AC source like a shore power connection or a generator. First, it automatically reduces battery charging when an overload would otherwise occur. Second, it boosts the output of the generator or shore side supply by supplementing it with power taken directly from the battery.   

Can the Victron MultiPlus Compact act as a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)?

Yes, the MultiPlus Compact features a UPS function that automatically activates the inverter and takes over the supply to connected loads if the grid fails or shore/generator power is disconnected. The transfer happens in less than 20 milliseconds, keeping computers and electronic equipment running without disruption.   

What should I consider when installing the Victron MultiPlus Compact?

As frequently discussed in RV and marine installation forums, while the "Compact" chassis is excellent for tight spaces, it is crucial to provide adequate ventilation around the unit. Drawing 2000W of continuous power generates heat, and proper airflow ensures the unit operates efficiently without thermal throttling.

How do I remotely monitor the Victron MultiPlus Compact?

When coupled with a required GX device, such as the Color Control GX or Venus GX, you can monitor and control the MultiPlus locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world using the free VRM app and VRM portal website.
