Victron MultiPlus 24/ 2000 - 50-50 - 120V - VE.Bus (UL 458)

Reliable 24V Power: Victron MultiPlus 24/2000 Inverter/Charger

The Victron MultiPlus 24/2000 50-50 120V VE.Bus (MPN: PMP242200102) is a highly reliable combined true sine wave inverter and adaptive battery charger housed in one elegant package. Designed for 24V DC systems, it delivers 2000VA (1600W) of continuous 120V AC power while integrating a robust 50A battery charger and a heavy-duty 50A transfer switch. The unit features dual bank battery charging, allowing you to charge your main house battery bank while simultaneously maintaining a starter battery via an independent 4A trickle charge output.   

PowerAssist and Uninterrupted AC Power (UPS)

The MultiPlus 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.   

Configuration and Scalability

Configuring the MultiPlus is incredibly straightforward. After installation, basic settings can be changed in a matter of minutes using a simple DIP switch setting procedure, meaning no computer is required for basic setups. Offering virtually unlimited power potential, up to six MultiPlus units can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output, and they can also be configured for three-phase or split-phase operation. For advanced software features, the unit is fully VE.Bus compatible.

FAQs

Does the Victron MultiPlus 24/2000 have two AC outputs?

While the MultiPlus series generally highlights two AC outputs, the official documentation specifies that the second auxiliary output is only active on models rated at 3 kVA and higher. For this 2000VA model, the auxiliary output is marked as N.A., meaning it only features one primary no-break AC output.   

Do I need a computer to configure the Victron MultiPlus 24/2000?

No, a computer is not strictly necessary for basic configurations. If settings need to be changed after installation, this can be done in minutes using the built-in DIP switch setting procedure. Even parallel and 3-phase operations can be programmed with these DIP switches. However, for advanced features, VE.Bus software interfaces are available.   

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 supply by supplementing it with power taken directly from the battery.   

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

Yes, the MultiPlus 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 is the AC connection type on the MultiPlus 24/2000?

As noted in installation forums and the factory specifications, this classic unit uses heavy-duty screw-terminal connections (rated for 6 AWG / 13 mm² wire) for the 120V AC connections, ensuring a secure, reliable fit for your AC wiring that won't easily overheat under heavy loads.
