Hi,
I read some messages with a Multiplus overloaded at lower power than nominal power.
I read documents from Victron with max power at 130% of nominal power (during 30min).
So I am looking for installation feedback to figure out what is the real capabilities.
What is the nominal/maximum power (for how long) you get from your three phase Multiplus system on DC supply ?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Answer depends on operating conditions and temperatures.
See derating on temperature whitepapers.
And also was it installed correctly. I have seen many a good inverter crippled by a bad install. And of course power factor and load type.
We have seen a 10kva struggle/overload with a 1500w lawnmower because the lawmower did not have a good run capacitor.
Of course it depends on conditions and temperature.
Your document shows that Multi can provides 2 times the nominal power at 25°c like other documents.
This is a feedback that we can get very low output from a bad install.
What do you effectively get from a good install (for a given temperature, and time)?
Remember the limit for pass through is the input current limit.
Inverting continuously has a nominal at 25° and then it also has peaks for certain periods. All depends on resistance, battery voltage and temperature. Particularly for inverting.
