Actual maximum inverter power of an MP2 5000/70-50


Hi,

I am running 3 phases each on a MP2 45/5000/70-50 and I don't understand why I can draw this much current from my battery. Apparently I am not able to read the data sheet properly.

70A is max charger power,
50A is max inverter power.

Battery is running 48V which would be 50A*48V=2400VA * 3 = 7200VA maximum discharge power when symmetrically loading all phases - which my EV does. How is the system able to smoothly support 11kW of load by my EV charging 16A on 3 phases as it does in the Graphana screenshot below?

Here a maximum of 230A is drawn which equates to 11040 Watts at 48V.

The 50 in the Name of the MP2 is not inverter power. It the maximum current of the build in Relais.

Inverter Power is 5000VA or 4000 watts continuous. Thats the reason for your current draw, which is totally correct.

Thanks Jens, big fan :)
So I can pull 12kW on 3 phases or 17.4A/Phase before the MP2 goes into overload? (Or overheats and then goes into overload because of reduced output power capability)

4,000 watts at 25°C, less Watts at higher temps per the chart you posted.

That is if you use ACOUT for all the loads. If you only use ACIN for e.g. a domestic ESS system with critical loads functionality, then it is 4.4kW.

Okay so in ideal conditions I can invert 4000W of power per MP2.
How much power can be added on top of that using an AC-OUT coupled PV inverter in an off-grid system? Another 50A as the maximum AC-Input current indicates?

Specs are for an internal temp of 25C. At sustained loading it will likely derate, so I wouldn’t plan on running any inverter continuously at its highest output.

That is understood. Assuming the temperature was fixed at 25°C, and I run a 15kW PV-Inverter on AC-Out (as I am allowed to do because of the 1:1 rule) and this inverter yields maximum power could the system achieve 15kW+3*4kW = 29kW peak power?
