Can the Multiplus II 5KVA handle a 4500 watt electric water heater (Richmond 50 gal)?
My water heater has 2 4500 watt heating elements which I can disconnect one element.
The Multi II will be passing ac current to the Victron 120/220v autotransformer so I am able to run my 8amp 220v well pump. The transformer will be connected to my house service panel, (grid will be turned off)
The water heater will only be used to heat up enough water 100f degrees for my 10 minute shower then turned off for rest of the day. While the water heater is on, the well pump will be turned off as well as all the other circuits.
I don't have any of the solar components yet, I would like to go with the Multi II 5KVA but it's rated for only 4000 watts, 5000KVA x .8=4000 watts. I would also have two SOK 48V, 100AMH batteries.
Running 2 Multiplus 3KVA (4800 watts) will be beyond my budget but may be mangable if I were to delay the solar install.
