I've found out today that my old kipor 6.7kva is not compatible with our victron multiplus inverter charger 12/3000/120 the electricity is to dirty. What genny about the 5kva / 6kva mark would give off clean enough electricity for our victron equipment to work for off grid use. We are in the uk. Any help appreciated thanks
Hi @LesRollins
Generator availability varies a lot with different regions. You definitely want one that is serviceable locally to you.
I cover this briefly in the intro to the MultiPlus Generator FAQ - have you already tried all the suggestions in there with your existing generator?
If you have tried all of those, and it STILL isn't working (which is unusual), then I would suggest calling up your local Victron Dealer, and asking them which generators have they have used successfully with Victron equipment that are available and serviceable locally.
Hi@Guy Stewart I have tried all options that I am capable of in the link you provided and have reached the conclusion that the inverter charger is just not going to accept the electricity from the kipor 6.7kva. I'm disappointed that victron equipment cannot seem to sort itself out a little better without having to go down the route of purchasing expensive generators
My 3600 watts Onan Cummings propane Generator plays well with my Multiplus 24/3000.
I use a Cummins Onan qd5000 with my Quattro. Works perfectly.
What would be the best generator to look for that would be compatible with victron equipment. One with a good AVR or a good inverter generator I'm at a loss
I am UK based so not sure about PMA generators so I'll look into them. Looked into stephill and smdo I think that's what they are called
