ve.bus battery monitor acronyms?

Anyone know where I can find out what each acronym means in the battery monitor window in VEConfig 3? I can't find them anywhere.

Hi @Fozzydabear,

I have written out a short explanation of each of the acronyms. If any of these need further explaination (eg DC ripple), probably the next best resource to read is Victron's Wiring Unlimited.

If you still have questions after reading that, post back.

Victron - VE.Bus Battery Monitor Acronyms

L1, L2, L3 - Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3

UMains - AC voltage at inverter AC input

IMains - AC current at inverter AC input

Power - AC power in VoltAmps at inverter input

UOut - AC Voltage at inverter output

IOut - AC Current at inverter output

power - AC power at inverter output in VoltAmps

Freq. Out - AC Frequency at inverter output

Freq. In - AC Frequency at inverter input

DC

Udc - DC Voltage at inverter battery terminals

Idc - DC Current at inverter battery terminals

Idc invert - DC current in direction of loads through the inverter

Idc charge - DC current in direction of battery through inverter/charger

Udc ripple - DC ripple voltage

Ignore AC - Is the unit ignoring the AC input

Aux. Relay - what is the status of the Aux relay

Hi @Fozzydabear

I'm not sure exactly what you're after here, but on the VEConfig screen itself, try selecting 'Help' > 'What is this' > click on the word itself.

You should get a brief explanation, and possibly links to broader stuff.

If this isn't enough, come back with specifics and we'll try harder.. :)

It's the monitor screen on the left that give ins and out for DC, ac in etc. The help feature doesn't work because it's not a changeable field and none of the acronyms are in the search
