Specifications
Product Description
The Victron MultiPlus 48V 1600VA 48/1600/20-16 combines a pure sine wave 230 V inverter with a powerful 20 A charger and a 16 A transfer switch in a compact, professional metal chassis. Designed for 48 V installations that require higher continuous and peak power, it maintains the stability of critical equipment and optimizes grid or generator use with PowerControl and PowerAssist. Its high-efficiency electronics, Search Mode, and adaptive charging algorithm maximize autonomy and extend the life of the battery bank.
Main Features
- Continuous power 1300 W at 25 °C (1600 VA); peak power ≈2800 W.
- Multi-stage charger of 20 A with thermal compensation for lead and lithium.
- 16 A transfer switch with fast and stable switching between inverter and grid/generator.
- Efficiency ≈93–95 % and Search Mode with standby consumption ~3 W.
- VE.Bus for parallel (up to 6 units) or three-phase option; programmable relay and full integration with GX/VRM.
- Robust housing, forced ventilation, and wide thermal operating range.
Advantages or Benefits
- Pure sine wave that protects and powers sensitive electronics and appliances with high start-up peaks.
- Powerful recharging that reduces generator hours and improves system availability.
- Uninterrupted continuity thanks to fast transfer and high peak power.
- Scalable and monitorable: parallel/three-phase expansion and remote control with alarms and logs.
- Optimized standby consumption for greater autonomy in off-grid, marine, and mobile applications.
Purpose or Applications
Recommended for advanced campers, cruising vessels, technical cabins, food trucks, and homes with 48 V PV systems that require stable 230 V, a 20 A charger, and peak management without compromising efficiency.
