Description
The Victron MultiPlus-II 12/5000/220-50 is a high-output multifunctional inverter/charger for 12 V battery systems, bringing together a powerful sine wave inverter, a 220 A battery charger and a fast AC transfer switch in one enclosure. It is built for demanding professional marine, vehicle and land based off-grid installations, and acts as a core building block in a Victron Energy Storage System (ESS), with built-in anti-islanding for grid-connected use.
PowerControl and PowerAssist let the unit share a limited shore or generator supply intelligently, first throttling battery charging and then drawing on the battery to support short peaks so the source is never overloaded. If the incoming AC fails, the inverter assumes the critical loads in under 20 milliseconds, keeping computers and sensitive electronics running. An optional external AC current sensor extends current sensing for self-consumption optimisation and grid feed limiting.
A second AC output handles loads that should switch off when no external AC is available, and several units can be paralleled or configured for three-phase output as power needs grow. The unit is set up using VEConfigure with an MK3-USB interface, and adding a GX device such as a Cerbo GX provides local and remote monitoring through the free VRM portal.

How fast does the MultiPlus-II switch to battery power during a grid failure?
The transfer to inverter operation happens in less than 20 milliseconds, so computers and other electronic equipment continue to operate without disruption.
What do PowerControl and PowerAssist do?
PowerControl lets you set a maximum shore or generator current; the unit then uses only the spare capacity for battery charging to avoid overloading the source. PowerAssist goes further by adding battery power to support the supply during short peaks, then recharges the battery when the load drops.
Can the MultiPlus-II be used in parallel or three-phase systems?
Yes. Up to six units can be connected in parallel for higher output, and three units of the same model can be configured for three-phase operation, with up to six sets of three paralleled for larger systems.
Is an external current sensor required?
No, it is optional. An external AC current sensor (50 A or 100 A) can be added to extend the PowerControl and PowerAssist range and to optimise self-consumption with external current sensing.
Can the MultiPlus-II be monitored remotely?
Yes. When connected to a GX device such as a Cerbo GX, system data can be stored and viewed on the free VRM portal, and settings can be changed remotely over the internet.
