    Upgraded to 4 Victron Multiplus II 48v/5000kva in 120v Split Phase w/5 Ton EasyStart

    At first the L1 fan noise was loud. I upgraded the firmware and it seemed to go away. However, I have not been putting much load on the system. I plan to load it up within next couple weeks. More to come on fan noise.

    Moved from EG4 6500ex Inverters to Victron Multiplus II 48v/5000 Inverters

    The two EG4 6500ex were up-to-date on firmware. However, we experienced flickering lights daily and my UPSs I have staged around the house for internet, cameras and computers would beep throughout the day. I also experienced the EG4 inverters to just shutdown around 5 times over the duration I...

    Moved from EG4 6500ex Inverters to Victron Multiplus II 48v/5000 Inverters
