Hi guys,
I got the Victron Multiplus 12v 3000 120v inverter today and I've read the manual.
I am using in a home application (not in an RV). It will charge a battery bank when grid is online and power a few things when the grid is offline (from battery bank).
One thing I'm not clear on is that the manual states the AC INPUT CURRENT is 50A. But regular household breakers typically go up to 20A max. So what is the right way to connect this inverter's "AC IN" to the breaker box? Should I be supplying 50A, and if so how is that done with an 120v setup? Or do I need to connect it to a fresh 50A breaker in the main grid's breaker box?
I guess the reason this is important is that the Multiplus can charge batteries at up to 110A (90A default) so I want to make sure I'm understanding its input requirements correctly.
I know RVs have 50A breakers in them but I'm hooking this up at home.
Thanks!
Luc
