I can confirm two 3000VA multiplus running in split phase can start and run a 3.5 ton Trane 18 seer dual stage heat pump with a MicroAir easy start installed. I searched far and wide for confirmation this could be done before purchasing the 2nd multi. Which is what originally brought me to...

Good tip for an awesome product. Dropped the starting amps of 3.5 ton dual compressor Trane from 100+A down to 25A @ 240V. Should be able to start and run that now with two Victron 3000VA inverters running in split phase.

Feature set is progress, but 25 amp max single AC out with a 3000W continuous inverter is meh. Does it at least provide PV power to loads while floating the battery? Gave up on larger personal power stations when burned by that lack of capability.

Thanks Hedges. I will have to chew on what you wrote to set it straight in my mind. I don't want to have to go through all the trouble to unbond all the circuits in my main panel when the power goes out. And I don't want to move them permanantly to a sub panel or install a smaller main panel...

Do your panels, inverters, and conductors look something like this? If, so what conductors (circled in orange) are you breaking when in a grid down topology? Edit: This is a drawing of someone named "Stumped". Don't attempt to duplicate in reality unless you know what you are doing to be correct.

Did you determine if your two multis can start your HVAC? Mirco-Air Easy starts seem to drop inrush amps in most reviews by approximately 66%. https://www.microair.net/products/easystart-368-6-ton-soft-start-motor-starter-for-115-and-230v-ac-motors

Thanks @sunshine_eggo . I juest checked my unbonded gas generator and it does the same thing.

I have since connected the multiplus chassis ground and the DC negative bus bar to the ground in my mains service panel with grid turned off. This should have provided a ground reference that the house uses yet the readings on the AC output of the multiplus are the same. Would the multiplus AC...

I am installing a multiplus II and am noting that when the ground relay is disabled in victron connect that there is still voltage present on the output ground when inverting from 48V battery. I have not connected AC input yet. My understanding is ground should be isolated from neutral when the...

Resurrection. Victron SCC's that have rising clamp terminals are optimized for bare wire. A ferrule may work in these type terminals just fine but I don't see how it would provide a better connection to bare wire installed to Victron's spec. Unless you take into account the prevention of...

Thanks. Similar products use the same wording which might lead one to think it will pass thru, but the keyword is "charging". Once the batteries are at 100% and no longer charging the PV input gets shut down even when loads are attached. The PV input will stay shut down until the battery...

Should not make for too much additional clutter feeding branch circuits off the positive bus bars through these blocks. These are DIN rail mountable and safety cover are available for the fuses. Cost adds up more than the chineese breakers many are using, but this is my plan for protecting...

Klaus Schwab has penetrated your solar cabinet I agree, it's a real problem fueled by farming services out to the lowest bidder.

Bluetti can not pass PV power to loads when battery SOC is 100%. Depending on how many of their expensive batteries you buy and your loads you may need run loads off battery part time when perfectly good solar power is available for harvesting. It likely has to do with their propitiatory SCC...

You can power the AC pass thru input of a multiplus II with it.

Why not get the 1200 if it's in budget? Idle power draw is only a watt or two more and efficiency is a percent or two higher as well. Then you'd have 2200W surge capability.

New member here, first post! Can Ecoflow products power loads directly via solar when the battery is at 100% SOC? I can say from experience the Bluetti AC300 does not which is disappointing in that they do not document this anywhere. If you have 4 of the Bluetti B300 batteries and small loads...
