The Victron MultiPlus 24/500/10-16 combines a true sine wave inverter, an adaptive 4-stage battery charger, and a high-speed AC transfer switch in one compact enclosure. It suits a 24V self-build electrical system where you need dependable mains power on tap, plus a proper charger to top the battery bank back up from shore power or a generator.
The full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology has proven its reliability over many years in the field. The inverter is short-circuit proof and protected against overheating, whether from overload or high ambient temperature.
Key features
500VA (430W continuous at 25°C) pure sine wave inverter with a 900W peak rating for high-inrush loads such as power tools, compressors and LED drivers
10A adaptive 4-stage battery charger (Bulk, Absorption, Float, Storage) plus a 1A trickle output for a separate starter battery
16A high-speed AC transfer switch with UPS-grade changeover in under 20 milliseconds, so connected equipment does not drop out
Search Mode cuts no-load power draw by around 70% by switching the inverter off between load checks every two seconds
Programmable relay, factory set as an alarm relay for overheat, high ripple or low battery pre-alarm conditions
VE.Bus communication port for remote monitoring and configuration via a GX device
Can run in parallel with up to five further units, or be configured for three-phase operation
