It is suited to off-grid installations, backup power systems and marine or vehicle applications where a compact, reliable inverter charger is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1600VA inverter output with a 48V DC input, compatible with 48V lead-acid and lithium battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20A battery charger built in, with a three-stage adaptive charging algorithm to suit a range of battery chemistries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16A AC transfer switch allows the unit to pass through shore power or generator input and switch to inverter operation when mains supply is lost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Bus communication interface enables parallel and three-phase configuration with additional MultiPlus units, and full integration with Victron GX devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowerAssist function supplements shore or generator power with battery power when AC load demand exceeds the available input current.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e230V AC output suitable for standard UK and European single-phase loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and wall-mountable design with a weight of 10 kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MultiPlus 48\/1600\/20-16 combines inverter, charger and transfer switch functions in one enclosure. When AC input is available, the unit charges the battery bank and passes power through to connected loads. If the AC input fails or is disconnected, the transfer switch operates in under 20 milliseconds, maintaining supply to critical loads without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Bus interface is a key feature for system scalability. Multiple MultiPlus units can be connected in parallel to increase output capacity, or configured for split-phase or three-phase operation. When paired with a Victron Cerbo GX or other GX device, the unit integrates fully into the VRM monitoring platform, giving installers and end users remote visibility of system performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in PowerAssist function is particularly useful in installations where the available shore power or generator capacity is limited. The unit monitors AC input current and, when loads approach the set limit, draws the balance from the battery bank rather than tripping the supply. This allows a smaller generator or limited shore connection to support larger loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePMP482160000\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eInverter Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1600VA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eDC Input Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e48V\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Output Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e230V\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBattery Charger Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e20A\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Transfer Switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCommunication Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eVE.Bus\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e10 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076046813\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid residential and cabin systems with a 48V battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power for critical loads where fast transfer from mains to battery is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations requiring 230V AC output from a 48V DC house bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMobile and vehicle-based systems such as expedition vehicles or large motorhomes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScalable off-grid systems where parallel or three-phase expansion via VE.Bus is planned.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Victron MultiPlus 48\/1600\/20-16 230V VE.Bus inverter charger unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with DC battery systems and AC wiring regulations. The MultiPlus operates at 48V DC, which requires correct cable sizing, fusing and battery connection practices. For any grid-connected or generator-tied application, ensure compliance with applicable UK wiring regulations and, where relevant, G98 or G99 requirements. VE.Bus configuration and system setup should be performed using Victron's VEConfigure software.
