It is well suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power systems where space and weight are a consideration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1600VA continuous inverter output at 230V AC, with a 3000W peak surge capacity to handle motor start loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40A three-stage battery charger (bulk, absorption, float) with adaptive charge algorithm for optimised battery life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16A AC transfer switch allows connection to shore power or a generator, with near-instant switchover to protect sensitive loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Bus communication interface enables system integration, remote monitoring and configuration via Victron GX devices and VEConfigure software.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowerControl function limits the total AC current draw, preventing overload of a generator or shore power supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowerAssist function supplements shore or generator power with battery power during peak demand, allowing a smaller AC source to be used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor at 11.4 kg, making it practical for installations with limited space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MultiPlus Compact combines a true sine wave inverter with a multi-stage battery charger in one housing. When AC input is available (shore power or generator), the unit charges the battery bank and passes power through to connected loads. When AC input is lost or disconnected, it switches to inverter mode automatically. The transfer time is fast enough for most computers and sensitive electronics to remain operational without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Bus interface is a key practical feature for professional installations. It allows multiple MultiPlus units to be configured in parallel for increased capacity, or in split-phase and three-phase configurations. It also enables full integration with Victron's GX monitoring devices (such as the Cerbo GX), giving installers and end users remote visibility of system status, battery state of charge, and AC input\/output data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePowerControl and PowerAssist are particularly useful in installations where the available AC supply is limited. PowerControl caps the charger current to prevent tripping the shore supply breaker. PowerAssist goes further by drawing on the battery to supplement the AC source during brief high-demand periods, effectively allowing a 16A shore connection to support loads that would otherwise exceed that limit.\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  \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  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCMP242160000\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBattery Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e24V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eInverter Output Power\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;\"\u003eCharger Output Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e40A\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;\"\u003eAC Output Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e230V AC\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;\"\u003e11.4 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;\"\u003e8719076065104\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote buildings with 24V battery banks requiring AC power and battery charging from a generator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations where shore power charging and inverter backup are needed in a compact, lightweight unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle conversions (motorhomes, expedition vehicles) requiring 230V AC output from a 24V house battery system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power systems for critical loads such as communications equipment, medical devices or security systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall off-grid solar systems where the MultiPlus is paired with a solar charge controller and GX monitoring device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Victron MultiPlus Compact 24\/1600\/40-16 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 230V AC wiring.

Where the MultiPlus is integrated into a solar or backup system with grid connection, all relevant UK wiring regulations and any applicable G98 or G99 requirements must be observed. VEConfigure software is required for advanced configuration and is available from Victron Energy. For parallel or three-phase configurations, additional setup via VE.Bus is required and should only be undertaken by installers with experience of Victron system design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59864576459086,"sku":"CMP242160000","price":580.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_CMP242160000_-_MultiPlus_Compact_24-1600-40-16_230V_VE.Bus.webp?v=1781187902","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-multiplus-compact-24-1600-40-16-230v","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
