Victron MultiPlus 12/800 Inverter for Backup Power: The Perfect Solution for Home
Review of the Victron MultiPlus 12/800 Inverter System with 800W Power for Backup Lighting and Internet
The Victron MultiPlus 12/800 800W inverter system is an ideal solution for small home backup power systems, such as lighting and keeping the internet running. This model is designed to provide stable power in cases of short or prolonged power outages.
Main components of the system:
- Victron MultiPlus 12/800 inverter
- One 12V 200Ah battery
- Victron BMV-700 battery monitor
Key Features and Operating Modes
1. Autonomous operation at a 100W load
The system, with a single 12V 200Ah battery, shows long operational times at a 100W load. Considering the battery capacity is 2400Wh (12V x 200Ah), the system can run for about 24 hours at 100W consumption. This means it can maintain stable lighting and internet for nearly a full day without recharging.
2. Peak Power of 800W
When necessary, more powerful devices can be connected since the system supports a peak power of up to 800W. This allows for the temporary operation of household appliances with high starting loads (such as pumps or microwaves) without risking system overload.
3. Smooth switching and overload protection
The MultiPlus 12/800 model provides seamless switching between power sources. In the event of a grid outage, the system instantly switches to the battery without power interruptions. This is particularly important for sensitive equipment like routers or computers that ensure internet connectivity. Additionally, the inverter is equipped with overload protection, ensuring stable operation in any conditions.
4. Victron BMV-700: Battery status monitoring
Battery status is monitored through the Victron BMV-700, which provides accurate information on charging, remaining operating time, and current energy consumption. This simplifies system management and allows timely reactions to battery discharge, especially important for maintaining stable power.
System Benefits:
- Reliability: The system guarantees stable power for lighting and internet even during power outages.
- Compactness and ease of installation: The Victron MultiPlus 12/800 is compact and easily integrates into any home electrical system.
- Long runtime: At 100W, the battery provides over 24 hours of autonomous operation.
- Versatility: The system can handle both low and high loads (up to 800W).
- Convenient monitoring: Battery status is always under control thanks to the Victron BMV-700.
Operating modes at different loads:
- 100W (internet and lighting): up to 24 hours of operation.
- 200W (lighting, router, and TV): about 12 hours of operation.
- 400W (small appliances, laptop): about 6 hours of operation.
- 800W (maximum load): about 3 hours of operation on a fully discharged battery.
The system easily handles essential devices at various load levels, making it a versatile solution for the home.
