1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 General
Multi-functional (Multi/ MultiPlus only)
The Multi gets its name from the multiple functions it can perform. It is a powerful true sine
wave inverter, a sophisticated battery charger that features adaptive charge technology and a
high-speed AC transfer switch in a single compact enclosure. Beside these primary functions,
however, the Multi has several advanced features that provide a range of new applications as
outlined below.
Uninterrupted AC power (Multi/ MultiPlus only)
In the event of a grid failure, or shore or generator power being disconnected, the inverter
within the Multi is automatically activated and takes over supply to the connected loads. This
happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment
will continue to operate without disruption.
Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation
Up to 5 units can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Five 24/3000/70 units,
for example, provide 12,5 kW of output power with 350 A of charging capacity.
Three phase capability
In addition to parallel connection, three units of the same model can be configured for three-
phase output. But that's not all: up to five sets of three units can be parallel connected for a
huge 37,5 kW inverter and 1050 A charger! (Multi/ MultiPlus only)
PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator or shore side power (Multi/ MultiPlus
only)
The Multi is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the
generator or shore side supply (nearly 10 A per Multi at 230 VAC). With the Phoenix Multi
Control Panel a maximum generator or shore current can be set. The Multi will then take
account of other AC loads and use whatever is extra for charging, thus preventing the
generator or shore supply from being overloaded.
PowerAssist – Boosting the capacity of shore or generator power
The feature that distinguishes the Phoenix MultiPlus from the standard Multi is PowerAssist.
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension allowing the MultiPlus
to supplement the capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required
only for a limited period, it is possible to reduce the size of generator needed or conversely
enable more to be achieved from the typically limited shore connection. When the load
reduces, the spare power is used to recharge the battery.
Note: minimum shore current 4 A or generator capacity 2,5 kW required per MultiPlus.
