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 output power with 350 Amps 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
