Victron Energy MultiPlus Compact 800VA – 2000VA

The Victron Energy MultiPlus Compact 800 VA – 2000 VA is a high-performance, flexible, and reliable power management solution that fits Tanzanian energy needs—especially in areas with unstable grid power or where expandability matters.

The Victron MultiPlus Compact 2000 VA stands out for Tanzanian users seeking a robust, versatile, and scalable inverter-charger solution. Its ability to handle grid instability, support solar integration, expand across phases, and offer remote management makes it a compelling investment—especially for households and businesses looking to future-proof their power infrastructure.

Features & Benefits:

• The Victron MultiPlus Compact integrates a true sine wave inverter, an adaptive battery charger, and a high-speed AC transfer switch—all in a sleek, compact unit.
• PowerAssist / Hybrid PowerAssist
  Balances limited AC input (like a grid or generator) by reducing battery charging when needed, or temporarily drawing from the battery to boost output—avoiding overloads during peak demand.
• UPS Functionality
  Responds to power interruptions in under 20 milliseconds to ensure uninterrupted operation of sensitive electronics.
• Parallel & Multi-Phase Capability
  Supports up to six units in parallel for higher capacity, enables three-phase or split-phase configurations.
• Remote Monitoring & Control
  When paired with a GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX), the system supports remote monitoring and management via Victron’s VRM platform—accessible across devices.
