Marine Whether you sail for fun or on a professional basis, it is of the utmost importance to have a reliable power supply for all the electrical equipment to properly function, even in the middle of the sea. Victron Energy offers a broad range of products that are extremely suitable for your onboard power system. We proudly present you our modern translation for freedom and independence.

Energy. Anytime. Anywhere. Application examples Our products are being used in many different kinds of vessels: sailing yachts, cruise ships, sloops, tugboats, motor boats and container ships. To give you an idea of the possibilities of the use of our products, we gathered a few application examples. Sailing yacht Elektra Motor yacht Nordhavn 68

Sailing yacht Elektra Elektra The electric propulsion sailing yacht Elektra is an example of a retail customer that chose to use Victron Energy products because we at Victron have a complete range of the products that were needed, along with good online technical information and support; all without having to go to multiple suppliers. And the idea that our products are integrated and can easily be added to or combined with the customer’s personal boat project needs was also a big plus. More power needed As he got used to his original basic system he realised he needed more battery power for...

Energy. Anytime. Anywhere. Remote console Furthermore there is no need to be concerned about battery SOC, as the customer can leave his boat at any point and control the system chargers remotely via a Smartphone or Laptop. This is called ‘Remote Console’, an example of which is shown below. System components The photo above shows the 2 x 12.8V 200 Ah Lithiumiron-phosphate (LiFePO4) propulsion batteries with cell balancing and BMS (shown centre).

Systems There are many ways to build a Victron Energy system. Here are a few examples of different systems, from a simple system with only DC consumers to larger parallel and three-phase systems. 1. Simple system with only DC consumers The battery charger charges the battery and functions as a power supply for the consumers. blue power charger blue power charger 12 - 15 Amp Shore power Blue Power battery charger 2. System with inverter This system contains an inverter to ensure a supply of 230VAC at all times. Many charger models have three outputs which allow for several battery groups to...

Energy. Anytime. Anywhere. 3. Multi-functional The MultiPlus is a charger and inverter in one. It can function as a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) to ensure power supply when the input power source fails. The MultiPlus also offers several other functional advantages such as PowerControl and PowerAssist. Digital Multi Control panel PHOENIX MULTI CONTROL inverter on shore current limiter Shore power PowerAssist: boosting the capacity of shore or generator power This unique Victron feature allows the MultiPlus to supplement the capacity of the shore or generator power. Where peak power is...

Systems 5. Using a DC Generator In this MultiPlus-based system example the generator directly charges the batteries and/or feeds the inverters. This system offers a lot of advantages such as weight reduction and comfort.

Using an AC Generator This system example is based on a Quattro, which forms the heart of the system. Depending on how high the demand for power is, the Quattro will choose between battery- shore- and...

7. Parallel system Our inverters, Multis and Quattros can be paralleled to meet higher power requirements. A simple setting with our VEConfigure configuration software is sufficient. Easy to configure Configuring parallel and three phase systems is easy. Our VEConfigure software tool allows the installer to put components together, without any hardware hanges or DIP switches. Just using standard products. 8. Three-phase system Similar to connecting units in parallel they can also be connected in split-phase and three-phase configurations. 3 x MultiPlus

Accessories Our systems are comprised of various components. Some of which are specifically designed for specific markets. Other Victron components are applicable for a wide range of applications. You are able to find the specifications and other detailed information about these components in the ‘Technical Information’ section. Battery Monitor Key tasks of the Victron Battery Monitor are measuring charge and discharge currents as well as calculating the state-of-charge and time-to-go of a battery. An alarm is sent when certain limits are exceeded (such as an excessive discharge). It is...

Energy. Anytime. Anywhere, Filax 2: the ultra fast transfer switch The Filax has been designed to switch sensitive loads, such as computers or modern entertainment equipment from one AC source to another. The priority source typically is the mains, a generator or shore power. The alternate source typically is an inverter. BatteryProtect Models 12/24V: 65A, 100A & 220A Model 48V: 100A The BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non-essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine. Shore power...
