If having a 5 kVA inverter how is it possible to get more kw out of the charger than the inverter is rated

[@markhetherington2809]

The Victron inverters generally have a higher passthrough rating (from the AC input) than the inverter rating. The passthrough might be 15 kVA on a 5 kVA unit. I don't think that gives you 20kVA output, though you can if your input is limited boost it with the inverter capacity. e.g. if your connection is limited to 5kVA, you can get 10 kVA out by combining the grid connection and batteries.

@markhetherington2809 yes I understand that thanks . What I meant to say is in offgrid application the charger would only be limited by the inverter max rating output? Unless you have a gridtie inverter on ac-output also?

[@markhetherington2809]

@@PhillipFourieZA yes, unless you also have a solar inverter producing energy, or some other source of power like a generator in an off grid installation you'd be limited to the conversion capacity of the battery inverter and available battery energy.

@@markhetherington2809 I will be reviewing the Multi RS soon this has some other tricks to produce more AC solar than the rated capacity

Looking forward to your next videos. Not much content about this.

Thanks I want o include the new Modle as well

Hello,
WHen you are off grid, is the charger able to throttle up and down depending on the available PV power ? How do the charger know how much is available, cause i can't see any way for it to do .. !
I'm pretty sad they do not have CCS an DC in, that would prevent to waste power in the inverter and wear it by using a 48V battery input/mppt output.

[@alanfalck1184]

@davidniquot6423 Hi so the battery BMS CAN will controll the charge by the inverter. The AC loads will either be serviced by solar in the day or battery (or both). Not sure I've addressed yr question ?

[@rvdende]

Can the system run in reverse where the EV battery can feed back to help run the inverter?

[@alanfalck1184]

Not yet

[@rudisoft]

Can we also have a video of the victron energy ns?

[@alanfalck1184]

Hi yes indeed in fact the release of the NS has delayed my part II so I can cover both :)

[@alanfalck1184]

HiI requested an NS Demo device (No Screen ) but no response thus far

[@tirivaenim]

IP67 is best for outdoor, how good is IP44?

[@alanfalck1184]

Hi I'll be testing this in the next video

[@TobotronPrime]

there is a new model out - I don't think the model in this video will be available for too much longer although the new model is still IP44

[@alanfalck1184]

Yes hope to review the new modle soon
