4.7. Connection of the AC cabling

This is a safety class I product (supplied with a ground terminal for safety purposes). Its AC input and/or
output terminals and/or grounding point on the inside of the product must be provided with an
uninterruptible grounding point for safety purposes. see Appendix A.
In a fixed installation, an uninterruptible grounding can be secured by means of the grounding wire of the AC
input. Otherwise the casing must be grounded.
This product is provided with a ground relay (relay H, see Appendix B) that automatically connects the
Neutral output to the chassis if no external AC supply is available. If an external AC supply is provided,
the ground relay H will open before the input safety relay closes. This ensures the correct operation of an
earth leakage circuit breaker that is connected to the output.
In a mobile installation (for example, with a shore current plug), interrupting the shore connection will
simultaneously disconnect the grounding connection. In that case, the casing must be connected to the
chassis (of the vehicle) or to the hull or grounding plate (of the boat). In case of a boat, direct connection to
the shore ground is not recommended because of potential galvanic corrosion. The solution to this is using an
isolation transformer.
The terminal blocks can be found on the printed circuit board, see Appendix A.
Do not invert neutral and phase when connecting the AC.
The inverter does NOT provide full galvanic isolation between the PV DC input and AC output. Therefor it is possible that DC
voltage and current from the DC PV connections could be detected on the AC side.
Full galvanic isolation is provided between PV DC, and Battery DC.
• AC-in The AC input cable can be connected to the terminal block 'AC–in'. From left to right: "L" (phase), "PE" (earth) and "N"
(neutral) The AC input must be protected by a fuse or magnetic circuit breaker rated at 32A or less, and cable cross-
section must be sized accordingly. If the input AC supply is rated at a lower value, the fuse or magnetic circuit breaker
should be down sized accordingly.
• AC-out-1 The AC output cable can be connected directly to the terminal block 'AC-out'. From left to right: ","L" (phase) "PE"
(earth) and "N" (neutral) With its PowerAssist feature the Multi can add up to 6kVA (that is 6000 / 230 = 26A) to the output
during periods of peak power requirement. Together with a maximum input current of 31A this means that the output can supply
up to 31 + 26 = 57 A. An earth leakage circuit breaker and a fuse or circuit breaker rated to support the expected load must be
included in series with the output, and cable cross-section must be sized accordingly.
• AC-out-2 A second output is available that disconnects its load in the event of battery-only operation. On these terminals,
equipment is connected that may only operate if AC voltage is available on AC-in-1, e.g. an electric boiler or an air conditioner.
The load on AC-out-2 is disconnected immediately when the inverter/charger switches to battery operation. After AC power
becomes available on AC-in-1, the load on AC-out-2 will be reconnected with a delay of approximately 2 minutes.

4.8. VE.Direct

This can be used to connect a PC/laptop to configure the inverter with a VE.Direct to USB accessory. Can also be used to
connect a Victron GlobalLink 520 to allow for remote data monitoring.
Note the VE.Direct port on the Multi RS Solar cannot be used to connect to a GX device, and the VE.Can connection must be
used instead.

4.9. VE.Can

Used to connect to a GX Device, and/or daily-chain communications to other VE.Can compatible products such as the VE.Can
MPPT range.
