1200 VA – 5000 VA (per module)
SinusMax - Superior engineering
Developed for professional duty, this range of inverters is suitable for the widest range of applications. The design
criteria have been to produce a true sine wave inverter with optimized efficiency but without compromise in
performance. Employing hybrid HF technology, the result is a top quality product with compact dimensions, light
in weight and capable of supplying power, problem-free, to any load.
Extra start-up power
A unique feature of the SinusMax technology is very high start-up power. Conventional high frequency
technology does not offer such extreme performance. The Inverters, however, are well suited to power up difficult
loads such as refrigeration compressors, electric motors and similar appliances.
Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel and 3-phase operation capability
Up to 6 units inverters can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Six 24/5000 units, for example, will
provide 24 kW / 30 kVA output power. Operation in 3-phase configuration is also possible.
Inverter 24/5000
To transfer the load to another AC source: the automatic transfer switch
If an automatic transfer switch is required we recommend using the MultiPlus inverter/charger instead. The switch
is included in these products and the charger function of the MultiPlus can be disabled. Computers and other
electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption because the MultiPlus features a very short
switchover time (less than 20 milliseconds).
Communications interface
These larger inverter models come with a VE.Bus port. All you need to connect to your PC is our MK3-USB VE.Bus
to USB interface (see under accessories). Together with our VictronConnect or VEConfigure software, which can
be downloaded free of charge from our website, parameters of the inverters can be customized. This includes
output voltage and frequency, over and under voltage settings and programming the relay. This relay can for
example be used to signal several alarm conditions, or to start a generator. The inverters can also be connected
to a GX device (eg Cerbo GX) for monitoring and control.
New applications of high power inverters
The possibilities of paralleled high power inverters are truly amazing. For ideas, examples and battery capacity
calculations please refer to our book ‘Energy Unlimited’ (available free of charge from Victron Energy and
downloadable from www.victronenergy.com).
