Q: Is there a Bluetooth App that can interact with this unit like what is available for the MPPT 100/20 and BMV-712?

Asked by: Bob Pogue - 7/15/2018

A: There is a Bluetooth adapter available that can be used for basic functions like on/off, charge current adjustment* and status reporting. It can't currently be used for programming. This is the VE Bus Smart dongle and the part number is ASS030537010

*Charge current adjustment not available when used with Victron Smart Lithium Batteries and VE Bus BMS

Q: Can this be mounted with zero overhead clearance.... up against a ceiling ?

Asked by: Davew - 11/3/2017

A: The instruction manual requires you to have some clearance around this unit for ventilation and recommends 10 cm on all sides.

The way this mounts is you screw a bracket to the wall then you hang the inverter on the bracket. Because of that you need a small clearance to lift it over the bracket. On my demo system I wanted it as close as possible to the ceiling and it ended up when installed about 1/2" clearance. See our short video in the "additional information" tab.

Q: Several bloggers state they have talked with Victron in the past about 3000W Multi Plus units not being compatible with Lithium Iron phosphate Battery Banks, but I see Peter Kennedy posted on 11/9/2018 about the Multi Plus unit stating, "It is especially programmable for use with Lithium Ion battery systems." Is Peter only referring to the 2000W units, or are all Multi Plus units now Lithium compatible? I'm specifically interested in the Multi Plus 12V/3000W/120-50 120V VE.Bus Inverter/Charger PMP123021102.

Asked by: B Miller - 5/10/2019

A: All of the VE Bus inverter chargers and Quattros are equally programmable. This has the be the most programmable system out there, just about everything is adjustable. You can program it to do more stuff than you could possibly imagine. Take a look at my Blog for several articles about programming.

Q: Can this be mounted on a horizontal surface, such as a shelf?

Asked by: Ben - 10/9/2019

A: We often get asked if these items can be mounted lying down. This attachment method will work in that orientation just fine, you just have to make sure the device is firmly seated on the bracket because you wont have gravity to help you. With the device lying down it will not have natural convection to assist the fan for cooling purposes. That means you need to take additional care to ensure it is in a location with adequate space and ventilation. If it becomes too warm the fan will run longer and output will be reduced.

Q: If I have this connected to shore power. My rv has a 400Ah lithium ion battery bank. How long would it take to charge my batteries if they were drawn down to 20%? Thank you

Asked by: Randy - 10/29/2018

It is a 120 Amp charger. If your 400 amp hour lithium battery is down 20% then you need to charge it back 80 Amp hours so that would take about 40 minutes.

Q: In your videos you mention having a DC Disconnect. In my system I plan to have a BlueSea remote disconnect switch at the DC panel. Is this an appropriate method for disconnecting the Inverter when NOT on shore power or is the remote required?

Asked by: Blackburn Eric - 7/29/2019

A: Having a DC disconnect is an ABYC requirement and is in addition to any remote panel you may decide to install. A DC disconnect provides a secure way to de-power the system for maintenance or troubleshooting purposes, or to turn it off in the event of a malfunction, or for winter storage.

Q: What are the dimensions of the Victron 3000 inverter/charger in inches installed? I have a very tight place I'm looking at mounting it with room for ventilation

Asked by: Gregg L Hershberger - 2/27/2020

A: The size is 14.3 x 10.2 x 8.6 inches You need to allow some room to lift it over the mounting bracket, room for the cables to come in, and room for ventilation, so don't make it too tight!

Q: What is the ac input current for this unit?

Asked by: Larry - 2/28/2020

A: The AC input current limit is 50 amps and this is a combination of the power that it can carry through to the AC loads and the power that is is using for charging the batteries. The limit can be permanently adjusted in the software of if you get one of the remote controls available it can be adjusted on the fly as needed. The maximum amount of power that it can consume for charging is limited by its 120 Amp charge rating and so that translates to approximately 12 Amps at 120 volts. The maximum charge current can be adjusted permanently in the software or on the fly as described in the paragraph above. When an input current limit has been set in the remote the charge current will automatically adjust to keep the total consumption within the limits set.
