xVictron MultiPlus 48/3000/35-16 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger
The Victron MultiPlus 48/3000/35-16 is a combined inverter and battery charger in a single unit, designed for 48V battery systems operating at 230V AC. It is suited to off-grid installations, backup power systems, and marine or vehicle applications where reliable AC output and intelligent battery charging are required in one compact package.
Key Features
- 3000VA continuous inverter output at 230V AC from a 48V DC battery bank.
- 35A battery charger with adaptive charge algorithm to suit a range of battery chemistries.
- 16A AC transfer switch for seamless changeover between shore/generator power and inverter output.
- VE.Bus communication interface for system integration, parallel operation, and three-phase configuration.
- PowerControl function limits AC input current draw to prevent overloading a generator or shore supply.
- PowerAssist function supplements AC input with battery power during peak demand, allowing a smaller AC source to be used.
- Configurable via VE.Bus and compatible with Victron GX devices for remote monitoring and control.
Product Overview
The MultiPlus 48/3000/35-16 combines a pure sine wave inverter with a multi-stage battery charger. When AC input is available from a generator or shore supply, the unit passes power through to connected loads and simultaneously charges the battery bank. When AC input is lost or disconnected, the unit switches to inverter mode automatically. The transfer time is fast enough for most computers and sensitive equipment.
The VE.Bus interface is central to the unit's flexibility. Multiple MultiPlus units can be connected in parallel to increase output capacity, or configured for split-phase or three-phase systems. This makes the unit suitable not just for standalone installations but also as a building block in larger, more complex energy systems. Integration with Victron GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX) enables full system monitoring, remote configuration, and data logging via the VRM portal.
PowerControl and PowerAssist are particularly useful where the available AC source is limited. PowerControl caps the current drawn from the AC input to a user-defined limit, protecting generators or weak grid connections. PowerAssist goes further by drawing additional power from the battery when loads exceed what the AC source can supply, then recharging the battery when demand drops. This allows a smaller, more economical generator to be used without risk of overload.

Installation Notes
The MultiPlus 48/3000/35-16 must be installed by a qualified electrician familiar with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring. Connections to the battery bank must be correctly rated for the current involved, and appropriate DC fusing must be fitted close to the battery terminals. Where the unit is used in a grid-connected or generator-connected installation, all AC wiring must comply with current UK wiring regulations (BS 7671). For any grid-tied or export-capable configuration, G98 or G99 compliance requirements must be assessed and met. VE.Bus configuration should be carried out using Victron's VEConfigure software or a compatible GX device. Do not attempt to configure parallel or three-phase systems without appropriate technical knowledge of VE.Bus architecture.
