Inverters are made to be utilised in many wide and varied applications. The Victron Inverters are quite a compact unit, that don't take up much 'space' (always a major consideration) to assist with boosting power needs.

Here at KLM, we install Victron Inverter/Chargers into motor homes, boats, horse trucks, work trailers, basically anywhere that extra power is needed. The most important aspect of the Victron range of Inverters is that they are of 'Pure Sinewave'. Always be sure to check for a 'Pure Sinewave' unit, don't settle for anything less that 'Pure'

Some Caravans and Motor Homes don't have the 'space' to install a larger Onan Generator, for example a 3.6 MicroQuiet. With space limited, these owners are going for a 2.3 MicroLite with a Victron Inverter. These 2 units together would then have the equal power capacity of the 3.6 MicroQuiet.

The Phoenix MultiPlus range of Inverter/Chargers will work as both a Battery Charger & and Inverter.

This works as follows.

> Your generator is running, the power not being used is diverted into the Victron Phoenix MultiPlus  Inverter/Charger - automatically set to Battery Charger mode. So, this left over power is charging your batteries.

> Your generator is running, powering the AirCon, microwave etc. If you tuned on, say a spotlight or toaster, that went over the generators power capabilities the Victron Phoenix MultiPlus  Inverter/Charger would immediately recognise this and automatically switch from battery charger mode to Inverter mode, and cover the extra power usage required.

This unit is not made to run as an Inverter for hours at a time, but it will run long enough for Eg to boil a kettle or use the toaster. But could not be used to run say, the AirCon. A dedicated Inverter would be required for that.

This unit certainly simplifies the need to have an Inverter & a battery charger installed.
