    The ‘Inverter Frequency’ setting on your MultiPlus-II 230V is important because it determines the frequency of the AC power output when the inverter is operating on battery power. Here’s how to change this setting and its significance:

    Accessing the Setting:

    • To change the ‘Inverter Frequency,’ you will need the Interface MK3-USB, which allows you to connect the MultiPlus-II to a computer.

    • With the MK3-USB interface connected, you can use Victron’s VEConfigure tools software or the VictronConnect app to access and adjust the inverter settings.

    Adjusting Inverter Frequency:

    • Once in the configuration software or app, you can change the ‘Inverter Frequency’ setting from its default of 50 Hz to 60 Hz or vice versa.

    • This adjustment is necessary if you’re operating equipment that requires a specific frequency and you’re using the inverter in a location with a different standard frequency or in an off-grid setup.

    Impact of Frequency Change:

    • The output frequency affects all AC-powered devices connected to the inverter. It’s important to ensure that your devices can operate at the frequency you select to avoid potential damage or operational issues.

    • Most modern electronic devices are designed to work with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, but always check the specifications of your devices to be certain.

    When the Setting is Used:

    • The ‘Inverter Frequency’ setting is used when there is no AC input and the MultiPlus-II is providing power from the batteries. When AC input is present, the inverter will pass through the incoming AC frequency unchanged.
