    I’m looking at the ‘Inverter’ settings section in the VictronConnect app for my MultiPlus inverter and would like to understand each setting and feature. Can you explain what each option does?

    The ‘Inverter’ settings section in the VictronConnect app contains various options that control the operation of your MultiPlus inverter. Here’s a detailed explanation of each setting and feature:

    • Inverter output voltage: Sets the voltage level that the inverter will provide to your connected devices. The standard setting is usually 230V to match typical home and office appliances.

    • Ground relay: This function relates to the inverter’s safety feature, which involves grounding. When enabled, it can help protect against electric shock and ensure the inverter is properly grounded.

    • DC input low-shutdown: Specifies the DC voltage level at which the inverter will shut down to protect the batteries from over-discharging. For instance, a setting of 48V means the inverter will turn off if the battery voltage drops to this level.

    • DC input low restart: This is the voltage level at which the inverter will restart after a low voltage shutdown.

    • DC input low pre-alarm: Sets a warning level, here the set voltage triggers an alarm before reaching the shutdown voltage, allowing for proactive measures to prevent shutdown.

    • Low SOC shutdown: This feature will shut down the inverter if the battery’s state of charge drops to a certain level to prevent battery damage. It can be enabled or disabled according to your energy management needs.

    • AES (Automatic Energy Saving): This mode conserves battery energy when there is little or no load connected to the inverter. It can be set to start and stop at specified power levels, for example, starting AES when the load is less than 30W and stopping when higher than 60W.

    • PowerAssist: This feature allows the inverter to assist the AC input when the load exceeds the AC input current limit, preventing the main fuse from blowing during peak demands.

    • Assist current boost factor: This sets a multiplier for the AC input current limit to determine the additional current the inverter will supply during assistance. A factor of 2.0 means the inverter can provide twice the current of the AC input limit when needed.

    These settings are crucial for tailoring the inverter’s performance to your specific power needs and ensuring the longevity and safety of your battery storage system. Adjustments should be made with a thorough understanding of how they will affect your system’s operation.
