  I’ve come across a setting called ‘Country/grid code standard’ in the ‘Grid’ section of the VictronConnect app, after connecting my Multiplus-II to my computer, using the MK3 USB interface device.

  However, it appears to be unavailable.

  Can you explain what this setting is intended for and why I might need to use VEConfigure for adjusting it?

  The ‘Country/grid code standard’ setting is intended to ensure that your MultiPlus inverter/charger operates in compliance with the electrical regulations and standards specific to your country or region. These standards dictate how equipment should interact with the grid, including aspects like voltage, frequency, and disconnection times during faults.

  Function:

  • This setting would typically adjust the inverter/charger to match the specific requirements of the grid to which it’s connected. This ensures safe operation and regulatory compliance, which can vary greatly between different countries and regions.

  Unavailability in VictronConnect:

  • Currently, the ability to adjust the ‘Country/grid code standard’ directly in the VictronConnect app is not available. This could be due to the complexity and critical nature of these settings, which require a more detailed configuration process.

  Use of VEConfigure:

  • VEConfigure is a more comprehensive tool provided by Victron for configuring the settings of your MultiPlus inverter/charger.

  • If your installation has to meet specific grid codes or regional electrical standards, you would use VEConfigure to adjust these settings. VEConfigure allows for a detailed setup that can match the exact requirements of local regulations, ensuring that your system is both safe and legal to operate.

  For installations that are grid-tied or where the grid code is a legal requirement, it’s essential to use VEConfigure to make these adjustments.

  Depending on your region, failure to comply with the local grid code could lead to penalties, disconnection from the grid, or even damage to the electrical network. It’s always recommended to check the regional requirements and consult a professional if you’re unsure of the settings needed for your specific location.
