Applications      

This unit combines an inverter, battery charger and automatic switchover device in a single compact housing.

It is used in both the marine and mobile market, where space is at a premium.

 This combined unit from Victron Energie is used in many ‘non-standard‘ applications including aid and military organizations.    
Automatic Switchover   Separate battery charging systems for two groups

The inverter is automatically switched off as soon as the 230 VAC mains, shore or generator voltage is available. The 230 VAC loads are instantly supplied with power by the mains, from the shore, or the generator.

The charger automatically charges the batteries. In the event of disconnection from the mains, the shore or the generator voltage,

the inverter section of the combined unit automatically takes over the supply of 230 VAC to any equipment you have connected to the output of the Multi.

This takes place so quickly that computers and electronic clocks continue to function without any disruption.

The Phoenix Multi's have a fully automatic three-stage battery charger (see table for charging current specifications).

There is a second, low current, output for the charging of a starter battery.

The charging voltages and currents can be adjusted so that the charger can be ideally adapted to suit all types of batteries.

Completely Protected Temperature Sensors

The operational reliability of the Phoenix Multi is extremely high as a result of the many built-in safety features.

Thus, it is protected against short-circuit, overload and ripple voltage and it has a reverse polarity protection.
Important Characteristics of the Phoenix Multi's

  
Temperature-compensated charging Efficiency Management - Phoenix Fast change-over
Sealed and unsealed batteries are best charged if the charging voltage is right for the temperature of the battery. A temperature sensor ensures that, if the battery temperature is too high, the charging voltage is reduced. This sensor is supplied as a standard on the Phoenix units and is an option on the Atlas range. Special attention has been made in the design stage to ensure extremely low internal power consumption if there is no load. As a result, an economy position is superfluous and all small loads, such as clocks, electronic displays and any equipment connected in a stand-by mode will continue to function normally. The change-over time between Shore or generator and the inverter is approximately 20m/s. This change-over is fast enough to protect computer data and other sensitive loads.
Voltage Sensing Shore power control - Phoenix Pure Sinewave
The product manual states the recommended battery cable diameter. However, voltage losses often occur in an installation as a result of long battery cables or other factors and this may result in the charging of the battery not being ideal. The standard Phoenix Combi is therefore fitted with a voltage sensing system. The battery charger uses two measuring wires (sense+ and sense-) to measure the actual charging voltage across the battery and automatically increases the charging voltage so that the set charging voltage is available at the battery terminals. A frequently occurring problem in marinas, is the limited shore power supply, which in many cases is too low. Consequently, the Phoenix Combi is equipped with a shore current control. On switching over to shore power, the maximum current can be adjusted by means of the remote panel (available as an option). The sine-wave combi unit will now automatically control the distribution of the available power between the 230 VAC loads on board and the battery. The Phoenix range from Victron utilises pure sine wave technology.

The output from the Phoenix range is identical to the power you get from the Utility Company.

Sine wave units have universal application with the only constraint, in the past, being the high amounts of start up power required by some equipment (motors, compressors etc.).
