I'm helping a friend with a van build. He has a Multiplus 3000 and a Phoenix 1200 ve.direct. He wants to have the phoenix for always on AC for a smaller AC loads and a smaller standby current. I assumed they can't be paralleled so they are going to run independent of each other with dedicated circuits. My question is about control. Can you hook both a VE.BUS Multi and a VE.Direct Phoenix to the CCGX so you can turn them on and off?
Hi @nebulight
You can indeed turn both on and off independently.
What I have done in my boat: a small (800VA) inverter with a dedicated circuit (fridge, lighting, internet, some sockets for laptop / phone chargers etc), and the rest of the circuits powered by a Quattro that only runs when I need it or when there is excess solar power.
Otherwise you could use a transfer switch, to have either the small or the bigger inverter power the system.
