Hi,
I would like to add an Victron Multiplus 48/3000 with a Pylontech Battery to my existing PV System (Fronius GEN24, 10kWp, using 3 phases).
How to I connect the Victron Smart Meter to the system and how should I plan the cable circuit for the Victron Multiplus?
Many thanks!
@MB1983k A couple of basics, you would need your PV system connected to the AC in side of the inverter. OF you had a power cut, your PV could generate more energy than the inverter can manage and damage the equipment. By keeping to PV on the AC in side, when you have a power cut, it automatically stops the PV system from generating.
I've got no experience of 3 phase systems myself but fell free to have a look at my schematic of my system on the below link in the photos section. Hopefully someone with 3 phase experience will post a comment to guide you in the right direction. My 5kva PV system is on my AC out as I use my Multiplus as both a ESS and a UPS.

Many thanks for sharing your photos (I have a 4kW Multiplus II ESS on order, so v useful to see your set-up). Hope, then, you don't mind me querying the schematic? 'AC in' to the Multiplus is shown as via a 63A breaker in the Schneider 12 way panel. I see from this thread that AC in should be via an RCD device:
And, to manage discrimination (presume you have RCBOs in the main distribution panel - again, looks to be in the photos but not shown on the schematic), this thread recommends a time delay RCD on the AC input circuit:

Your photos seem to show what looks like an RCD on the AC input - is it a time delay RCD? Presume the schematic doesn't match what was actually installed? Thanks again for sharing the photos.
