Hello!
I can't find a diagram on how to connect two 220v Multiplus 12/1600/70 in series to double the watts.
I am attaching a pic, if someone could show pls..
Or you set them via software?
Any help is appreciated!

Two Multiplus in Series - How?
Running them in series is possible, but not an officially supported configuration. Your shore power feeds into the 1st MP. Then the AC out from the 1st MP goes into the AC in of the 2nd MP. The output from the 2nd MP then goes to the load. They can run from different batteries.
The recommended way to double the output with 2 units is to run them in parallel. This will require configuring the units as Master and slave with (free, downloadable) software. You will also need a VE.bus to USB adaptor and a computer. The shore power is split and taken to both units. The AC output from both units is also joined before going to the load. There also needs to be a VE.bus connection between them and they must run from the same battery bank. All of the cable lengths for both AC and DC wiring must be of equal length to each unit for them to run correctly.
Appropriately sized fuses/ breakers and appropriate thickness cables must also be used.
If you intend doing this you should look through the (free) online training on the Victron professional portal before attempting it.
Yes.
Connecting correctly in parallel as described will double power and battery charging current. As well as the amount of power assist. Bestake sure your cabling is able to handle the extra power.
hi, you're welcome!
yes, the new schematic should work, for safety i would suggest an fuse/breaker on the 230v output to
