Maximum input current limit with multiplus II 48/5000/70-50 is 32A?

In the manual of the multiplus II 48/5000 / 70-50 it is written that the maximum input current limit can be set up to a maximum of 32A. At multiplus 48/5000 / 70-50 that is 50A. Is it correct that with multiplus II this is only 32A? I haven't tested it yet

Hi Jos. Can you link us to where you've seen this?

All I can find is stuff like this: https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/MultiPlus-II-to-MultiGrid-and-MultiPlus-comparison-EN.pdf

Which isn't defined as a 'limit', rather a transfer switch rating.

Yeh, ok. Well spotted. It's also mentioned on Page 9, but then also talks 3kVA for PowerAssist.

I suspect a 'remnant' from a staggered product release, but I'll see if I can rouse a definitive answer from a Victron staffer.

No more definitive than the CEO. Sunday too. Thanks Matthijs.

Hi,

Max input current limit for that model = 50A.

Transferswitch rating is the a different word for the same thing. We’ll fix this in the manual. Thanks!

Ok thanks, it's clear now. My project has 3 phase 40 A available, but sometimes I need a maximum of 60 A for a short time. I can now build the power assist installation with 3 X multiplus II.
