Two different size multi plus in parralel

Hi there.


I would like to ask if it's possible to run two different size multiples in parralel operation with the communication cable between?


I have an multiples 1600VA, but would like to run it in parallel with a multiplus 3000VA.


both are 12 volt

Thank you

This is not permissible, the two units must be the same size units using the same firmware. Please read more on this here: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ve.bus:manual_parallel_and_three_phase_systems

As Anthony said, it is not possible. But you could consider using cascade configuration. See:

Note: at the time I wasn't aware of what split phase really means. Splite phase is different from AC out independent lines.
