Greetings, Can I use the Victron 3000 as inverter and battery charge at the same time?
The Victron 3000, it's going to be dedicated for the air condition unit 24/7.
If I connected the boat to shore power, can I use it to charge the batteries?, and supply the 120 VAC to the air condition unit?
Thank you
Typically a Multiplus or Quattro will 'passthru' from shore power to load, then use any remaining power capacity (below the ac input limit you have set) to charge batts.
If you overload the set shore limit, it will invert to add to the shore power supply. At that point it stops charging of course as the current in the batt wires has reversed direction. Great for start spikes, etc.
Cut the load, it will use all shore to charge. Cut the shore, it will invert for the load.
So it can do both, usually changing seamlessly. But not both at exactly the same time. No need..
