Hi @Dane

Local certifications requirements are best directed towards the local dealers:

If they are unable to help, then please next try and contact the Victron Sales Managers for your area.

There is no better source of info and updates than those channels for these issues.

Hi, Also keen for the multiplus 2 to be approved by SA Power. They say the manufacture Victron needs to apply for this under the CEC approved list of voltage ride through. See response from SAPN-


For an inverter to be compliant and able to be installed in South Australia it must have Voltage Ride Through. The Clean Energy Council maintains a list of all inverters that are Voltage Ride Through compliant (which you can find here VDRT-inverters-list.pdf (cleanenergycouncil.org.au)). The Victron inverters are not on their list, which is why they are not available for selection on our application form.

To have the Victron added to the CEC list of Voltage Ride Through compliant inverters you should speak to Victron so they can arrange to have it added to the list.

Hi @Bones75,

In these situations the Victron dealer in that region will usually be aware of the situation (because it will be being asked of them by their customers), so they contact their Victron regional sales manager who is responsible for communicating regional issues (like specialised compliance lists) to the head office, and then reporting back to the dealers to tell their customers.
