You would have to increase your battery and change your inverter to a larger model if you don’t want to be limited to 5kVA.
It is not a wiring problem but an equipment problem.
No, when I say that the Victron is limited to 5 kVA, I simply mean that when the Victron cannot supply any more power, the main power supply to the house automatically takes over and provides the additional power required.
The reason being your batteries are too small.
Up 2000 are only rated to discharge at 25 each so 50a max at 48 volts that is 2400 watts. They are already allowing twice what they are designed form
You will hurt those batteries doing more.
What size is your inverter?
1x Pylontech us5000 4.8
Victron multiplus 2 gx 48V 5000va
So you are doing the 5000 the inverter is able to do. It cannot do more.
This is 100A batery so it can do only 5000watts.
Your system is performing correctly at 5000watts. More will cause damage
Okay, do you know how to connect everything shown on the diagram I made myself, please?
Everything you need is in the manual
Programming here
But if you don’t know the basics like line and neutral and earth its best to get someone qualified in to do it.
All I need is simply for someone to tell me where to connect the live and neutral wires from the Victron in the AC distribution box, and where to run the cables from the AC box to my electrical panel. I also need to know where to connect the cables coming from my electrical grid supply—whether they should remain connected to my house’s electrical panel or be connected to the Victron.
Thank you anyway for your help.
The manual has it and the terminals are labelled
Don’t mix up line neutral and ground
It is in the manual. But you are asking questions that make me concerned for your safety as they show zero basic electrial knowledge.
Do you even know what you’re doing?
You apparently have absolutely no technical knowledge!
Go to an electrician!
With respect, this is the most basic requirement to even trying to tackle a project like this.
If you have not been able to work this out having consulted the manuals available then, in the interest of safety, please get an experienced electrician and installer to help you.
It only gets more complicated from here, and a mistake isn’t just expensive it is potentially dangerous.
I installed the electrical panel in my house myself, as well as eight solar panels, and I had no problem reading the wiring diagrams. They were simple: three wires going to the same place, into the ready-made electrical enclosure I bought.
And now it’s the same thing with the Victron and the batteries. I can easily connect the batteries to the Victron and to the DC enclosure — it’s straightforward, two cables, two inputs and outputs.
But with the AC enclosure, I don’t understand how it is supposed to be connected. Where do the AC OUT and AC IN cables go, and where do they connect to? How do I connect the Victron to my house’s electrical grid?
And nobody seems to be able to answer this very simple question for someone who understands electricity.
Please help me if you have experience with electrical work. I would really appreciate it.
