Choose between Multi RS Solar and Multiplus II 6k5 (50hz humming)

Hi there,

In the coming months we will be installing a victron energie management setup. Three phases, 32kWh (2x Nkon 16kWh Pro) batteries. The setup will be placed in a wooden shed in the back of our garden (thermo-isolated). Next to the shed is a lounge where we will sit during summer, and the back of the shed is against the garden of our neighbours. The MP 6k5 uses a coil to generate the 50hz, and the multi RS solid state technology (zero humming sounds, except for the fans). Now my question:

Will the Multiplus 6k5 generate such a lot of humming vibrations that my shed will effectively become a soundbox, resonating the 50hz so we can’t sit outside in the lounge, or even worse the neighbours start to complain? Or can this be solved with some simple vibration pads between the MP and the wooden wall?
Otherwise a Multi RS (more expensive) seems the only way to get the conversion power without the humming (50hz) sound. The nice thing of the Multi RS is that i can put some additional solar panels on the shed in the future, as the pv inverters are already there.

Can anyone elaborate on that? Or have experience with this?

All feedback is welcome :wink:

Thanks

How noisy is the 6k5 anyway? More or less humming sound then the regular mp series? This model is so new nobody had the chance to compare I guess.

I have the RS 6000, only sound of the fan, no PC hardware required, but no 2 phase operation or parallel operation possible.

I had one MP5000 and planned to go full 3 phase setup. But even with soundproving dovels (Schallschutzdübel) the humm was going into the outer wall of the house. So I opted for 3 x RS6000. The only sound coming from the fans.
