Discharge is always limited to 1500W max

Dear community,

I have a victron Multiplus 48/5000 which charges fine at max capacity but when it comes to discharging will not go above 1500w. I have played with ALL the settings and tried out 3 different BMS (all JK) wich makes me pretty confident that it has something to do with my invertor settings, but I can’t figure out what it is. The CCL and DCL are set by the BMS but ignored by the invertor. When I change the max CCL from 200 to 100amps the output drops from 28amps to 14 amps.

Who can help me out with this?


Hi if there are no loads to power, the system will not do more than needed

Whats your grid setpoint?
Do you have an energy meter?
How much battery do you have?
Are assistants loaded? (Ess?)

Why are you exporting 718Watt with only 152Watt from solar? That looks like a grid setpoint issue.

Hello!
I got the same problem, witch battery are you using?
Today i was in touch with Victron about this problem, after hours of trying they found no problem in my settings.

Hi Marc,

Grid setpoint is 0
Yes energy meter is installed
15KW battery with 200A BMS (DCL and CCL 200A)
ESS loaded and DESS active

I have tried the system and under all conditions ESS/DESS/O-meter all limit discharge to only 1500W, when I disconnect from the grid the victron does ramp up to the required power (which was 50 amps during the test).

So what is your next step now? I use Envision ESS 72173207 - 305Ah Pro - LiFePO4 3.2V - Grade A which are capable of the full capacity of my 48/5000.

This was during the early evening, but the problem is that my DESS/ESS/0-meter does not discharge more than 1500W under any condition.

Hi Nonkeldw,

Were you able to solve the issue? I was! As it turns out there is a setting called Hub4-setpoint which was somehow stuck at 15%, the Victron tech-guy has reset this setting and now I am able to discharge at full capacity!! It is a setting that the user cannot directly access. Regarding the cause of the issue, I suspect it might have had something to do with my Home Assistant integration plugin for Victron, but I can’t be sure. Hope this helps you. Good luck with your installation.
