My system:
L1 mp2 5000 ( ve.bus)
L2 sb4000 lt20 ( ET112)
L3 SB4000 lt 21 ( lan modbus tcp)
Grid meter Vm-3p75ct
My probleem:
ET112 can only be conected to the phase the multiplus uses ?
Where can i set the ET112 that’s mesuring my old sma inverter (without modbus or internet capability) to the right phase
And im not allowed to wire up the inverter to my mp2 5000 because in belgium we are only allowed a 5kw inballance
If it is configured as a mains sensor, the system always starts from L1, the phase on which the Multi is located.
However, if you configure the Et112 as PV, the system does not care because it is calculated and displayed as PV.
Not grid … but as PV
you make the setting in the console under the Et112 … and where it is connected … AC in or AC out
Thanks just wired it up so tomorrow we will see how it behaves
My sma “lt21” can be asigned a phase so that got me worried
Thats not what i want
Do you see the issue my “load” side of the dashboard is completely wrong
The ET112 is completely useless in my system like this
Its destructive to the ess calculations
The ET112 is not completely useless … you can only use it as a single-phase meter on L1 … PV or grid . The system always assumes that the meter is on L1 … the phase of the multiphase … is used.
The meter counts everything correctly … but the system always includes its values in the calculation of L1 … which is why the PV yield also has the addition ‘L1’
If you have connected it to L2, the Et112 does not work for the correct calculation
Im not allowed to conect the solar panels to the same phase as the mp2
So what i want to know is if their is any place i can change this phase
Or if victron has been made aware of this isue?
And if they are working on a fix ?
I already found 6 more issues in the comunity directly related to the ET112 inability to messure a specific phase
But this is also how it is described in the illustrated instructions … ALWAYS ON L1 AND THE PHASE OF THE MULTIS … this is not an error on the part of Victron but an incorrect use on the part of the customer … I use a 3-phase EM24, ET340 … here you can choose the phases …
True a 3f meter to mesure a single phase load does work
Its just a waste of money and space in my fuseboard
the EM24 would be the right meter if you connect the Multi via L1 and a PV inverter via L2 …You can set this function here
Nope thats not what that setting means
It means you can use phase 1 as grid meter and phase 2 of the em24 as pv inverter meter
If they are both bridged together on L1
I agree with you 
… I really thought it was a “real double function” on several phases
Just a question am i right that setting the phase on the ET112 would be a great feature
that would be a small thing that would make life easier for many users …
