Hi everyone,
I have a MultiPlus-II 3kVA 230V next to my meter box, which is behind the wall where you see a lamp in the photo. I’m thinking of moving it to out side my front door, under the letter box.
May I get some recommendation on what box I should buy to house it? A link to an online shop would be greatly appreciated!
The Multi is not desighnt for outdoor usage.
The humidity in the air will also be present inside the cabinet due to the necessary ventilation.
Show at this installation, whitch a hole system is inide a switch cabinet
Thank you, @Sebastian! That’s exactly what I’m looking for. And, also the discussion on temperature control.
That housing is ok, but its not outside, its inside a workshop…
Yup. The moisture might be a problem. I left a question about that here, Margreet's workshop system - #15 by frank.ren

It’s worth bearing in mind that Victron equipment is made with the marine environment in mind.
If you are mindful of the IP rating I don’t think humidity will be an issue in most settings.
I have Multiplus units in all sorts of outside cabinets and enclosures without issue.
what WhiteCitySolar said
Good ventilation will help mitigate the effects of condensation as well as temperature, all my Victron Equipment (i know some Victron Equipment is conformer coated) is outside (in an open fronted barn), it about understanding your environment/equipment and taking all reasonably steps to ensure longevity and protection of your equipment.
