Hello , I got an issue with my multiplus 48V 3000VA , I would it to be fixed .
But first , I want to buy another one 5000VA . I just want to know how to choose it to be able to plug and connect easily without changing a lot a things . I look for a 5000VA/48V inverter .
I have a MPPT working good and another one to replace it so I just want an inverter doing the same thing with more power .
My question is : Is there a device same as the MultiPlus-II 48/3000/35-32 with a power of 5000VA ?

Edit : It seems that this is the one I want : Victron Energy - MultiPlus-II 48V/230V 5000VA 70A-50A ref PMP482505010

Thanks for your reply

Should be at least 70mm2

if longer then 5m it should be 2x 70mm2

Ok , thanks Marc . So I got the right reference for the inverter I think .

i know victron recommends 70mm2 cables for the MP2-48-5000 but i installed mine with 35mm2 cables with length of 1,1 meter. These are fused with 125A mega fuses in the lynx distributer. The max seen temperature on those cables are 56,7 °C and they are within a cable duct with several other cables. If i could do it again i would upgrade to 50mm2 but everything beyond is overkill and only necessary if you have long cables.

The Victron toolkit voltage drop suggests 10mm2 cable for 125A 48V and 2 meter length.
