Hi. I’ve just installed a 24V Victron NG lithium system on a new Narrowboat in the UK with 2* 24V 300Ah NG batteries.
There was some discussion with surveyor/system designer about using the ‘remote’ and Lynx contactor as the main isolator and if it was sufficient - rather than a main physical isolator switch. We decided it was better using the remote as so much more accessible and means leaving the neat Lynx system design as it is. And we have isolators after the Lynx Distributor for MultiPlus …
Thanks for reply and the link, I will study that next. Understood and agreed, I guess I have no logical reason to believe that it wouldn’t work as expected just because of this particular behavior with the remote switch. Disconnecting the B.T.V cables does indeed drop the M.P.P.T output to 0A. So that control aspect has been tested and confirmed.
Do you have any thoughts on the second item I had listed by any chance please? The work around on this is to simply alter the current limit value or …
I have ensured that it has got to the notice of Victron so I expect that it will be sorted at some point.
Even if remote, you should be able to use VictronConnect via VRM to turn the MPPT off. If the ATC port is free on the BMS you could always connect the MPPT remote terminal to that as another workaround.
