Split phase 120/240 hardware

A Canadian here, seems like alot of the victron gear is aimed towards single phase stuff…

I use a multiplus ii 2x120v in my rv which works perfectly as the load center just splits the 120v into 2 banks with no true split phase 240v being used by anything

I have been looking at installing a system in my house (120/240v split phase) and the multiplus and Quattro 2x120v do not offer split phase 240v from the inverter, only pass-through split phase from grid/gen.

Am I missing something in the product lineup or Is my only option to use a pair of single phase inverters linked for split phase operation?

Yes, two multiplus or two quattros configured for split phase is how it is done.
There are Victron example schematics showing how to wire them (shared neutral).

A single multplus or quattro with an autotransformer is also possible.
I do not recommend this approach for a house, due to neutral current limitations.

Thanks, I figured thats the only way to do it with victron gear.

A side question (sorry just thought of it, and can’t recall seeing anything in my travels). if I go with multiple inverters to do this, can they run on a common battery bank or do they require separate banks? The drawings I have come across haven’t shown them as a “common” bank

Most definitely, they run on one battery bank.
Two would actually be hard to manage with a Victron system.

In my setup, the battery stack feeds a + DC busbar, with MEGA fuses for all loads, including two Quattros for split phase.

You can disregard the autotransformer in this schematic, it just balances the loads on the inverters and is optional.

Thanks, I’ve looked through those drawings. I was just hoping their was a better/more simple option that offers split phase inverter operation
