Victron Compact inverters - no AC input

Q&A and troubleshooting

10 years ago the Victron compact series of inverters had an AC input for charging and a Transfer switch built in. The positions for these components are still on the boards, but not populated.

When did Victron drop these off? This is a mistake in my opinion.

The Phoenix VE bus inverters were a striped down version of a Miltiplus compact inverter charger.

As such they did not need ac inputs/transfer switching, and were never delivered with them.
