Use this cable to connect the (discontinued) Phoenix Inverter 12/180, 24/180, 12/350 or 24/350 to a VE.Bus BMS or a BlueSolar MPPT Charger that features a load output:
VE.Bus BMS: the Inverter will be switched off when the batteries are empty
BlueSolar MPPT Charger: connecting an inverter directly on the load output of a BlueSolar MPPT Charger is not possible; the inverter needs to be connected to the battery. Then use this cable to switch the inverter on and off with the load output.
The load output of an MPPT 75/15 or MPPT 100/15, for example, can be used to control an inverter. Some inverters will switch on when the remote control input is pulled high. The remote control input of other inverters must be pulled down to switch on. Pull down to switch on is needed for the Victron inverters model Phoenix 12/180, 24/180, 12/350 and 24/350. These inverters should be interfaced to the load output of the MPPT 75/15 or MPPT 100/15 with the inverting remote on-off cable.
All Phoenix Inverters rated at 3kVA and more and all Multi C's, Multi's and Quattro's also require active pull down to switch on, and the inverting remote on-off cable can be used to interface between the remote on-off terminal and a source signal that turns high when switch on is required.

A question we get asked many times. So we've created a simple calculator to give you some idea of how long your battery will last off grid. It will take into consideration any solar panels you've installed, 12v and 240v usage. Based on the information provided it will recommend a battery size and estimate the number of days use.
