Victron EasyPlus C 12/1600/70-16 – 12 V 1600 VA inverter/charger

Victron Energy EasyPlus C 12/1600/70-16 is a multifunctional energy system combining a pure sine wave inverter, an intelligent battery charger, a high-speed AC transfer switch and AC distribution in one compact enclosure.

The unit converts 12 V DC from a battery system into stable 230 V AC power. When mains or generator power is available, it charges the house battery with up to 70 A and automatically transfers the loads to the AC source. PowerControl and PowerAssist help make better use of limited shore-power or generator capacity.

Key benefits

• Combines an inverter, battery charger, AC transfer switch and AC distribution in one enclosure.
• Pure sine wave 230 V AC output with continuous output of 1600 VA / 1300 W at 25 °C.
• Peak power up to 3000 W for short-duration starting loads.
• Up to 70 A charging current for the house battery.
• Additional 4 A charging output for a starter battery.
• PowerControl and PowerAssist for limiting input current and supporting loads during demand peaks.
• 16 A automatic transfer switch with no-break transfer between mains/generator power and inverter operation.
• Four-stage adaptive charging algorithm with BatterySafe mode.
• Programmable relay for general alarm, low DC-voltage indication or generator start signal.
• Protection against output short circuit, overload, excessive or insufficient battery voltage, overheating, 230 V AC on the inverter output and excessive input-voltage ripple.

Applications

Victron Energy EasyPlus is suitable for campervans, caravans, boats and other mobile systems, as well as off-grid and backup-power installations requiring a compact solution for 230 V AC inversion, battery charging and AC distribution.
