This Victron current transformer has a 100A:50mA ratio and is made for the MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid-II. It supplies external current sensing so the unit can run PowerControl and PowerAssist and improve self-consumption. This version is the CTR11 type with a jack connector and a 5 m cable. Victron lists the same connector type with 1, 5 and 20 meter cable lengths.

Our take

The 100A:50mA ratio ties this transformer to the MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid-II, where it feeds PowerControl and PowerAssist with external current sensing. Its jack connector and 5 m cable come with this part, so a wire-end version means a different part.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
