This is Victron Energy's current transformer for the MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid-II, a 100A:50mA sensor used to implement PowerControl and PowerAssist. This part number is the version with a jack connector and a 20 m cable. The range also comes with 1 m and 5 m cables, and a wire-end type exists alongside the jack type. External current sensing lets the system optimize self-consumption.

Our take

The 100A:50mA rating makes this a current sensor for MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid-II units, feeding PowerControl, PowerAssist and external current sensing for self-consumption. The 20 m lead lets the sensor sit well away from the inverter.

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.
