This Victron cable is for inverters and inverter/chargers that need an active pull-down remote signal. It links them to a VE.Bus BMS or to a BlueSolar MPPT Charger that has a load output. With a VE.Bus BMS, the inverter or Multi/Quattro is shut off when the batteries run empty, and a second cable can switch off the charger too on a Multi or Quattro. With an MPPT charger, the inverter must still be wired to the battery, as it can't connect straight to the load output.
Our take
Inverters rated at 3 kVA and more need an active pull-down remote signal, and this cable is how they are tied to a VE.Bus BMS or an MPPT load output. On an MPPT setup, the inverter still has to be wired to the battery, since connecting it straight to the load output is not possible.
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.
