⚡🔌 In this video, we dive deep into the world of the Victron MultiPlus 2 Inverter and explore various techniques to ignore AC input, allowing you to harness standalone power like a pro.

In the dynamic environments of RVs and marine settings, the convenience of automatically switching to AC input when plugged in is a game-changer. But what about stationary environments like homes, where you want more control?

Join me as I walk you through different approaches and configurations, demonstrating how to deactivate AC input effectively. Discover the flexibility of the MultiPlus 2 Inverter and its capability to adapt to your unique power needs.

At 9:21, the generator start/stop assistant information is not correct. In the video it shows the relay being turned on when the load is high or the SOC is low (and the opposite for low load and high SOC), but the relay should be turned off. The relay is controlling the General Flag (AC Ignore). When the relay is set to "on" it will activate AC Ignore and turn off the grid connection. When the relay os "off" it will NOT ignore AC In and the inverter will switch to passthrough mode.

Basically you just have to switch "relay on" to "relay off" and visa versa for the two programmable relay assistants. Unfortunately I cannot edit the video to add the correction without taking it down.
