The bad fan in the Multipluses has lead me to replace the stock fans in my MP2 3000s with Noctua NF-F12 iPPC-24V-3000 fans. They are much quieter and ramp up and down just as the original :) best Upgrade ever

That's always the caveat with replacing fans, if you're not getting the same or better airflow then the silence could be dangerous. Some designs look for high airflow and others need high static pressure. But if temps are the same it's okay.

Hello Andy. Thank you very much for having an opportunitty of watching your enthusiastic and thus supaa attractive shows. You have become my coach and advisor - I ordered a battery DIY box recommended by you!! Expect some bucks as a donation if/when it arrives from China. I am not able to send you a bottle of wine we make at home for your tasting - so I let you be happy with beers over there in Australia. Wrong calculations on VRM portal occur not only when DC is measured. I experience the same issue with meter ET340 - Victron´s 3F AC meter installed to monitor the grid-tied invertor installed prior my Multiplus II 5000W Invertor. Firstly, at VRM portal it is shown incorrectly after Multiplus (it is uncertain how software understands the sharing of 1F which is basicaly fed by Multiplus permanently). However, in setup menu of Cerbo it is correctly set as connected to the AC1input. It means prior the input logicaly. Secondly, the Grid-tied Invertor´s production is calculated into the overall consumption!!! Therefore, the historical data collection is insane while I do not start to investigate by a help from data of grid provider (from mandatory smart grid energy smartmeter) and e help of application monitoring the grid-tied invertor. I am ready to purchase the second meter ET340 to monitor the consumption if it helps. The question to Andy and to the more-experienced-tehn-me Andy´s followers: would it help? As a positive result to the third Q. Thirdly, in Slovakia the use of GridTied Invertors is motivated by both - electricity supplier accepts overproduction and gives it back with no additional fee (honestly, the service called VirtualBattery is for 3EURO/month) and grid provider allows to send overproduction into the grid system. It is calculated by the mandatory smart gridmeter as the sum of all phases. Therefore, it would be efficient to use all of the production to feed the battery by Multiplus if the battery is not full and GridTied Invertor produces electricity. I am not able to set this kind of feature to be active if it exists. Next, if it is possible to take back part of overproduction to feed the battery by Multiplus it would be efficient to take the energy from battery if the overall 3F consumption (measured by additional ET340) is higher then the overall production by charger and GridTied Invertor. If it possible how to set it to be activated? I tried to look for these questions at victron´s webpages - however, they address the users to check forums and frequent Q&A sections. But I have not found any way how to ask directly victron´s experts 😞 Thank you very for your possible replies. I hope that I will find solutions with your help. Not only Andy´s reply would be appreciated. Jan

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Thank you very much, Jan. Very specific questions you're asking and not easy to answer. If the inverter contributes to the consumption, it seems to be wrongly defined in the system. It is set as a load meter and not a PV inverter meter. It all depends on where your inverter is connected to the system. The MP can take care of the AC load including the power coming from the PV inverter if connected on AC-out.

Let’s hope Johannes Boonstra from Victron picks this up and rectifies it

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

I have commented on his videos when he introduced the Lynx shunt but no feedback.

[@easypowerwall]

Didn't bought the shunt and made DIY busbars (see my channel) saved me a lot of money and the copper busbars look great in the setup.

[@MrElciupacabra]

no way man...the Shunt is the most important. With it you get the right voltage and battery capacity...it is actual a very good mesurment point in you installation

[@sparkletornado5890]

The best decision I made for my 48V system was removing the shunt. I’ve had no issues relying solely on the MultiPlus for system management. I still use a shunt on my 12V system for manually adjusting capacity when adding or removing power banks, but it's not really necessary. In my experience, shunt data can be quite unreliable, especially with inverter loads. Even a small amount of ripple can throw off the readings.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

How does the MP measure SOC when you have MPPTs? I have never tried that... Edit: I just tried and set the MP as the Battery Monitor in the System setup. It shows no SOC at all any more and the discharge current is without DC loads. So that's not gonna work...

[@vonasi2]

Victron issued a fix for noisy fans in the Multiplus. They will give you a free PWM PCB to connect to the fans if your Multiplus is in the faulty range of serial numbers. Mine sounded like the fan bearings were worn out until I fitted the 'workaround' PCB. It did take two attempts however as the wires were too short on the first PCB they sent me! As for 'DC Power' my Lynx Shunt tells me I am charging my batteries via some DC generation even when there is absolutely nothing connected that could do this. No wonder the SOC wanders out of calibration. For such expensive equipment some of the Victron stuff is rather disappointing even if some of it is also rather impressive. I've also been annoyed by the Victron warranty procedure. A brand new Cerbo didn't work out of the box and I had to wait over two weeks for a replacement and also pay the postage to return the faulty one for testing. That's pretty bad customer service in my mind.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

I heard about this before. Luckily mine seems OK and the fans are not too noisy. Honestly, I would not care as the system is in the garage (unless I make videos at this point of time😄)

[@TheDefpom]

@16:00 you can adjust the calibration of the clamp meter to get it correct in both directions. Requires connecting to the flash memory IC and changing it, the same way it was modified to default to DC at power on, did it to my unit.

I wonder if the "Zero" function is being used right before the measurement and without changing the meter's axis?

[@thomasschmidt9264]

Did you notice, you need five zeros for the upcoming event, or at least two zeros and a capital "K" ?

[@DeertayMike]

This has also been my setup as well.... I have 15kwh of DIY batteries with no comm, the 1000a smartshunt, multiple mppts, and only a Phoenix 48v 1200va but it has never reported consumption. I figured it is just due to the inverter and hoped it will show up when I move to two multi 5kva.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

I have never tried the Lynx Shunt with the Multi. But the Phoenix does show consumption when connected to a Smart Shunt. Go figure...

[@NedKLee]

Same weather conditions here in South Australia too Andy. The big inverter souns like a 747 about to take off when the cloud edge effect kicks in and feeds 60-70 amps into the batteries.

[@heikoilgner7350]

I'm using the lynx shunt as fuse holder and communication center for my 4 "pieters" only. The SOC I'm receiving van the BMS directly. In my opinion it's the best looking version from available Victron shunts to get my biggest fuse to my system without cables or extra powerrails. 🤑💸 Greetings from good old Germany. PS: I'm using a Adler EF3 fuse with 50.000amps breaking capacity. It fit's perfect in this shunt.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

As long as you don't have any DC load, it will work.

[@robhassing7155]

It's even worse. The voltage measurement is off by 0.2V, it doesn't even have kWh counters. The only thing it does well, is being expensive.

You can set the SOC precisely through victron connect via VRM.

[@AdamDeLay07]

I’m all too familiar with having my hands inside electrical panels and having loud noises go off right when you’re going to make a change. Makes you need to go change your shorts! From what I’ve heard from Victron, there’s no communication between the lynx distributor and the lynx shunt. The only device that will notify you of a blown fuse is the lynx bms. All the lynx shunt does is supply power to the lights on the distributor. The inaccurate voltage on the shunt has always been an issue. I also with that we could see the DC power in the VRM. Doesn’t make any sense why they can’t use the same shunt in the lynx shunt like they do with the smart shunt. The smart shunt has a lot more features than the lynx shunt.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

I thought the distributor has some communication to Venus OS through the shunt as well. I have to rewatch my video about these devices.

[@markf1441]

I thought we might see something from the eclipse, live from here too! ✌️

[@spiritrider3348]

I purchased a fuse blade block splitter of Aliexpress for 21$. It is similar to the lynx but 20× cheaper. Put a Victron smart shunt in front of it, and it tells me everything I need to know and offers great protection at a reasonable price! I will connect my inverter straight to the shunt thought!!

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Yeah, just for fuse holder, it is a bit expensive. There are cheaper ways as you said.

[@chrisr819]

Fully agree. Additionally to that the whole lynx line is NOT 1000A as Victron specs. The busbar inside is 8x30mm which due to busbar calculators is 418-478A depending on which calculator you take. I pulled 550A over the distributor and the case started to deform as it got to hot. All torqued down with corret nm specs due to manual, it was the busbar heating up, load on each 200A fuse was 130A.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

I have a 10x30mm busbar in my battery shelf and it already gets warm with 250A. Never understood how they can rate it 1kA.

[@chrisr819]

​​@@OffGridGarageAustraliayes I asked several times in the victron forum, also directly to mVader and no answer till today. Your 10mm x 30mm shouldn't get warm with 250A. Either bad contact or bad quality copper. I have 8mm x 40mm busbars salvaged from NH disconnect knifes which are silver coated 99% copper and that gets warm from 450A on. Its rated till 630A to run 24/7/365

[@HybridShedIraq]

I've been using victron Smart Shunt 1000a for months without any issue to calculate soc of my 40kw batteries and 3 chinese hf voltrinic inverters.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Yes, the smart shunt just works!

[@keyem4504]

That's really strange. The smart shunt simply reports the current running through it and that's what I would assume is the minimal functionality for any shunt. Might this be a problem in the cerbo when data is received via CAN?

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Could be a CAN issue, a firmware problem with the Lynx shunt or a software issue in Venus OS receiving all the data.

[@L_O_M]

There's nothing wrong with the shunt, it is DC connected so can only measure DC current and DC volt and then report that upwards. Upwards is where the error is, ie the display of power based on the report from the shunt. Upwards is probably not asking the shunt for data.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

No, it works perfectly fine with the smart shunt and the BMV. Nothing 'upwards' whatever that even means...

[@L_O_M]

@@OffGridGarageAustralia First upwards is your Cerbo GX communicating with the Lynx shunt over CAN. The problem must either be that the Cervo GX doesn't ask the shunt for data or has told the shunt to disable measurement. The shunt doesn't know anything upwards from the Cervo GX, it can't distinguish between a BMW and a Tesla.

[@rdcabal]

That would mean more blue to ship for repairs. Who is to spend the time diagnosing that?

[@lotswithoutqualities]

You have to enable setting "Has DC system" in VRM/GX and it will measure. Cheers!

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

I have this always enabled and makes no difference with the Lynx shunt

[@martijnheeroma5492]

This is why I have a shunt measuring the DC load, the VenusCalculatedValue is less accurate (and fluctuates like the AC load)

[@rpsmith]

a separate Smart Shunt to only measure the DC load is the recommended method.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

That's what I explained in the video, right? The calculated DC load is not 100% accurate but still pretty accurate. Installing another shunt for the DC load would be a major upgrade to the distribution busbar in the top of the shelf as I would need to separate all DC loads from the main busbar. That's not an option for me.

[@TheBelcherMan]

Andy, you play with the Lynx Class-T Power In yet? Love to hear your opinion before I pull the trigger. Thanks mate!

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Only 2 batteries can be connected to the new Power-in instead of 4 with the 'old' one. I'm not a big fan of fuses for battery connections and rather use double pole DC breakers (like the NOARK). They act as battery main isolators as well as safety devices. But they are a lot bigger of course, so it all depends...

[@FutureSystem738]

Thanks Andy! Big 👍

[@Ole-Endurance]

For me the shunt works perfect (in combination with 3xMPII). A 0.2V drop in measurement I can confirm es wenn. It is named a shunt - so it does what a shunt is supposed to do right? OK it does do some more and is for what it does maybe expensive. I use it since I connected my batteries via serial and batteryaggregator to the Cerbo. This combination has sometime issues (software bugs or USB instabilities) - getting better but still not perfect. So I use the shunt as BMonitor (SOC...) and BatteryAggregator for DVCC control. This combination works fine. The SOC caclulation of the Shunt fits well (no I have not tested it more than 160days :)). I assume your problem has more todo with the VRM & Cerbo in as with the Shunt. Still it is a bug that Victron should fix. For the shunt they at least should comment on the 0.2V voltage difference.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

If you don't have any DC loads or non Victron inverters connected, it will work.

[@Franky6767]

It would be nice if you could go into more detail about the DC system. I know you've mentioned it a few times. I still don't know where my consumption is coming from, is it the Cerbo GX, DC/DC converter, switch that I've attached? The value changes from 5-80W every second in my 48V system. ???

[@Kanuka-Forest]

Yeah it's ridiculous that the leds need a 5v power source from other products like a shunt or bms. It should have its own power supply, but doesn't. That aside the lynx distributor is a great unit. If you think it's expensive try buying 2 x 1000A covered bus bars, fuse holders, lugs, cable and spend the time making cables and mounting everything. They actually work out cheaper than doing all of that and way less time to install. Nice and compliant too.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

I know, I have built such a busbar, installed cables and breakers. It was a hell lot more work than installing the Lynx.

[@TheRonskiman]

I have a Quattro system, Lynx Smart shunt, DC power system is enabled although I have minimal loads on the DC side, consumption is measured perfectly adequately and shows in my graph. AC loads are not measured in the shunt, so it's a problem elsewhere related to your system setup when using the lynx shunt. Annoyingly it does lose SOC when updating the firmware, this also meant my scheduled overnight charge did not work, even though it was set to charge to 100%. Lack of being able to set SOC to anything other than 100% is annoying. There are no kWh counters either. For me these are little inconvenienes rather than problems or show stoppers.

[@JV16Bar]

Is it possible to put a Smartshunt between the Lynx power in and the Lynx Peter? Does it fit, can it be connected?

[@grumpy-badger]

Needs some tweeking and spacers, but then it works fine. Oh, and you have to enlarge the holes on the Peter to 10mm.

[@offgridps]

Yes it's possible, but the Smartshunt needs to be shimmed out a little for a straight fit if you're using solid copper bus bars to connect it between two Lynx devices. Or, you can flexible cable of a suitable gauge for your loads between the devices.

Clearly it can work at a certain level but I don't think they are designed to go together. All the schematics I've seen for Lynx are with a MultiPlus and CAN connection. I think the Cerbo is not expecting the layout you have which is why it doesn't 'detect' consumption, but not 100% sure how you have it all connected.

[@LockyourHubs4WDing]

@@OffGridGarageAustralia the Victon shunt looks like it only relays a "general fault code, that one of the fuses are blown" and only the lynx BMS actually reports which fuse is blow to the Cerbo. Since posting, I've found the Lynx "Peter" uses the I2C protocol to relay the individual fuse statuses to shunt/BMS and then uses VE.Can to report to the Cerbo. I think an ESP32 with its native I2C interface and a CAN transceiver might get the job done. While having the flashing lights working by running power to the "Peter"'s RJ10 is great, I want fuse notifications to the VRM/phone push notifications.

Pays to do some research before buying expensive components!

Nobody will tell you that, hence I'm doing the testing so others know before they buy.

refuse to use their lynx junk, its just another horrendously over priced fan-boy item they can rip you off with.. its about 2000% over priced.

I actually quite like watching your videos. But I think it's absolutely impolite to bite the viewer in the camera and not cut it out. For a live stream - ok. But this isn't a live stream and let me tell you, you're probably the only one who thinks it's great.
