Victron Energy eSmartSolar MPPT RS 450/100-MC4 Charge Controller
The SmartSolar MPPT RS solar charge controllers are Victron's solution for systems with large series connected PV arrays charging 48 V DC battery banks. This product is perfect for large off-grid, and grid connected battery systems.
The MPPT controller features include a wide 65-450 VDC operating solar voltage input, independent tracking inputs, full connectivity, isolated PV connections, display screen, fully programmable battery charging parameters and active cooling. The new metal case design and fully covered electrical connections improve the safety and modernize the presentation in line with the latest suite of Victron products.
*Equipped with VE.Can bus ports to allow multiple units to be daisy chained to each other with an RJ45 cable.

1) MPPT operating voltage range is constrained by battery voltage - PV VOC should not exceed 8 x battery float voltage. For example, a 52.8 V float voltage results in a maximum PV VOC of 422.4 V. See product manual for further information.
2) A higher short circuit current may damage the controller if PV array is connected in reverse polarity.
3) Max. 450 VOC result in appr. 360 Vmpp, therefor the maximum PV array is appr. 360 V x 20 A = 7200 Wp.
4) The SmartSolar MPPT RS will test for sufficient resistive isolation between PV+ and GND, as well as PV- and GND. If the resistance falls below the threshold, the unit will report an error and send an error signal to the GX device (if connected) for audible and email notifications. Despite the error, the product will continue charging the battery.
5) Programmable relay which can be set for general alarm, DC under voltage or genset start/stop function. DC rating: 4 A up to 35 VDC and 1 A up to 70 VDC
6) The MPPT RS is currently not compatible with VE.Smart Networks.
7) The Charger set-point (float and absorption) can be set to max 60 V. The output voltage at the charger terminals can be higher, due to temperature compensation as well as compensation for voltage drop over the battery cables. The maximum output current is reduced on a linear basis from full current at 60 V to 5A at 62 V. The equalization voltage can be set to max 62 V, the equalization current percentage can be set to max 6%.
