MPPT 100/30 MPPT 100/50

EN NL FR DE ES SE Appendix

1. General Description

1.1 PV voltage up to 100V

The charge controller is able to charge a lower nominal-voltage

battery from a higher nominal voltage PV array.

The controller will automatically adjust to a 12 or 24V nominal

battery voltage.

1.2 Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is

changing continuously, an ultra fast MPPT controller will improve

energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge

controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT

controllers.

1.3 Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of

partial shading conditions

If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may

be present on the power-voltage curve.

Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not

be the optimum MPP.

The innovative SmartSolar algorithm will always maximize energy

harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.

1.4 Outstanding conversion efficiency

No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%. Full output

current up to 40°C (104°F).

1.5 Extensive electronic protection

Over-temperature protection and power derating when

temperature is high.

PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection.

PV reverse current protection.

1.6 Internal temperature sensor

Compensates absorption and float charge voltages for

temperature.

(range 6°C to 40°C)

1.7 Optional external voltage and temperature sensor

(

range -20°C to 50°C)

The Smart Battery Sense is a wireless battery voltage-and-

temperature sensor for Victron MPPT Solar Chargers. The Solar

Charger uses these measurements to optimize its charge

parameters. The accuracy of the data it transmits will improve

battery charging efficiency, and prolong battery life.

Alternatively, Bluetooth communication can be set up between a

BMV-712 battery monitor with battery temperature sensor and the

solar charge controller (VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle

needed).

For more detail please enter smart networking in the search box

on our website.

1.8 Automatic battery voltage recognition

The controller will automatically adjust itself to a 12V or a 24V

system

one time only.

If a different system voltage is required at a later stage, it must be

changed manually, for example with the Bluetooth app.

1.9 Flexible charge algorithm

Fully programmable charge algorithm, and eight preprogrammed

algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch.

1.10 Adaptive three step charging

The Controller is configured for a three-step charging process:

Bulk – Absorption – Float.

1.10.1. Bulk

During this stage the controller delivers as much charge current

as possible to rapidly recharge the batteries.

1.9.2. Absorption

When the battery voltage reaches the absorption voltage setting,

the controller switches to constant voltage mode.

When only shallow discharges occur the absorption time is kept

short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep

discharge the absorption time is automatically increased to make

sure that the battery is completely recharged. Additionally, the

absorption period is also ended when the charge current

decreases to less than 2A.

1.10.3. Float

During this stage, float voltage is applied to the battery to

maintain it in a fully charged state.

1.10.4. Equalization

See section 3.8

1.11 Remote on-off

The MPPT 100/50 can be controlled remotely by a VE.Direct non

inverting remote on-off cable (ASS030550300). An input HIGH

(Vi > 8V) will switch the controller on, and an input LOW (Vi < 2V,

or free floating) will switch the controller off.

EN NL FR DE ES SE Appendix

Application example: on/off control by a VE.Bus BMS when

charging Li-ion batteries.

1.12 Configuring and monitoring

Configure the solar charge controller with the VictronConnect

app. Available for iOS & Android devices; as well as macOS and

Windows computers. An accessory might be required; enter

victronconnect in the search box on our website and see the

VictronConnect download page for details.

For simple monitoring, use the MPPT Control; a panel mounted

simple yet effective display that shows all operational parameters.

3. Installation

WARNING: DC (PV) INPUT NOT ISOLATED FROM BATTERY

CIRCUIT.

CAUTION: FOR PROPER TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

THE AMBIENT CONDITION FOR CHARGER AND BATTERY

MUST BE WITHIN 5°C,

3.1. General

● Mount vertically on a non-flammable substrate, with the power

terminals facing downwards.

● Mount close to the battery, but never directly above the battery

(in order to prevent damage due to gassing of the battery).

● Improper internal temperature compensation (e.g. ambient

condition battery and charger not within 5°C) can lead to reduced

battery lifetime.

We recommend using a direct battery voltage sense source

(BMV, Smart Battery Sense or GX device shared voltage

sense) if larger temperature differences or extreme ambient

temperature conditions are expected

● Battery installation must be done in accordance with the

storage battery rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

● The battery and PV connections must be guarded against

inadvertent contact (e.g. install in an enclosure or install the

optional WireBox M).

3.2 Grounding

● Battery grounding: the charger can be installed in a positive or

negative grounded system.

Note: apply a single ground connection (preferably close to the

battery) to prevent malfunctioning of the system.

● Chassis grounding: A separate earth path for the chassis

ground is permitted because it is isolated from the positive and

negative terminal.

● The USA National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the use of an

external ground fault protection device (GFPD). These MPPT

chargers do not have internal ground fault protection. The system

electrical negative

should be bonded through a GFPD to earth ground at one (and

only one) location.

● The charger must not be connected with grounded PV arrays

(one ground connection only)

WARNING: WHEN A GROUND FAULT IS INDICATED,

BATTERY TERMINALS AND CONNECTED CIRCUITS MAY BE

UNGROUNDED AND HAZARDOUS.

3.3 PV configuration

(also see the MPPT Excel sheet on

our website)

● Provide a means to disconnect all current-carrying conductors

of a photovoltaic power source from all other conductors in a

building or other structure.

● A switch, circuit breaker, or other device, either ac or dc, shall

not be installed in a grounded conductor if operation of that

switch, circuit breaker, or other device leaves the grounded

conductor in an ungrounded state while the system remains

energized.

● The controller will operate only if the PV voltage exceeds

battery voltage (Vbat).

● PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5V for the controller to start.

Thereafter minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1V.

● Maximum open circuit PV voltage: 100V.

For example:

12V battery and mono- or polycristalline panels

● Minimum number of cells in series: 36 (12V panel).

● Recommended number of cells for highest controller efficiency:

72 (2x 12V panel in series or 1x 24V panel).

● Maximum: 144 cells (4x 12V or 2x 24V panel in series).

24V battery and mono- or polycristalline panels

● Minimum number of cells in series: 72 (2x 12V panel in series

or 1x 24V panel).

● Maximum: 144 cells.

Remark: at low temperature the open circuit voltage of a 144 cell

solar array may exceed 100V, depending on local conditions and

cell specifications. In that case the number of cells in series must

be reduced.

3.4 Cable connection sequence (see figure 1)

First: connect the battery.

Second: connect the solar array (when connected with reverse

polarity, the controller will heat up but will not charge the battery).

Torque: 1,6 Nm

EN NL FR DE ES SE Appendix

3.5 Configuration of the controller

Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on

our website) and eight preprogrammed charge algorithms,

selectable with a rotary switch:

Note 1: divide all values by two in case of a 12V system.

Note 2: equalize normally off, see sect. 3.8.1 to activate

(do not equalize VRLA Gel and AGM batteries)

Note 3: any setting change performed with Bluetooth or via VE.Direct will

override the rotary switch setting. Turning the rotary switch will override prior

settings made with Bluetooth or VE.Direct.

3.7 Battery charging information

The charge controller starts a new charge cycle every morning,

when the sun starts shining.

Lead-acid batteries: default method to determine length and

end of absorption

The charging algorithm behaviour of MPPTs differs from AC

connected battery chargers. Please read this section of the

manual carefully to understand MPPT behaviour, and always

follow the recommendations of your battery manufacturer.

By default, the absorption time is determined on idle battery

voltage at the start of each day based on the following table:

Battery voltage Vb

(@start-up)

Multiplier

Maximum

absorption time

Vb < 11,9V x 1 6h

11,9V < Vb < 12,2V x 2/3 4h

12,2V < Vb < 12,6V x 1/3 2h

Vb > 12,6V x 1/6 1h

(12V values, adjust for 24V))

The absorption time counter starts once switched from bulk to

absorption.

The MPPT Solar Chargers will also end absorption and switch to

float when the battery current drops below a low current threshold

limit, the ‘tail current’.

The default tail current value value is 2A.

The default settings (voltages, absorption time multiplier and tail

current) can be modified with the Victronconnect app via

Bluetooth or via VE.Direct.

There are two exceptions to normal operation:

1. When used in an ESS system; the solar charger algorithm is

disabled; and instead it follows the curve as mandated by the

inverter/charger.

2. For CAN-bus Lithium batteries, like BYD, the battery tells the

system, including the solar charger, what charge voltage to

use. This Charge Voltage Limit (CVL) is for some batteries

even dynamic; changes over time; based on for example

maximum cell voltage in the pack and other parameters.

When, in case of the above-mentioned exceptions, several solar

chargers are connected to a GX device, these chargers will

automatically be synchronised.

Variations to expected behaviour

1. Pausing of the absorption time counter

The absorption time counter starts when the configured

absorption voltage is reached and pauses when the output

voltage is below the configured absorption voltage.

An example of when this voltage drop could occur is when PV

power (due to clouds, trees, bridges) is insufficient to charge

the battery and to power the loads.

When the absorption timer is paused, the absorption LED will

flash very slowly.

2. Restarting the charge process

The charging algorithm will reset if charging has stopped (i.e.

the absorption time has paused) for an hour. This may occur

when the PV voltage drops below the battery voltage due to

bad weather, shade or similar.

3. Battery being charged or discharged before solar charging

begins

The automatic absorption time is based on the start-up battery

voltage (see table). This absorption time estimation can be

incorrect if there is an additional charge source (eg alternator)

or load on the batteries.

This is an inherent issue in the default algorithm. However, in

most cases it is still better than a fixed absorption time

regardless of other charge sources or battery state.

EN NL FR DE ES SE Appendix

It is possible to override the default absorption time algorithm

by setting a fixed absorption time when programming the solar

charge controller. Be aware this can result in overcharging your

batteries. Please see your battery manufacturer for

recommended settings.

4. Absorption time determined by tail current

In some applications it may be preferable to terminate

absorption time based on tail current only. This can be

achieved by increasing the default absorption time multiplier.

(warning: the tail current of lead-acid batteries does not

decrease to zero when the batteries are fully charged, and this

“remaining” tail current can increase substantially when the

batteries age)

Default setting, LiFePO4 batteries

LiFePO4 batteries do not need to be fully charged to prevent

premature failure.

The default absorption voltage setting is 14,2V (28,4V).

And the default absorption time setting is 2 hours.

Default float setting: 13,2V (26,4V).

These settings are adjustable.

Reset of the charge algorithm:

The default setting for restarting the charge cycle is

Vbatt < (Vfloat – 0,4V) for lead-acid, and Vbatt < (Vfloat – 0,1V)

for LiFePO4 batteries, during 1 minute.

(values for 12V batteries, multiply by two for 24V)

3.8 Automatic equalization

Automatic equalization is default set to ‘OFF’. With the Victron

Connect app (see sect 1.12) this setting can be configured with a

number between 1 (every day) and 250 (once every 250 days).

When automatic equalization is active, the absorption charge will

be followed by a voltage limited constant current period. The

current is limited to 8% or 25% of the bulk current (see table in

sect. 3.5). The bulk current is the rated charger current unless a

lower maximum current setting has been chosen.

When using a setting with 8% current limit, automatic equalization

ends when the voltage limit has been reached, or after 1 hour,

whichever comes first.

Other settings: automatic equalization ends after 4 hours.

When automatic equalization is not completely finished within one

day, it will not resume the next day, the next equalization session

will take place as determined by the day interval.

1. Algemene beschrijving

1.1 PV-spanning tot 100V

De laadcontroller kan een accu met een lagere nominale

spanning laden vanaf een PV-paneel met een hogere nominale

spanning.

De controller past zich automatisch aan aan een nominale

accuspanning van 12 of 24V.

1.2 Ultrasnelle Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Vooral als het bewolkt is en de lichtintensiteit voortdurend

verandert, verbetert een ultrasnelle MPPT-controller de

energieopbrengst tot 30% in vergelijking met PWM-

laadcontrollers en tot 10% in vergelijking met tragere MPPT-

controllers.

1.3 Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in het geval

van wisselende schaduw

In het geval van wisselende schaduw kan de vermogen-

spanningscurve twee of meer maximale vermogenspunten

bevatten.

Conventionele MPPT's benutten meestal plaatselijke MPP,

hetgeen mogelijk niet het optimale MPP is.

Het innovatieve SmartSolar-algoritme maximaliseert de

energieopbrengst altijd door het optimale MPP te benutten.

1.4 Uitstekend omzettingsrendement

Geen koelventilator. Het maximale rendement bedraagt meer dan

98%. Volledige uitgangsstroom tot 40°C (104°F).

1.5 Uitgebreide elektronische beveiliging

Beveiliging tegen overtemperatuur en vermogensvermindering bij

hoge temperaturen.

Beveiliging tegen PV-kortsluiting en omgekeerde PV-polariteit.

Beveiliging tegen PV-sperstroom.

1.6 Interne temperatuursensor

Compenseert absorptie- en druppelladingsspanningen voor

temperatuur (bereik 6°C tot 40°C).

1.7 Optionele externe spannings- en temperatuursensor

(bereik -20°C tot 50°C)

De Smart Battery Sense is een draadloze batterij spannings- en

temperatuursensor voor Victron MPPT Zonneladers. De Zonnelader

gebruikt deze afmetingen om diens laadparameters te

optimaliseren. De accuraatheid van de gegevens die het doorstuurt

zal de doeltreffendheid van het batterijladen verbeteren en de

levensduur van de batterij verlengen.

Als alternatief kan Bluetooth communicatie ingesteld worden tussen

een BMV-712 batterijmonitor met batterijtemperatuursensor en de

zonnelaadcontroller (VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle nodig). Voer,

voor meer details, smart networking in in het zoekvakje op onze

website.

1.8 Automatische herkenning van de accuspanning

De controller past zich

slechts een keer automatisch aan aan een

12V- of een 24V-systeem.

Als op een later moment een andere systeemspanning is vereist,

moet deze handmatig worden gewijzigd, bijvoorbeeld met de

Bluetooth-app.

1.9 Flexibel laadalgoritme

Volledig programmeerbaar laadalgoritme, en acht

voorgeprogrammeerde algoritmes die met een draaischakelaar

gekozen kunnen worden.

1.10 Adaptief drietraps laden

De SmartSolar MPPT-laadcontroller is geconfigureerd voor een

drietraps oplaadproces: Bulklading, absorptielading en

druppellading.

1.10.1. Bulklading

Tijdens deze fase levert de controller zoveel mogelijk laadstroom

om de accu's snel op te laden.

1.10.2. Absorptielading

Als de accuspanning de ingestelde absorptiespanning bereikt,

schakelt de controller over op de constante spanningsmodus.

EN NL FR DE ES SE Appendix

Als enkel lichte ontladingen optreden, wordt de absorptietijd kort

gehouden om overlading van de accu te voorkomen. Na een

diepe ontlading wordt de absorptietijd automatisch verhoogd om

ervoor te zorgen dat de accu opnieuw volledig wordt geladen.

Daarnaast wordt de absorptietijd ook beëindigd als de laadstroom

onder 2A daalt.

1.10.3. Druppellading

Tijdens deze fase wordt de druppelladingsspanning toegepast op

de accu om deze volledig opgeladen te houden.

1.10.4. Egalisatie

Zie paragraaf 3.8.

1.11 Aan/uit op afstand

De laadcontroller kan op afstand worden bestuurd door een

VE.Direct niet-omvormende kabel voor het op afstand in- of

uitschakelen (ASS030550300). De ingang HIGH (Vi > 8V)

schakelt de controller in en de ingang LOW (Vi < 2V, of ‘free

floating’) schakelt de controller uit.

1.12 Configuratie en bewaking

Configureer de zonnelaadcontroller met de VictronConnect app.

Beschikbaar voor iOS- & Android-toestellen; evenals voor

MacOS- en Windows-computers. Een accessoire kan vereist zijn;

voer victronconnect in in het zoekvakje op onze website en bekijk

de VictronConnect downloadpagina voor details.
