Your computer’s power supply specifications indicate a wide input voltage range and adaptability to both 50Hz and 60Hz, which is typical for modern power supplies.
Considering these specs, here’s how you should approach your MultiPlus-II 230V settings:
Input Voltage Range Consideration:
-
Since your computer’s power supply can tolerate voltages as low as 100V and as high as 240V, setting the MultiPlus-II’s upper voltage limit to 240V or slightly higher provides a buffer against possible voltage spikes while ensuring the power supply doesn’t shut off prematurely.
-
For the lower voltage limit, the standard setting of 180V on the MultiPlus-II offers more than enough tolerance for your computer’s power supply, which can handle down to 100V.
Frequency Compatibility:
-
Your computer’s power supply is compatible with both the standard 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies. The MultiPlus-II should be set to match the frequency of your local power grid, which it will pass through when AC is present. During an outage or off-grid operation, it will invert DC to AC at the set frequency (either 50Hz or 60Hz).
Current Requirements:
-
The current rating of 14-7A indicates the power supply’s range of current draw depending on the input voltage; higher current at lower voltages, and lower current at higher voltages. The MultiPlus-II 230V should be able to handle these current levels easily without the need for any specific adjustments related to the current draw of your computer.
UPS Feature:
-
With the UPS feature enabled on the MultiPlus-II, your computer will be protected against power interruptions, providing a continuous power supply during grid outages or transitions between grid and battery power.
PowerAssist Functionality:
-
If the computer is part of a setup that includes other high-power devices and there’s a risk of overloading the AC input source, the PowerAssist feature can support the input with additional power from the battery if needed.

The MultiPlus-II 230V’s default settings are likely sufficient for your computer’s power supply, given its wide voltage and frequency tolerance. However, it’s always good practice to monitor your system’s performance and make adjustments as necessary, keeping in mind the tolerances of all connected devices. If you’re unsure or need further customization, consulting with a professional or Victron support is advisable.
Your computer’s power supply is quite versatile, with the ability to operate across a variety of voltages and frequencies typically found around the world. This means it should work well with the default settings of the MultiPlus-II 230V. The inverter’s standard settings already fall within the range that your computer’s power supply can handle, ensuring compatibility.
Just ensure that the MultiPlus-II is set to the correct frequency (50 or 60 Hz) to match your local grid when inverting from DC to AC, and that the upper voltage limit is set to accommodate any minor fluctuations above 230V without disconnecting your computer during normal operation. If you’re operating in an environment with unstable grid voltage, it’s wise to use a surge protector for your computer as an additional safeguard.
Given the importance of computers and their sensitivity to power quality, it’s reassuring to know that your power supply has the flexibility to accommodate a range of input conditions, and the MultiPlus-II 230V is designed to provide a stable and clean power supply to protect sensitive electronics.
