Product Description
Purchased February 2021 in New Zealand Victron Energy Quattro 12/5000/220-2x75 inverter charger. Perfect working order.
Item is in Malaysia.
Owner reason for selling : Changing to a new system
Two AC inputs with integrated transfer switch
The Quattro can be connected to two independent AC sources, for example the public grid and a generator, or two
generators. The Quattro will automatically connect to the active source.
Two AC Outputs
The main output has no-break functionality. The Quattro takes over the supply to the connected loads in the event of a grid
failure or when shore/generator power is disconnected. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and
other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.
The second output is live only when AC is available on one of the inputs of the Quattro. Loads that should not discharge the
battery, like a water heater for example, can be connected to this output.
Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation
Up to 6 Quattro units can operate in parallel. Six units 48/10000/140, for example, will provide 48kW / 60kVA output power
and 840 Amps charging capacity.
Split phase and three phase capability
Two units can be configured for split phase, and three units can be configured for three phase output. But that’s not all: up to
6 sets of three units can be parallel connected to provide 144kW / 180kVA inverter power and more than 2500A charging
capacity. For more detail please enter parallel in the search box on our website.
PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator, shore side or grid power
The Quattro is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the generator or shore side supply
(16A per 5kVA Quattro at 230VAC). A current limit can be set on each AC input. The Quattro will then take account of other AC
loads and use whatever is spare for charging, thus preventing the generator or mains supply from being overloaded.
PowerAssist – Boosting shore or generator power
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension allowing the Quattro to supplement the capacity of
the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required only for a limited period, the Quattro will make sure that
insufficient mains or generator power is immediately compensated for by power from the battery. When the load reduces, the
spare power is used to recharge the battery.
Solar energy: AC power available even during a grid failure
The Quattro can be used in off grid as well as grid connected PV and other alternative energy systems.
Loss of mains detection software is available.
System configuring
- In case of a stand-alone application, if settings have to be changed, this can be done in a matter of minutes with a DIP
switch setting procedure.
- Parallel and three phase applications can be configured with VE.Bus Quick Configure and VE.Bus System Configurator
software.
- Off grid, grid interactive and self-consumption applications, involving grid-tie inverters and/or MPPT Solar Chargers
can be configured with Assistants (dedicated software for specific applications).
On-site Monitoring and control
Several options are available: Battery Monitor, Multi Control Panel, Color Control GX or other GX devices, smartphone or tablet
(Bluetooth Smart), laptop or computer (USB or RS232).
Remote Monitoring and control
Color Control GX or other GX devices.
Data can be stored and displayed on our VRM (Victron Remote Management) website, free of charge.
Remote configuring
When connected to the Ethernet, systems with a Color Control GX or other GX device can be accessed and settings can be
changed remotely.
