Victron Quattro 12/3000/120-50/50 inverter 2400W and charger

Innovative combination unit from Victron: pure sine inverter, 12 V battery charger and transfer switch in one!

The Quattro 12/3000/120 from Victron is a combination unit consisting of a 2400 W pure sine inverter, battery charger and transfer switch.
The smartly integrated battery charger delivers an impressive 120 A, allowing batteries to be charged extremely quickly when shore or mains power is available. The highlight: the unit can be connected to two independent AC sources. These can be, for example, a generator and shore power connection, or two generators. The Quattro automatically switches to the active source.
The pure sine voltage converter integrated in the Victron Quattro transforms the 12 V DC from the battery into 230 V AC. Thanks to the pure sine wave, the voltage quality is perfect even for sensitive electronic devices.
Furthermore, a lightning-fast 50 A transfer switch is also installed, allowing grid-connected systems to be implemented.

Two AC inputs with integrated transfer switch

The Quattro can be connected to two independent AC sources: for example, the public power grid and a generator, or two generators. The Quattro automatically connects to the active source.

Two AC outputs

The main output ensures uninterrupted operation. In the event of a mains failure or an interruption of shore/generator power, the Quattro takes over the supply of the connected consumers. The switchover is so fast (in less than 20 milliseconds) that uninterrupted operation of computers and other electronic devices is guaranteed. The second output only supplies power if AC is available at one of the Quattro inputs. Consumers that must not discharge the battery, such as a water heater, can be connected to this output.

Virtually unlimited power through parallel connection

Up to 6 Quattros can be connected in parallel. This results, for example, with six 48/10000/140 units, in 54 kW/60 kVA of power or 840 A of charging current. Three-phase operation Three units can be connected in a three-phase configuration. However, that is not enough: up to 6 sets of three devices can be connected in parallel, resulting in 162 kW/180 kVA inverter power and over 2,500 A charging capacity.

PowerControl – Working with limited generator power, restricted shore or mains power

The Quattro is a very powerful battery charger. Therefore, it draws a lot of current from the generator or shore power supply (16 A per 5 kVA Quattro at 230 VAC). A current limit can be set on each of the AC inputs. The Quattro then takes into account other connected AC consumers and uses only the power that is still "left over" for charging. This prevents the generator or mains connection from being overloaded.

PowerAssist – Increasing shore power or generator capacity

With this function, the PowerControl principle reaches a new dimension, as the Quattro supports any undersized alternative source. Load peaks often occur only for a limited period. In such a case, the Quattro ensures that insufficient mains or generator power is immediately compensated by energy from the battery. If the load is reduced, i.e., consumers are switched off, the now again sufficiently available energy can be used to charge the batteries.

Solar power: AC even during a power outage

The Quattro can be used with both off-grid and grid-connected PV systems, as well as other alternative energy systems. Software for detecting a power outage is available.

System configuration

If settings on an individual device need to be changed, this can be done within a few minutes using a DIP switch setting procedure. - Parallel-connected and three-phase systems can be configured using the VE.Bus Quick Configure and VE.Bus System Configurator software. - Off-grid, grid-connected, and self-consumption systems using grid-tie inverters and/or MPPT solar chargers can be configured using assistants (associated software for the respective systems).

Monitoring and control on site

Several options are available: battery monitor, Multi Control Panel, Ve.Net Blue Power Panel, Color Control Panel, smartphone or tablet (Bluetooth Smart), laptop or computer (USB or RS232).

Remote monitoring and control

Victron Ethernet Remote, Victron Global Remote and the Color Control Panel. The data can be stored and viewed free of charge on our VRM (Victron Remote Management) website. Remote configuration: If systems with a Color Control Panel are connected to the Ethernet, they can be accessed and settings can be changed remotely
