Why Buy
- True all‑in‑one power solution: Combines pure sine wave inverter, high‑capacity charger and automatic transfer switch to simplify system design and installation.[5
- Protects against power cuts: Transfers quickly between AC sources and battery power to keep essential circuits such as lighting, refrigeration and IT equipment running.
- Maximises generator and grid capacity: PowerAssist and PowerControl actively manage incoming power and support peak loads from the battery to avoid nuisance tripping.
- Scalable for future expansion: Parallel operation and three‑phase options allow the system to grow with additional Quattro units as energy demands increase.
- Trusted Victron quality: Backed by strong safety certifications, proven field reliability and a 5‑year warranty for professional‑grade installations.
Suitable For
- Residential battery storage systems for self‑consumption, backup power or off‑grid homes using solar PV and a 48V battery bank.
- Light commercial and agricultural sites needing robust three‑phase or high‑load support with generators and variable grid quality.
- Marine and mobile applications (boats, barges, large motorhomes) where dual AC inputs and powerful inverter capacity are required
- Backup power for critical circuits in small businesses, workshops, server rooms and telecom or security systems.
Key Features
- Dual AC inputs with automatic transfer: Connects to two independent AC sources and automatically selects the active source for seamless operation.
- Two AC outputs: Primary output supplies all loads, while the secondary output can be configured to disconnect non‑essential loads when operating on battery.
- Pure sine wave output: Safely powers sensitive electronics, motors and appliances with a clean 230V, 50Hz supply.
- PowerControl: Limits total draw from shore or generator supply to a user‑set maximum to prevent overloading.
- PowerAssist: Automatically supplements limited AC input power with inverter power from the battery during peak demand.
- Parallel and three‑phase operation: Up to 10 units can be configured together for higher output, split‑phase or three‑phase systems.
- Adaptive 4‑stage charging: Bulk, absorption, float and storage modes optimise battery life and performance across different chemistries.
- Advanced monitoring and configuration: VE.Bus interface enables integration with Victron system monitors, remote panels and online portals.
- Comprehensive protections: Built‑in safeguards against overload, short‑circuit, over/under voltage, over‑temperature and excessive DC ripple.
- Certified safety and EMC: Complies with EN‑IEC 60335‑1, EN‑IEC 60335‑2‑29 and EN‑IEC 62109‑1, with automotive ECE R10‑4 EMC compliance.
