Quattro 12V 5000VA Inverter Charger by Victron Energy
The Victron Quattro 12V 5000VA Inverter/Charger is a powerful and versatile energy solution designed for marine, mobile, off-grid, and backup applications. It features two AC inputs with an integrated transfer switch, allowing automatic connection to the active power source, and two AC outputs, ensuring essential loads remain powered without interruption even during outages. With PowerControl and PowerAssist technology.
The Quattro manages and boosts generator or grid power as needed, preventing overload and optimizing charging. It supports split-phase and three-phase configurations for larger systems, and integrates seamlessly with solar energy setups, providing AC power even when the grid fails. Easy to configure via DIP switches or VE.Bus software, the Quattro also offers robust on-site and remote monitoring through devices like the Ekrano GX or Cerbo GX, with full access to the free VRM Portal for real-time system data, remote configuration, and alarm notifications.
In many countries, energy storage systems (ESS) that send solar power back to the grid must have a single fault-tolerant disconnect. The Victron Quattro 12V 5000VA have a basic isolation contactor but need extra protection to meet this rule. By adding a Ziehl UFR1001E anti-islanding device and two series-connected contactors, the system becomes fully single fault-tolerant. The Quattro also manages important ESS functions like reactive power control and responding to grid frequency and voltage changes, making it a complete and compliant solution.
