QUATTRO 4000Watt 12Volt 200Amp Inverter Charger

 

Energy. Anytime. Anywhere. That's what Victron Energy’s new Quattro is all about. It's the only inverter/charger that will provide up to 5kVA of power! Your spin-off: more freedom. Not only that, but the Quattro also offers more on all counts. Allow us to introduce you to new vistas in the world of mobile power by Victron Energy.

 

More power

 

Laundry and dish washing, electric cooking, air-conditioning, diving compressors, computer systems – with 5kVA at its disposal, it’s no problem at all for the Quattro. Are your power requirements even greater? You simply connect more units in parallel: 10kVA, 15kVA, three-phase power – the possibilities are unlimited.

 

More control

 

Charging batteries while power resources are already at their limits can cause serious overloading. Victron Energy has developed a smart solution. If power consumption is high, the Quattro charges at a low or zero rate. As power consumption decreases, the Quattro uses the additional power that becomes available to charge at higher levels. We call this innovative feature PowerControl.

More energy

 

Power connections to provide all the power you need are not always available. That’s why Victron Energy developed Power Assist. This feature monitors power consumption and supplies additional power to prevent overloading. The Quattro can temporarily turn a 16A connection into 38A and a 5kVA generator into 10kVA. No other brand offers better functionality in this arena than the inventor: Victron Energy.

 

More independence

 

Is the grid unreliable? Or would you rather be completely independent? No problem at all. The Quattro can handle enough power to supply an entire home.
You can connect a diesel generator or a sustainable energy system directly to the batteries. Or to the AC input or output. The batteries are then charged through the Quattro. You determine what is best in your specific situation.

 

More teamwork

 

Quattro units can connect to VE.Net and the ESP system panels. In this way, you can monitor and operate the whole system from a single point with everything at your fingertips – on-site or from the other side of the world if you like – the Quattro itself, the generator, battery monitors, tank meters and your Internet connection. Isn't freedom what it’s all about?

 

More sustainable energy

 

Solar energy, wind energy, micro-scale heating and power plants for homes and buildings are becoming increasingly popular. Often such sustainable energy resources are both connected to and feed power back into the grid. In the event of a power failure, therefore, one would imagine there would be enough energy available to keep your essential equipment working. Unfortunately, that is not the case. If the grid fails, so do your sustainable energy resources, leaving your computer, refrigerator, freezer, central heating pump, anti-burglary alarm system etc. without power. The solution? Install a Quattro and a battery or two in your home. The Quattro will replace the grid when needed and ensure that your sustainable energy resources remain in operation. How many devices and how much lighting can you keep using? That depends on battery capacity and the amount of sustainable power that is generated.
But one thing is certain: you will have power – always!

 

More convenience

 

Just a few LEDs and a switch – that’s all you need to operate a Quattro. And the same applies for installation. Shore-side power and a generator can both be connected directly to the Quattro. An AC transfer system is no longer required. The Quattro is unique in this regard too. Devices that you don't want powered by costly battery energy can simply be connected to the load shedding ‘boiler’ output. Configuration is just as easy with either our new, simple DIP switch system or with your notebook and free software. It's totally up to you!

 

More Security

 

A power failure? Or switching from generator to inverter operation? In that case, you must be able to rely on seamless transfer without noticeable effects on computers and other sensitive equipment. The Quattro will not let you down.
