Victron Energy Quattro 24/5000/120 Inverter/Charger | Tested

A used and tested Victron Energy Quattro 24/5000/120: two AC inputs, a 5000 VA sine wave inverter and a 120 A battery charger in one housing.

Overview

The Quattro is built for a vessel that lies at a berth as well as runs its own generator. It has two AC inputs and changes over between shore power and generator by itself; whatever is not used on board goes into the batteries. PowerAssist works the other way round: when the load asks more than a limited shore connection can give, the batteries make up the difference, so a small quay connection does not trip. The inverter puts out a pure sine wave, and units can be placed in parallel or in a three-phase set-up, with the charge curve, input current limit and transfer settings all programmable over VE.Bus.

Key features
