Read MoreThe Victron Quattro is a 230V inverter charger that combines a pure sine wave inverter, a battery charger and an automatic transfer switch in one unit. Powerbox Australia supplies the range from 3kVA to 15kVA, with 12V, 24V and 48V battery models for systems ranging from a single vehicle or vessel to commercial off-grid sites.
What sets the Quattro apart is its two AC inputs. It can be connected to two independent sources, such as the grid and a generator, and switches automatically to whichever is available. Two AC outputs let critical loads keep running from the battery, while non-essential loads on the second output disconnect when no AC input is present, protecting the battery from being drained.
PowerControl limits the current drawn from a small generator or shore supply so the source is not overloaded, and PowerAssist draws on the battery to cover short peaks the source cannot meet on its own. A programmable relay can be set for alarms, generator start/stop or low DC voltage signalling.
Victron Quattro models
12/3000, 24/3000, 12/5000, 24/5000, 48/5000, 24/8000, 48/8000, 48/10000 and 48/15000, all 230V with VE.Bus.
Applications
- Off-grid power systems at remote sites
- Backup power for homes and businesses
- Hybrid solar systems combining grid, generator and battery
- Marine and mobile installations
Multiple Victron Quattro units can run in parallel for higher output, or be configured for split-phase and three-phase systems. Monitoring and configuration are available locally and remotely through a GX device and the VRM portal.

Features
- Dual AC Inputs with Integrated Transfer Switch: Automatically switches between two independent AC sources, such as the grid and a generator, for uninterrupted power.
- Two AC Outputs: Ensures continuous power for critical loads while isolating non-essential loads to prevent battery drain.
- PowerControl and PowerAssist: Manages limited generator or grid power and supplements peak power demands by drawing energy from the battery.
- Solar Integration: Compatible with off-grid and grid-connected solar systems, providing AC power even during grid failures.
- Virtually unlimited power through parallel operation.
- Scalable and Flexible: Supports parallel operation, three-phase configuration, and split-phase setups for large systems requiring up to 144 kW of inverter power.
- Comprehensive Monitoring: Local and remote monitoring through Bluetooth, the VRM portal, and GX devices, with options for real-time data tracking and system configuration.
- Programmable Relays: Tailor functions such as alarms, DC under-voltage, or generator start/stop for custom applications.
