Victron Quattro 10000W Inverter Charger 24/48v 10Kw

The Victron Quattro 10000W Inverter Charger is a powerful and intelligent all-in-one power solution, combining a true sine wave inverter, an adaptive battery charger, and a high-speed AC transfer switch within a single robust unit. Designed for demanding applications, this 10kW powerhouse can seamlessly manage two independent AC sources, such as the grid and a generator, ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted power supply. Whether you’re looking for a robust off-grid system, a dependable backup solution against power outages (a common concern in Nairobi, Kenya), or a smart way to optimize your energy consumption with solar, the Quattro delivers exceptional performance and versatility. Its ability to integrate with various energy sources and its intelligent power management features make it a cornerstone of advanced power systems.  

Key Features:

• High Power Output (10000W / 10kVA): Provides ample power to run a wide range of household, commercial, and even light industrial appliances and equipment.
• Two AC Inputs with Automatic Transfer Switch: Allows connection to two separate AC sources (e.g., mains grid and generator) with automatic and seamless switching to the active source, guaranteeing a continuous power supply.   
• Two AC Outputs:
  • Main Output: Supplies uninterrupted power. In the event of a grid failure or AC source disconnection, the Quattro instantly takes over the supply to connected loads, ensuring seamless operation of critical devices.   
  • Secondary Output: Active only when AC is available on one of the Quattro’s inputs. This allows you to connect non-essential loads that should not drain the battery during outages.   
• Pure Sine Wave Inverter: Produces high-quality AC power that is safe and suitable for all electronic devices, including sensitive equipment like computers, medical devices, and audio-visual systems.   
• Powerful Battery Charger (Up to 160A depending on voltage): Features sophisticated adaptive charging algorithms that optimize the charging process for your 24V or 48V battery bank, maximizing battery lifespan and performance.   
• PowerAssist: Intelligently boosts the capacity of a limited AC source (like a generator or a weak grid connection) by supplementing it with power from the battery when peak demands exceed the source’s capability. This prevents overloads and tripping of circuit breakers.   
• PowerControl: Enables you to set a maximum AC input current limit. The Quattro will then prioritize powering AC loads and only use surplus power for battery charging, preventing overloading the AC source.   
• Scalable Power through Parallel Operation: Up to 10 Quattro units can be connected in parallel to achieve even higher power output for larger energy demands.
• Three-Phase Capability: Three Quattro units can be configured to provide a powerful three-phase AC power supply. Multiple three-phase sets can also be paralleled for very high power applications.   
• Remote Monitoring and Control: When connected to a Victron GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX), you can monitor and control your Quattro and the entire power system locally or remotely via the internet using the free Victron VRM (Victron Remote Management) portal and app. This is particularly useful for managing systems in locations like Nairobi.   
• Programmable Relays: Offers customizable relays that can be used for various control functions, such as automatically starting a generator or triggering alarms.   
• VE.Bus Communication Port: Facilitates parallel and three-phase operation, remote monitoring, and seamless integration with other Victron Energy products.   
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Functionality: The near-instantaneous transfer between AC sources ensures a true UPS function, guaranteeing continuous operation of critical loads during power disruptions, a significant benefit in areas prone to outages like Nairobi.   

Applications:

The Victron Quattro 10000W Inverter Charger is ideal for a wide range of demanding power applications, especially relevant in the context of Nairobi and Kenya:

• Large Residential Backup Power Systems: Provides reliable backup for entire homes, ensuring essential appliances, lighting, and security systems remain operational during power outages.
• Commercial Backup Power: Suitable for small to medium-sized businesses, offices, and shops, ensuring business continuity during grid failures by powering critical equipment like computers, servers, and point-of-sale systems.
• Off-Grid Solar Power Systems: Forms the core of powerful off-grid systems for homes, lodges, and small communities, providing a stable and reliable AC power source from solar and battery storage.
• Hybrid Power Systems: Optimizes the integration of solar, generator, and grid power to maximize energy efficiency, reduce reliance on the grid, and provide robust backup capabilities.   
• Small Industrial Applications: Can power certain machinery and equipment in workshops and small industrial settings where reliable power is essential.
• Telecommunication Sites: Provides reliable backup power for communication equipment, ensuring network uptime during grid interruptions.
• Larger Marine Vessels and RVs: Suitable for powering the extensive electrical systems found on larger boats, yachts, and recreational vehicles.
• Energy Storage Systems (ESS): Integrates seamlessly with battery banks to manage energy storage for self-consumption, peak shaving, and grid support.
