Victron Quattro 15000w Inverter Charger 24/48v 15kw

The Victron Quattro 15000W Inverter Charger is a high-power, true sine wave inverter, adaptive battery charger, and multi-functional power hub designed for demanding energy systems. This robust unit seamlessly integrates two AC inputs with an automatic transfer switch, allowing connection to both grid and generator power. With its substantial 15000W output capacity, it can power large residential, commercial, and industrial loads, making it an ideal solution for areas like Nairobi, Kenya, where power reliability can be a concern and larger backup systems are required. Its intelligent power management features, including PowerAssist and PowerControl, ensure efficient and reliable operation, optimizing energy usage and preventing overloads.   

Key Features:

• High Power Output (15000W / 15kVA): Provides significant power to run a wide range of high-demand appliances, machinery, and critical equipment.   
• Two AC Inputs with Automatic Transfer Switch: Enables connection to two independent AC sources (e.g., grid and generator) with seamless, automatic switching to the active source, ensuring uninterrupted power.   
• Two AC Outputs:
  • Main Output: Supplies continuous power. In the event of AC source failure, the Quattro instantly takes over, powering connected loads without interruption, crucial for sensitive equipment.   
  • Secondary Output: Active only when AC is available on one of the inputs, allowing connection of non-critical loads that should not drain the battery during outages.   
• Pure Sine Wave Inverter: Delivers high-quality AC power that is safe and suitable for all electronic devices, including sensitive medical equipment, computers, and audio-visual systems.
• Powerful Battery Charger (Up to 200A depending on voltage): Features advanced adaptive charging algorithms to optimize the charging of your 24V or 48V battery bank, maximizing battery life and performance.   
• PowerAssist: Intelligently boosts the capacity of a limited AC source (generator or weak grid) by drawing additional power from the battery when peak demands exceed the source’s capability, preventing overloads and circuit breaker trips.   
• PowerControl: Allows setting a maximum AC input current limit. The Quattro prioritizes powering AC loads and only uses 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 very large energy requirements.
• 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 extremely high power applications.  
• Remote Monitoring and Control: When integrated with a Victron GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX), the system can be monitored and controlled locally or remotely via the internet using the free Victron VRM (Victron Remote Management) portal and app. This is invaluable for system management and troubleshooting, even in remote locations around Nairobi.   
• Programmable Relays: Offers customizable relays for various control functions, such as generator start/stop or alarm triggers.
• VE.Bus Communication Port: Facilitates parallel and three-phase operation, remote monitoring, and seamless integration with other Victron Energy components.   
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Functionality: The rapid transfer between AC sources ensures a true UPS function, guaranteeing continuous operation of critical loads during power disruptions, a significant advantage in areas with frequent outages like Nairobi.

Applications:

The Victron Quattro 15000W Inverter Charger is designed for high-demand power applications, particularly relevant in Nairobi and Kenya:

• Large Off-Grid Solar Power Systems: Ideal for powering substantial homes, businesses, and institutions relying solely on solar energy and requiring significant battery storage.   
• Critical Backup Power Systems: Provides robust and reliable backup power for large residential complexes, commercial buildings, hospitals, data centers, and industrial facilities facing frequent or prolonged power outages.
• Hybrid Power Systems for Large Loads: Optimizes the integration of solar, generator, and grid power for maximum energy efficiency and cost savings in high-consumption environments.
• Industrial and Commercial Applications: Powers heavy machinery, large appliances, and critical processes in factories, workshops, and commercial establishments.
• Telecommunication Towers and Infrastructure: Ensures uninterrupted power for essential communication equipment, maintaining network connectivity during grid failures.
• Large Marine Vessels and Offshore Installations: Provides reliable power for demanding electrical systems on large boats, yachts, and offshore platforms.
• Grid-Tied Systems with Battery Storage: Enables peak shaving, self-consumption optimization, and grid support functions in large-scale energy storage installations.
• Agricultural and Irrigation Systems: Powers large pumps and other agricultural equipment in areas with unreliable grid access.
