Victron Quattro 8000w80a 24/48V Inverter Charger

The Victron Quattro 8000W 80A Inverter Charger is a powerful and versatile device that combines a true sine wave inverter with an adaptive battery charger and a high-speed AC transfer switch. This multi-functional unit can accept two AC inputs and automatically connect to the active source, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, especially in areas like Nairobi, Kenya, where grid power can be unreliable. Whether you need a robust off-grid power solution, a reliable backup system, or a way to optimize your energy usage with solar, the Quattro delivers exceptional performance and flexibility. Its ability to integrate seamlessly with generators, solar arrays, and the grid makes it a cornerstone of sophisticated power systems.  

Key Features:

• Two AC Inputs with Integrated Transfer Switch: Connect to two independent AC sources (e.g., grid and generator) with automatic switching to the active source. This ensures a seamless power supply.   
• Two AC Outputs:
  • Main Output: Provides uninterrupted power. In case of a grid failure or disconnection of AC sources, the Quattro takes over the supply to connected loads within milliseconds, ensuring continuous operation of sensitive equipment.   
  • 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 discharge the battery.   
• Pure Sine Wave Inverter: Delivers high-quality AC power that is safe for all electronic devices, including sensitive equipment like computers and medical devices.
• Powerful Battery Charger with Adaptive Charging Technology: Ensures optimal charging of your battery bank (24V or 48V) based on its condition, maximizing battery life and performance. It can handle a significant charge current of up to 80A.
• PowerAssist: Boosts the capacity of a limited AC source (like a generator or weak grid connection) by supplementing it with power from the battery. This prevents overloads and tripping of circuit breakers when powering high-demand appliances.   
• PowerControl: Allows you to set a maximum AC input current. The Quattro will then prioritize powering AC loads and only use surplus power for battery charging, preventing overloading the AC source.   
• Virtually Unlimited Power through Parallel Operation: Up to 10 Quattro units can be connected in parallel to achieve higher power output for larger energy demands.
• Three-Phase Capability: Three Quattro units can be configured to provide a three-phase AC output. Additionally, up to 10 sets of three units can be paralleled for very large three-phase systems.   
• Remote Monitoring and Control: When connected to a 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 VRM (Victron Remote Management) portal and app.   
• Programmable Relays: Offers programmable relays that can be used for various functions, such as starting a generator or triggering alarms.
• VE.Bus Communication Port: Enables parallel and three-phase operation, remote monitoring, and system integration with other Victron Energy products.   
• UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Functionality: The seamless transfer between AC sources ensures that connected loads continue to operate without interruption during power outages, crucial for sensitive equipment and business continuity in Nairobi.   

Applications:

The Victron Quattro 8000W 80A Inverter Charger is ideal for a wide range of applications, particularly where reliable and versatile power management is essential in Nairobi and Kenya:

• Off-Grid Solar Power Systems: Provides a robust and intelligent solution for homes, businesses, and remote locations relying solely on solar energy and battery storage.
• Backup Power Systems: Ensures uninterrupted power supply during frequent grid outages, safeguarding essential appliances, communication equipment, and critical loads in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
• Hybrid Power Systems: Optimizes the use of multiple power sources, such as solar, generator, and the grid, to minimize energy costs and maximize energy independence.   
• Marine and Mobile Applications: Suitable for boats, yachts, RVs, and other mobile applications requiring a high-power, reliable AC source and intelligent battery charging.
• Commercial and Industrial Use: Powers various equipment, machinery, and critical infrastructure in businesses, workshops, and industrial facilities.
• Telecommunications and IT Infrastructure: Provides reliable backup power for sensitive electronic equipment, ensuring continuous operation of communication networks and IT systems.
• Energy Storage Systems (ESS): Integrates seamlessly with battery banks to store and manage energy for later use, optimizing self-consumption of renewable energy and providing grid support functions.
