victron energy QUA485021100 Quattro Inverter Charger
INSTRUCTIONS
Two AC inputs with integrated transfer switch
The Quattro can be connected to two independent AC sources, for example the
public grid and a generator, or two generators. The Quattro will automatically
connect to the active source.
Two AC Outputs
The main output has no-break functionality. The Quattro takes over the supply
to the connected loads in the event of a grid failure or when shore/generator
power is disconnected. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that
computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without
disruption.
The second output is live only when AC is available on one of the inputs of
the Quattro. Loads that should not discharge the battery, like a water heater
for example, can be connected to this output.
Split phase option
A split phase AC source can be obtained by connecting our autotransformer (see
data sheet on www.victronenergy.com) to a ‘European’ inverter programmed to
supply 240V / 60Hz.
Three phase capability
Three units can be configured for three phase output. But that’s not all: up
to 4 sets of three 15kVA units can be parallel connected to provide 144kW /
180kVA inverter power and 2400A charging capacity.
PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator, shore side or grid power
The Quattro is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot
of current from the generator or shore side supply (16A per 5kVA Quattro at
230VAC). A current limit can be set on each AC input. The Quattro will then
take account of other AC loads and use whatever is spare for charging, thus
preventing the generator or mains supply from being overloaded.
PowerAssist – Boosting shore or generator power
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension
allowing the Quattro to supplement the capacity of the alternative source.
Where peak power is so often required only for a limited period, the Quattro
will make sure that insufficient mains or generator power is immediately
compensated for by power from the battery. When the load reduces, the spare
power is used to recharge the battery.
Solar energy: AC power available even during a grid failure
The Quattro can be used in off grid as well as grid connected PV and other
alternative energy systems. Loss of mains detection software is available.
System configuring
- In case of a stand-alone application, if settings have to be changed, this can be done in a matter of minutes with a DIP switch setting procedure.
- Parallel and three phase applications can be configured with VE.Bus Quick Configure and VE.Bus System Configurator software.
- Off grid, grid interactive and self-consumption applications, involving grid-tie inverters and/or MPPT Solar Chargers can be configured with Assistants (dedicated software for specific applications).
On-site Monitoring and control
Several options are available: Battery Monitor, Multi Control Panel, Color
Control GX or other GX devices, smartphone or tablet (Bluetooth Smart), laptop
or computer (USB or RS232).
Remote Monitoring and control
Color Control GX or other GX devices. Data can be stored and displayed on our
VRM (Victron Remote Management) website, free of charge.
Remote configuring
When connected to the Ethernet, systems with a Color Control GX or other GX
device can be accessed and settings can be changed remotely.
