Victron Quattro 48/10000/140 10000VA Inverter Charger

The Victron Energy Quattro 48/10000/140-100/100 is a robust combined inverter and charger designed for off-grid, grid-tied, marine, RV, and backup power applications.

Below is a comprehensive overview of its key features, based on available information:

Key Features of the Victron Quattro 48/10000/140-100/100 (48V, 10000 VA)

Combined Inverter and Charger:Inverter: Converts 48V DC to 120V or 230V AC (depending on the model) with a pure sine wave output, ensuring compatibility with sensitive electronics.

Continuous Output Power: 10,000 VA (9000W at 25°C, 8000W at 40°C). Peak Power: 20,000W, capable of handling high inrush currents for starting heavy loads like motors or compressors.

Charger: 140A DC battery charger for efficient charging of 48V battery banks, compatible with lead-acid, lithium-ion (LiFePO4), and other battery types.

Two AC Inputs with Integrated Transfer Switch:Connects to two independent AC sources (e.g., grid, generator, or two generators) and automatically switches to the active source in less than 20 milliseconds, ensuring uninterrupted power for critical loads.

Maximum Feed-Through Current: 2 x 100A (230V models) or 50A (120V models).

Two AC Outputs:Main Output: No-break functionality, seamlessly supplying power to connected loads during grid or generator failure.

Second Output: Active only when AC input is available, ideal for non-critical loads (e.g., water heaters or air conditioners) to prevent battery drain.

PowerAssist Technology:Prevents overload of limited AC sources (e.g., generator or shore power) by:Automatically reducing battery charging when an overload is detected. Boosting AC output with battery power to supplement the source during high demand.

PowerControl:Manages limited AC input current by setting a maximum limit per input. The Quattro prioritizes other AC loads and uses spare capacity for battery charging, preventing overloads.

Parallel and Three-Phase Operation:Up to 6 (or 10, depending on model) units can be paralleled for increased power output (e.g., 90kW/100kVA and 1400A charging capacity for ten 48/10000 units).

Configurable for three-phase or split-phase operation (e.g., 120/240V or 230V/400V WYE), ideal for larger systems. Requires an autotransformer for neutral forming in split-phase setups.

Remote Monitoring and Control:When paired with a GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX), enables local (LAN) or remote monitoring/control via the Victron VRM app or portal on phones, tablets, or PCs. Supports advanced features like auto-starting a backup generator.

Adaptive Charging:Optimizes battery charging with a 4-stage adaptive process (bulk, absorption, float, storage) tailored to battery type and condition.

Charge voltages:Absorption: 57.6V DC Float: 55.2V DC Storage: 52.8V DC Supports lead-acid, lithium-ion, and other battery chemistries.

High Efficiency and Low Standby Power:Maximum efficiency: 96%. Zero-load power: 35W (standard), 30W in AES mode, 10W in Search mode. Versatile Applications:Suitable for off-grid, grid-connected PV systems, marine, RVs, industrial, and telecom applications. Supports AC power during grid failures with loss-of-mains detection software.

Configuration Flexibility:Basic settings adjustable via DIP switches. Advanced configuration through VE.Bus Quick Configure, VE.Bus System Configurator software, or VictronConnect using a VE.Bus to USB MK3-USB interface (sold separately).

Certifications and Warranty:UL 1741 and CSA C22.2 certified (for 120V models). 5-year standard warranty, extendable to 10 years in some regions with a surcharge.

Physical and Electrical Specifications:Input Voltage Range (DC): 37.2–64.4V.

AC Input: 187–265V AC, 45–65 Hz (230V models) or 120V for North American models.

Weight: Approximately 58 kg (128 lbs). Dimensions: Approximately 470mm (H) x 350mm (W) x 280mm (D) for 230V models.

Protection: IP21 (indoor use, steel housing).

Connections: M8 battery terminals, M6 brass studs for AC connections.

Additional Features:

True sine wave inverter for clean, stable power.

Built-in protection against low AC voltage, current surges, and thermal overload.

Programmable relays for external device control (e.g., generator start/stop).

Compatible with MPPT solar charge controllers and grid-tie inverters for Energy Storage Systems (ESS).
