Victron Quattro 10kVA 48V — Dual-Input Professional Power Management
The Victron Quattro is unique among inverter-chargers: it has two separate AC inputs, allowing simultaneous connection to both grid power and a generator. The Quattro intelligently manages all three power sources — grid, generator, and solar/battery — to keep your loads powered at all times with maximum efficiency and minimum running costs.

Dual AC Input — The Quattro Advantage
When Eskom power is available, the Quattro uses it to power loads and charge batteries. When load shedding hits, it switches to battery/solar. When batteries are depleted and solar is insufficient, it can automatically start a generator on AC Input 2 — all without any intervention and without interrupting the load. This three-source management is what makes the Quattro the choice for farms and lodges where reliability is non-negotiable.
Automatic Generator Start
Via a Victron Cerbo GX, the Quattro can automatically start and stop a generator based on battery state of charge, time of day, or incoming load. This eliminates manual generator management and ensures batteries are never flat when power is needed.
FAQ
Can the Quattro charge batteries from both grid and generator simultaneously?
The Quattro can charge from either AC input, but not both simultaneously. It selects the active input automatically based on your priority settings and availability.
Does the Quattro include a solar charge controller?
No. Solar is connected via external Victron SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers communicating with the Quattro via VE.Bus through a Cerbo GX device.
Is the Quattro worth the premium over the MultiPlus-II?
If you have or plan to have a generator, yes — the dual AC input eliminates additional transfer switch hardware and provides seamless, automatic source management. If you have no generator and rely solely on grid + solar + battery, the MultiPlus-II is the better value choice.





Ronette du Toit –
We run a small business from home and could not afford downtime. The Victron Quattro 10kVA 48V Dual-Input Inverter-Charger has given us complete peace of mind. It transitions to battery in milliseconds during an outage and we do not even notice the switch. Fast delivery and good comms from PowerVault.
