Victron Quattro 10kVA 48V Three-Phase Capable Inverter-Charger

Victron Quattro 10kVA 48V — The Professional’s Choice for Reliable Power

The Victron Quattro is Victron Energy’s flagship inverter-charger, representing the gold standard in reliability and versatility for professional energy installations. Where the MultiPlus-II has one AC input, the Quattro has two — allowing simultaneous connection to both grid and a backup generator, with intelligent switching between them.

Dual AC Input — Unique to the Quattro

The Quattro’s dual AC input is a game-changer for sites with a generator backup. When grid power fails, the Quattro seamlessly switches to the generator input without interruption. When the generator runs, the Quattro charges batteries from it while simultaneously powering loads — eliminating the need to manually manage switching between power sources.

Three-Phase Configuration

Three Quattro units can be configured as a balanced three-phase system using Victron’s VE.Bus communication protocol. This makes the Quattro the professional choice for commercial three-phase off-grid and hybrid installations requiring extreme reliability.

Off-Grid and Island Mode

The Quattro is designed for complete off-grid use — on farms, remote properties, and industrial sites without grid access. Combined with Victron’s SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers and a GX monitoring device, it forms the backbone of a comprehensive, remotely-monitored off-grid power system.

FAQ

What is the difference between the Victron Quattro and MultiPlus-II?

The primary difference is the number of AC inputs: the Quattro has two (grid + generator), while the MultiPlus-II has one. The Quattro also has a higher battery charger current and is typically used in more complex commercial or critical installations.

Does the Quattro support ESS (Energy Storage System) mode?

Yes. The Victron Quattro is fully compatible with Victron’s ESS assistant for grid-tied self-consumption, allowing it to minimize grid imports while supporting a two-way meter for feed-in if your municipality permits.

Is Victron equipment well-supported in South Africa?

Yes. Victron is one of the most widely used premium inverter brands in South Africa, with a strong distributor network and extensive local installer expertise.
