Description
xVictron Quattro 12/5000/220-100/100 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger
The Victron Quattro 12/5000/220-100/100 is a 5000VA inverter charger with a 12V DC input, 220A battery charger, and dual AC inputs. It is designed for professional off-grid, marine, and backup power installations where two separate AC sources (such as shore power and a generator) need to be managed automatically alongside battery charging and inverting.
Key Features
- 5000VA continuous inverter output at 230V AC from a 12V DC battery bank.
- 220A battery charger with adaptive charge algorithm, configurable for multiple battery chemistries including lithium, AGM, gel and flooded lead-acid.
- Dual AC inputs allow automatic switching between two AC sources (grid, shore power, or generator) with no break in output power.
- PowerControl and PowerAssist functions limit the load on the AC input and supplement it with battery power when demand exceeds the input current limit.
- VE.Bus communication interface enables system integration with Victron GX devices, Venus OS, and remote monitoring via VRM portal.
- Programmable relay and configurable input current limits via VEConfigure software.
- Two AC outputs: AC-Out 1 remains live even when the inverter is off (pass-through), AC-Out 2 can be programmed to disconnect under low battery conditions.
- Parallel and three-phase operation supported: multiple units can be combined for higher power or three-phase systems.
Product Overview
The Quattro 12/5000/220 manages two AC inputs simultaneously. When both sources are available, it selects the preferred input automatically. If that source fails or is disconnected, it switches to the second input without interruption. When neither AC source is present, the unit inverts from the battery bank. This makes it well suited to installations where a generator supplements shore power or grid supply, and uninterrupted power is a requirement.
The 220A charger is substantial for a 12V system and is intended for large battery banks where fast recharge time matters. The adaptive charge algorithm adjusts charge current based on battery acceptance, reducing charge time and battery stress. The 100A pass-through rating on each AC input means the unit can handle significant connected loads without the inverter stage being active, passing AC directly to the output while simultaneously charging.
VE.Bus connectivity is central to how the Quattro integrates into a wider Victron system. Connected to a Cerbo GX or similar GX device, the unit can be monitored and configured remotely, participate in ESS (Energy Storage System) configurations, and respond to grid codes or generator start/stop signals. Parallel stacking allows multiple Quattro units to share load, and three-phase configurations are supported for commercial or industrial applications.

Installation Notes
The Quattro 12/5000/220 operates at 12V DC with a 220A charger output, requiring appropriately rated DC cabling and fusing for a high-current 12V system. At these current levels, cable sizing and connection quality are critical to safe operation. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with Victron systems. For any grid-connected or generator-integrated installation in the UK, compliance with current wiring regulations (BS 7671) and relevant grid codes must be observed. Configuration requires Victron VEConfigure software and a VE.Bus to USB interface cable (sold separately).
