The Quattro 12/5000/220-100/100 Hybrid Inverter stands as the definitive flagship model within Victron Energy’s low-voltage 12V hybrid inverter portfolio. Specifically engineered for heavy-duty professional and industrial challenges, this robust unit delivers a continuous power rating of up to 5,000 VA. It features an ultra-powerful integrated 220 A battery charger, dual independent AC inputs, and comprehensive compatibility with off-grid, hybrid, and grid-tied Energy Storage Systems (ESS).
This hardware serves as a foundational component in demanding engineering designs where absolute power continuity, seamless scalability, and maximum operational safety with large-capacity battery banks, including modern Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) cells, are of paramount importance.
For high-capacity installations, these units are frequently deployed in three-phase layouts. For example, a base cluster of three inverters creates a 400V, 15 kVA network. For larger demands, you can synchronize parallel groups (up to 4 clusters of 3 units) to scale the overall capacity of the three-phase system to an extreme 60 kVA / 48 kW benchmark.
Key Advantages of the Quattro 12/5000/220-100/100 Inverter
- Exceptional Performance: Rated at 5,000 VA / 4,000 W continuous, with a short-term peak capacity reaching up to 10,000 W.
- Dual AC Inputs with Smart Built-in ATS — handles automatic transfer switching seamlessly between the utility grid and an auxiliary generator (or two different generator sets).
- Every AC Input Supports Proprietary PowerControl and PowerAssist — a perfect solution when running off a lower-capacity external AC source, allowing the inverter to supplement weak current dynamically by drawing from the battery bank.
- Dual AC Outputs – the main AC-1 output guarantees uninterrupted backup power with a ultra-fast transfer time under 20 ms. The auxiliary AC-2 line activates only when external utility or generator power is present, safeguarding the batteries from being rapidly drained by non-essential heavy loads (such as hot water heaters).
- Massive Transfer Capacity of 100 A or 22 kW – the maximum straight-through transit current is rated at 100 A per input, allowing you to pass high grid power through the system without worrying about overloading the inverter's bypass lines.
- High Efficiency up to 94% paired with remarkably stable performance under continuous heavy electrical loads.
- Pure Sine Wave Output — provides pristine power delivery for sensitive electronics without compromises.
- 220 A Battery Charger — delivers highly efficient charging parameters tailored for 12V battery configurations. The inverter's wide input range of 9.5–17V makes it perfectly optimized for 4S LiFePO₄ lithium assemblies.
- Direct LiFePO₄ Integration with Data Exchange over VE.Bus or via GX Devices — secure, reliable, and long-lasting communication setup.
- Industrial-Grade Aluminum Enclosure with an IP20 protection rating, fully operational in harsh environments ranging from –20°C to +60°C.
- Scalable up to 48 kW / 60 kVA — supports parallel connection of up to 12 devices in a single three-phase grid layout.
Advanced Technical Features
Dual AC Inputs with Integrated Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
- The Quattro can be permanently wired to two separate, independent AC sources simultaneously: for instance, public grid utility + generator, or two distinct generator setups.
- The hardware automatically toggles over to the active power line according to your user-defined priorities.
- The transition occurs in less than 20 milliseconds, which means computers, server racks, and critical IT equipment continue running without a single reboot (true UPS functionality).
- Custom current thresholds (PowerControl) can be assigned to each individual input line to prevent overloading a weak generator set or shore power line.
Optimized for Solar Applications
- Renewable energy integration is where the Quattro truly excels. It performs optimally in:
- Complete off-grid configurations;
- ESS setups running alongside MPPT charge controllers or grid-tied PV inverters;
- Real-time solar consumption patterns and dynamic eco-efficiency modes.
- The proprietary VE.Bus interface permits effortless system programming via GX system controllers (Cerbo GX / Ekrano GX) or the VE.Configure software suite, making it adaptable to any custom solar infrastructure.
Professional ESS Control Logic
Provides out-of-the-box support for:
- maximizing solar self-consumption from your PV array;
- maintaining reliable backup during utility grid failures;
- smart time-of-use scheduling (e.g., off-peak night charging – peak-hour day discharging);
- complex automation scripts via Victron Assistants or the VRM cloud portal.
LiFePO₄ Support – Advanced Telemetry
The Quattro 12/5000/220-100/100 is purpose-built to sync seamlessly with modern lithium batteries (LiFePO₄). Deep system integration with external BMS hardware and GX control modules delivers:
- Automated, intelligent charge profile stages (absorption voltage, float stages, storage mode).
- Multi-tiered fail-safe safeguards protecting the cell cluster against over-temperature, over-charging, over-voltage, or deep discharging.
- Pinpoint accuracy for State of Charge (SOC) tracking and real-time internal temperature metrics.
- Enhanced operational safety alongside a substantial extension of the lithium cell service life.
Target Applications
- Industrial facilities and commercial venues requiring high-power delivery and absolute process uptime.
- Commercial buildings, business hubs, and medical centers needing critical circuit redundancy.
- Large-scale hybrid or fully off-grid solar power stations.
- Mobile platforms (RVs, motorhomes, specialty service fleets) and marine assets (yachts, commercial vessels) utilizing a 12V onboard electrical network.
- Telecommunication nodes, server rooms, and critical data centers – uninterrupted infrastructure backup.
Certified with ECE R10-4 Automotive Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards
The 12V and 24V variants of the Victron Quattro inverter lineups are officially certified under the ECE R10-4 regulation. This is a strict international automotive regulatory standard governing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for electronics installed onboard vehicular assets.
What does ECE R10-4 Certification mean for Victron Energy hardware?
Low Electromagnetic Emissions
- The inverter produces no radio frequency interference that could disrupt factory electronic modules, marine/automotive radio systems, GPS positioning, autopilots, or cellular communication lines.
High Electromagnetic Immunity
- The unit maintains steady operation under harsh environment conditions, coping easily with electrical noise, sudden voltage drops, ripples, or inductive spikes common in the alternator circuits of heavy-duty trucks, buses, and commercial craft.
Safe Integration into Mobile Architectures
- Compliance with UNECE (ECE) guidelines guarantees that the inverter can be legally integrated into vehicles without risking the performance of critical onboard safety electronics (such as ABS brakes or ESP systems).
Communication and Monitoring Interfaces
- VE.Bus – the core system port required to establish parallel or three-phase configurations, link to GX monitoring panels, and adjust advanced setup options.
- USB/RS232 (via MK3-USB interface) – enables localized parameter setup using a PC alongside the VE.Configure desktop software or the VictronConnect mobile app.
- VE.Bus Smart Dongle – an optional Bluetooth add-on providing localized wireless tracking of voltage metrics, temperatures, and current operational states right on your smartphone.
- GX System Controllers (Cerbo GX / Ekrano GX) – gateway modules that open access to VE.Can, VE.Direct, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and USB connectivity. They bridge your entire electrical ecosystem (MPPT charge controllers, smart shunts, batteries with BMS) into a unified portal, making tracking, custom analytics, and structural diagnostics exceptionally easy from anywhere in the world via the free VRM cloud platform.
