HARGER
The Victron Quattro inverter/charger is the heart and brains of your boat's
AC electrical system. It takes the role of three separate devices and rolls
them into a single smart and efficient package. It functions as a 200A
charging source for your 12V batteries, a 5,000w inverter for your AC
electrical loads,
and an automatic hands-free transfer switch
Charging
When
SHORE POWER
is connected to a 120 v 30-amp shore
power supply or when the
GENERATOR
is on, the
INVERTER
charges both
HOUSE BATTERIES, and
the
PORT
and
STBD ENGINE START Batteri
es via two
voltage sensing relays. There are also two 135A breakers locates in the
forward starboard battery compartment to share the charge between the
house and start batteries. Ensure that these breakers are on if a battery
keeps losing charge.
Inverting
This operates accessories that require 120V AC, such as the
COOKTOP, MICROWAVE, TV,
and
OUTLET/RECEPTACLES
. These circuits will
remain on whenever the Quattro is on and connected to the 12v DC
House batteries. Like the charging above, inverter function is automatic.
Water heater and air conditioning loads are not available on the inverter
output. The Quattro will turn off it's inverter function if the House batteries
drop below 11.8V, preventing a dead battery.
Transferring
The Quattro has a built-in automatic transfer switch. It will
automatically connect and disconnect both the shore power and generator
feeds without any user intervention. If both shore power and generator
feeds are active, the Quattro will favor the shore power by default and
switch to the generator when the blat is unplugged.
Smart Features
The Quattro also has some smart capabilities built in. For
example, it is programmed not to let loads exceed the roughly 30A available
on both shore power or generator. If your loads exceed this value, the
Quattro will automatically take power from the batteries and turn on the
inverter to add power to the AC system. For example, if the air conditioning
is running along with the water heater and the load is at 30A, and you
decide to use the microwave, the Quattro will automatically run the
microwave from the inverter. Once the overload condition is over, the
inverter turns off, and the Quattro will automatically start recharging the
batteries. The Quattro can also adapt it's DC charging rate to also not
exceed available AC power.
The controller for the inverter is the color screen located on the AC panel.
From here you can monitor functions of the charger/inverter as well as set
different parameters. For example, if you are at a dock with only a 15A
receptacle, you can "dial down" the AC input amps on the controller and
prevent the Quattro from exceeding the amperage available.

ONDING
The boat’s bonding system connects underwater metal fittings and strainers
to the sacrificial anode and the boat’s negative bus bar. For the anode to
protect an underwater part, the connection must be clean and secure. The
green wires that make up this system don’t normally carry current.
