What is this drawing about ?

This drawing has been setup for catamarans and can be used for sail or motor cats using !

24V DC with 230V/50Hz AC but can easily be used for 120V/60Hz as well.!

This Victron system works as follows:

This system has been build around the 5kVA Quattro with 3 x 200Ah 24 Volt Li battery capacity. !

Protection of the Li batteries from a charge and discharge point of view is in good hands with use

of the Lynx Smart BMS.!

To make sure you will not run out of power that easy, there are multiple charge possibilities

available for this setup:!

1. AC Shore Power that will enable the 5kVA Quattro to charge with 120 Amps towards the

Li batteries.!

2. AC Generator Power that will enable the 5kVA Quattro to charge with 120 Amps towards the

Li batteries.!

3. DC Solar Power that will enable the 2 x Smart Solar MPPT 100|50 to charge towards the Li

batteries. The total Charge capacity depends on the installed Solar array for each MPPT. !

4. DC Engine charging power with an extra 24V/110A Alternator mounted on each engine that

can either charge as standalone with 110 Amps or with both engines running with 220 Amps. !

Charge combinations of the above mentioned devices also are possible.!

DC Loads or users like lights, pumps, and so on, can be connected behind one of the two Smart

Battery Protect 220 where the loads are split between main fuse 1 till 5 and 6 till 10.!

AC Power will be available from the 5kVA Quattro Inverter/Charger the moment it has been

switched on. This means that without any AC power on the input, the Quattro will give you 5kVA

of inverter power on AC OUT-1. The moment AC Power is available on input AC IN-1 or AC IN-2,

of the Quattro, AC Power will be used to charge the batteries and also is available for loads

connected to AC OUT-1 and AC OUT-2. With use of the Cerbo one can adjust the available AC

Shore power to the maximum AC current the Quattro will use and this is where the Power Assist

function comes into play. Power Assist allows to supplement AC inverter power to for instance a

limited Shore power connection when needed.!

All information about the system and its connected Victron devices is clearly visible on the GX

Touch 50 Screen that is connected to the Cerbo GX. All AC Input power and AC Loads are clearly

visible. Here you can monitor what the SOC or state of charge is from your Li batteries and you

also can exactly see what discharge current runs away and what charge current comes into the

batteries. This will give you a rest asure feeling that you are in control of your “on board” AC and

DC power availability. More info about the system and its individual Victron parts used in this

installation are explained in more details down below.!

This is how the system has been setup:

Around the Victron Lithium Batteries 25.6V Smart and Lynx Distributor-1 (Dip switch Pos-A)

A Lynx Distributor is an easy to use and connect DC distribution system. It can hold 4 Mega fuses

and three of them are in use here. It is important to always start with connecting the negative

cable ﬁrst before connecting the positive for each distribution position. Read the manual for

additional information. !

1. The ﬁrst fuse position at the bottom of Distributor-1 holds a 300A fuse together with its lower

positioned negative for Li Battery-1.!

2. The second fuse position of Distributor-1 holds a 300A fuse together with its lower positioned

negative for Li Battery-2.!

3. The third fuse position of Distributor-1 holds a 300A fuse together with its lower positioned

negative for Li Battery-3.!

4. The forth fuse position of Distributor-1 holds a spare fuse together with its lower positioned

negative for a spare Li battery.!

Lynx Smart BMS:

The Lynx Smart BMS is connected between Lynx Distributor-1 and Lynx Distributor-2!

The BMS is the controlling safety heart of the system as this device protects the LiFePO4

batteries against over Voltage, under Voltage and high temperature. The Victron Lithium Batteries

25.6V Smart have an integrated Balancing, Temperature and Voltage control (acronym: BTV) and connect to the BMS connections with two M8 circular connector cable sets. The BTV’s of several batteries can be daisy chained like in this drawing with 3 connected batteries. When cables are not long enough, extensions cables are available in several lengths to ﬁt your purpose available from your Victron dealer. A shunt has been build inside this BMS in the negative connection bus.

2. The second fuse position of Distributor-2 holds a 150A fuse for the positive outputs of both Smart Solar charge controllers MPPT 100|50. The lower negative is used for the Quattro second negative connection as both negative outputs for the Solar charge controllers are connected to the negative Busbar. 3. The third fuse position of Distributor-2 holds a 250A fuse for Smart Battery Protect-1 220. Its lower positioned negative connection is used to connect to the Negative Busbar.

Next to Wakespeed WS500 Port, you will ﬁnd Smart Solar charge Controller MPPT 100|50 Port. Also visible here is a PV breaker/Isolator. The Solar array as shown in the drawing is just to visualize some solar panels and how things need to be connected. It might be a good idea that you use the free MPPT sizing calculator available from the Victron website. This is a great and accurate tool to size what you need on Solar panel power and charge controllers for your Van or Motorhome.

This is a NON Isolated DC System setup. When in doubt about how to continue with these connections, consult your Victron dealer. Read the Quattro manual carefully to proceed further. Maintenance Chargers for starter batteries 230V/50Hz AC: There are 3 Victron Blue Smart 12V 5A chargers in this drawing each with a 10A in-line fuse. AC power for all chargers comes from switched Load Quattro output AC Out-2 trough a breaker.

For more info read the latest available VRM manual. The VRM app is available for Android and iPhone users. Not being on board for a longer periode of time: Make sure to switch the Quattro to charger only. This prevents the inverter from draining the batteries when no AC input power is available. Switch oﬀ all unnecessary users. When proper calculations for both Solar systems were made, both solar arrays on Port and Stbd will maintain the batteries.
