These not only offer 15kVA inverter power and up to 30kW peak power for starting currents, they also have an integrated transfer switch that switches between shore power, generator and inverter operation without interruption. This represents a considerable improvement on the factory-fitted manual power-switching provision.<br \/>\nAnother advantage of this system is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/upload\/documents\/Datasheet-Quattro-3kVA-15kVA-EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">PowerAssist<\/a> function, which actively limits the current drawn from the shore power or generator and covers peak loads via the integrated inverter.
