My understanding is the Quattro can output 5000 KVA in total, is that split between each leg? Does that mean each leg is limited to 2.5kva split evenly? or can it be unbalanced?

5k Quattro Max Inverting Output per leg
It is 5kva total (4000W). Depending on application.
For example on a backup system, loads you don't want to ever switch off are on AC1. (lights wifi, fridge) so not high loads but critical.
Non essential loads on AC2. These can then be programmed to auto powercut in the case of low SOC to prioritise critical loads. Or programmed to load shed if a person accidentally switches on too many big draw items. In its default programming AC2 is off when there is no grid connection.
Ok, it was my understanding the Quattro is Split phase, and does AC1 and AC2 all the time , it seems like that might be configurable then?
Yes you can configure the behavior of AC OUT 2 but it is still the same phase.
Victron only has single phase devices.
If you need split-phase you need two units and configure them to work together as a split-phase system.
No not split phase.
If split phase is what you are looking for then you need the multi II 2x120.
Or you can configure two units in split phase but make sure you get the right models.
The 2x120 unit is not split phase either. It will pass through split phase from input to output but when inverting both L1 and L2 are same phase which of corse means you cant invert for 240v loads.
