VE Bus with different output voltage Quattros

I'm currently sorting some issues on a previously installed system on a boat. The boat has both 110V and 230V.

There are 2 x 12/5000 120v Quattros in parallel on the 120V side, these are supplied by either shore power of through the generator on AC 1. Why the previous installer fitted Quattros and didn't bring the shore power in, I dont know.


There is 1 x 12/5000 230V Quattro on the 230V side, supplied only by 230V.

The system has a CCGX, Lynx BMS 3 x VE CAN Solar MPPTs and Victron batteries.

Only the 120V Quattros are connected to the CCGX and therefore managed by DVCC, the 230V Quattro is not.

Can the 230V Quattro be also placed on the VE Bus and be managed by DVCC and show as an AC input?

Same FW in all units.

No. Only one system can be managed, the other may appear for visibility only. Which one it listens to depends what it sees first. It is not a supported config.

No. One GX - one VE bus system.

It can be connected with an mk3 to usb for basic monitoring only (no control) and not on the main tiles.

You could add a shunt and add a has DC system tile. But it wont show AC loads.
