Today I powered up for the first time my new Victron Quattro 48/10000/140-100/100. With no Ac load on the inverter. I only had the battery wired to inverter and no other DC loads (just the victron BMV 712 meter) that consumes just 1w with it's back light on.
Inverter on no load consumption was showing 100w or just under 2A load on the battery.
Shunt is accurate and confirmed accuate before hand. That said I still went ahead and confirmed this 100w load reading with two other meters that gave me the same reading.
The specifications from Victron. list this inverter as having a 55w powered on idle consumption
I am a little shocked - disappointed that it consumes almost double the rated idle load.
Part of the reason I selected this inverter over other options was the listed idle consumption of 55w seemed reasonable for a 10,000va inverter.
At 100w it's 2.4kwh every day before I even use any AC power.
Is this a issue with my inverter or are the listed specs incorrect? Can anyone confirm the no load consumption of there victron Quattro inverter matches listed specs.
