Victron system, eg4 Chargeveter

[WD56]

Hey there, I have a victron system with a Quattro and I want to use the eg4 Chargeverter.
Am I okay to connect the chargeveter cables to the busbars?
I have a 48 volt battleborn battery bank.
See photos.

Thanks for the help.

Yes. Fuse/breaker the (+) conductor.

Thread 'Charging from multiple sources'

One can have as many independent charging sources running concurrently as they like provided they are programmed properly for the voltage of one's battery bank.

Examples (some or all at once, even multiples of a single type, different brands, etc.):

1. Solar PV via MPPT
2. Solar PV via PWM
3. AC-DC input via MPPT (using a AC to DC power supply feeding an MPPT solar controller with voltage/current consistent with a solar panel)
4. Wind with suitable controller
5. Grid/Generator AC via inverter/charger
6. Grid/Generator AC via RV AC-DC converter
7. Hydro with suitable...

Thanks. Any idea on how to calculate the fuse size ? The generator can put out 7500 watts

The chargeverter cannot put out more than 100A.
I fused my + chargeverter connection to the + busbar at 125A.
The chargeverter has its own DC breaker, but I certainly do not trust it.

The Chargeverter is rated to push up to 100 amps. That works out to just a bit over 5,000 watts, so your generator should be able to top it out. The 125 amp suggestion is good to prevent false trips. Make sure to run cable that is safe at 125 amps.
