Using 2 generators as AC 1 and AC 2 on a Quattro 15kva

HI Can I use 2 generators at the same time on a quattro AC1 and AC2, I have a 5kva and 10kva and need to switch on both together and check. Any feedback?

If that is AC input on one quattro then no.

A quattro will accept power on only one input. if it is receiving voltage on AC 1 in and AC 2 in it will prioritise ac1 in and reject ac2 in.

Check the frequency and voltage the generator puts out. You might need to adjust it if possible. (Engine speed under load is important)

Some lights, particularly leds are sensitive to lower than 50.

@Alexandra So nothing to do with the quattro settings right? Can I untick the weak ac input or can I leave it as it is

Use weak ac if you think it will help with charging, but the lights flicker is voltage and frequency related.
