Victron Energy Phoenix VE.Direct 12VDC Inverter - 1200VA, 120V Output

Phoenix Inverter VE.Direct 12VDC - 1200VA - 120V

Inverters allow you to power domestic equipment - requiring 230V/120V AC - using 'leisure' or 'automotive' batteries rated at 12V, 24V, or 48VDC.

The VE.Direct port can be connected to:

• A computer (VE.Direct to USB interface cable needed)
• Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, MacBooks, and other devices (VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed)

Fully Configurable:

• Low battery voltage alarm trip and reset levels
• Low battery voltage cut-off and restart levels
• Dynamic cut-off: load dependent cut-off level
• Output voltage 210 - 245V
• Frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz

Proven reliability

The full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology has proven its reliability over many years. The inverters are short circuit proof and protected against overheating, whether due to overload or high ambient temperature.

High start-up power

Needed to start loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps, or electric tools.

ECO mode

When in ECO mode, the inverter will switch to standby when the load decreases below a preset value (min load: 15W). Once in standby the inverter will switch on for a short period (adjustable, default: every 2,5 seconds). If the load exceeds a preset level, the inverter will remain on.

Remote on/off

A remote on/off switch can be connected to a two-pole connector, or between battery plus and the left-hand contact of the two-pole connector.

To transfer the load to another AC source: the automatic transfer switch

For our low power inverters, we recommend our Filax Automatic Transfer Switch. The Filax features a very short switchover time (less than 20 milliseconds) so that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.

• ECO mode on/off and ECO mode sense level

Monitoring

• In- and output voltage, % load, and alarms

DC connection with screw terminals

• No special tools needed for installation

The Victron Energy Phoenix VE.Direct 12VDC inverter delivers reliable power conversion for a variety of off-grid and mobile applications. Designed to operate from 12V, 24V, or 48VDC batteries, this inverter supplies up to 1200 volt-amps (VA) of clean, stable AC power suitable for residential appliances, power tools, and electronic devices. Its full bridge and toroidal transformer topology ensures proven durability and offers short circuit protection, overheating protection, and high efficiency for demanding environments. The inverter’s robust construction makes it suitable for continuous use in challenging conditions, providing peace of mind for both professional and recreational users.

Equipped with a VE.Direct port, it allows seamless connection to computers via a VE.Direct to USB interface cable, or to smartphones, tablets, and MacBooks using a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. This connectivity enables remote monitoring and configuration of critical parameters such as low battery voltage alarms, load-dependent cut-offs, output voltage (210 to 245V), and frequency (50 or 60 Hz). The inverter's fully configurable settings ensure optimal performance tailored to specific systems and loads. Its high start-up power capability efficiently handles loads like LED and halogen lighting, as well as power tools, making it suitable for both home and mobile setups.

Fuel efficiency and energy savings are enhanced through the ECO mode, which switches the inverter into standby when the load drops below 15W. The inverter periodically reactivates to check if the load has increased, maintaining power availability without unnecessary energy consumption. Additionally, a remote on/off switch can be connected for convenient control from a distance. For seamless power transfer, especially critical during outages or switching between sources, the inverter can be paired with an automatic transfer switch like the Victron Filax, which switches in less than 20 milliseconds to prevent disruption of sensitive electronics. Monitoring features include real-time data on input/output voltage, load percentage, and alarm statuses, providing comprehensive oversight of the system’s performance.

Installation is simplified with screw terminals for DC connections, eliminating the need for special tools. The compact design and reliable operation make this inverter an excellent choice for off-grid homes, RVs, boats, or backup power systems.
