Description
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/500 turns 12V battery power into clean 230V mains electricity, letting you run mains appliances and tools from your boat or vehicle batteries. It delivers a true pure sine wave output, so sensitive electronics, chargers and motors run quietly and reliably, just as they would at home.
This Hudson Marine package supplies the inverter ready-fitted with a one-metre DEFA extension cable, so it drops straight into a DEFA based shore-power or interior-heater installation without extra wiring. The compact steel-cased unit offers a continuous 400W (500VA), a 900W surge for start-up loads, and a frugal ECO mode that cuts standby draw when nothing is connected. A two-pole remote on/off input and a VE.Direct data port make it easy to integrate and monitor.
