Description
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/250 VE.Direct converts 12V battery power into a clean 120V AC supply, letting you run mains equipment from a leisure or starter battery aboard a boat, in a campervan or at an off-grid site. The full bridge and toroidal transformer design has proven its reliability over many years and is fully short circuit proof, with protection against overheating from overload or high ambient temperature.
Its pure sine wave output is identical in quality to grid power, so it drives sensitive electronics such as laptops, chargers and audio visual gear without interference. A generous 400W of peak power handles the brief surge that motors, pumps and electronic transformers draw at switch on, making it well suited to laptops, phone and tool chargers, LED lighting and small mains appliances.
The built in VE.Direct port connects to a phone, tablet or computer through an optional VE.Direct to USB cable or Bluetooth Smart dongle, giving live readings of input and output voltage, load and alarms. ECO mode drops the inverter to a low power standby when the load falls away, which conserves the battery during long unattended periods. This unit is fitted with a NEMA 5-15R outlet with GFCI protection. The GFCI outlet adds earth leakage protection for added safety.
