Description

The Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/1200 VE.Direct converts 48V battery power into a clean 230V pure sine wave AC supply, ideal for running sensitive electronics aboard a boat or in an off-grid installation. Built around a proven full-bridge and toroidal transformer topology, it delivers dependable power with the low standby draw that makes it well suited to long unattended use.

An integrated VE.Direct port lets you monitor and configure the inverter from a phone, tablet or computer using a VE.Direct to USB cable or a Bluetooth Smart dongle (sold separately). ECO mode drops the unit into standby when no significant load is present, cutting idle consumption to conserve the battery bank. As the largest model in the VE.Direct range it offers 2200 W of peak power for demanding start-up loads, a two-pole remote on/off connector and fan-assisted cooling.

Does this inverter produce a pure sine wave?
Yes. The Phoenix 48/1200 produces a clean pure sine wave output, so it can safely run sensitive electronics, computers and appliances just as they would from mains power.
What battery voltage does it need?
It runs from a 48V battery bank and operates across an input range of 36.8 to 62.0 V, shutting down at 37.2 V to protect the batteries from over-discharge.
How do I monitor or configure it?
The built-in VE.Direct port connects to a computer with a VE.Direct to USB cable, or to a phone or tablet using a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. Both accessories are sold separately. You can set alarm levels, cut-off thresholds, output voltage and ECO mode behaviour.
What is ECO mode?
ECO mode drops the inverter into standby when the load falls below a set level (minimum 15 W), reducing idle consumption to around 3.0 W. It briefly wakes at an adjustable interval to check for load, then stays on once a load is detected.
Can I switch it on and off remotely?
Yes. A remote on/off switch can be wired to the two-pole connector, or between battery positive and the left-hand contact of that connector.
How can I transfer loads between the inverter and shore power?
Victron recommends the Filax Automatic Transfer Switch, which switches over in under 20 milliseconds so computers and electronics keep running without interruption.
