Description
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/250 230V VE.Direct AU/NZ is a compact and powerful pure sine wave inverter designed for off-grid, remote, and mobile power solutions. It converts 12V DC battery power into 230V AC, providing a stable and reliable energy source for home appliances, tools, and sensitive electronics in RV, marine, and solar power systems.
Equipped with VE.Direct connectivity, the inverter allows for real-time system monitoring and configuration using a computer, smartphone, or tablet. This feature enables users to adjust parameters such as low battery voltage shutdown, restart levels, and output frequency, ensuring optimal performance based on specific requirements.
The Phoenix Inverter 12/250 AU/NZ is built with proven toroidal transformer technology, ensuring high surge capacity and low interference when powering LED lights, power tools, and other electrical devices. The ECO mode function enhances energy efficiency by reducing power consumption during low-load conditions, automatically switching the inverter to standby mode and reactivating when needed.
Safety is a key focus, with the inverter offering comprehensive protection against short circuits, overheating, and excessive loads. The remote on/off function provides added convenience for integration into automated systems. Installation is simple, with screw terminal DC connections, requiring no special tools.
Whether for solar energy systems, emergency power backup, or remote power applications, the Victron Phoenix 12/250 VE.Direct AU/NZ Inverter is a durable, efficient, and highly configurable power solution, ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply wherever it’s needed.
Key Features
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
ECO mode on/off and ECO mode sense level
Monitoring:
In- and output voltage, % load and alarms
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.
LED diagnosis
Please see manual for a description.
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.
Available with different output sockets
