Description
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/1600 230V VE.Direct is engineered for dependable and efficient power conversion. Drawing from a 12V battery source, it produces a pure sine wave 230V AC output, ensuring compatibility with sensitive electronics and high-demand tools.
Featuring enhanced output power over the 1200 model, it is capable of handling devices with high inrush currents such as LED lighting, power tools, and appliances. Its toroidal transformer design guarantees long-term reliability, with full protection against short circuits, overloads, and overheating.
The inverter’s ECO Mode automatically reduces power consumption by up to 85%, switching to standby when loads are low and resuming operation when demand increases. Through the VE.Direct communication port, users can configure key parameters – such as AC voltage, frequency, and low-battery cut-off levels – and monitor performance in real time via the VictronConnect app (USB or optional Bluetooth Smart dongle).
Compatible with the Filax 2 Automatic Transfer Switch, the inverter enables seamless switching between power sources in under 20 milliseconds – ideal for protecting sensitive electronics.
Designed with practicality in mind, the Phoenix 12/1600 includes LED status indicators, an ON/OFF/ECO switch, and the option for remote monitoring and control using GX devices or the VRM portal.
