Authorised Victron Energy InstallerVictron part no. PIN121251100
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/250 230V VE.Direct IEC is a high-performance, pure sine wave inverter designed for off-grid solar, automotive, and marine applications. Capable of converting 12V DC battery power into a stable 230V AC output, this inverter ensures seamless operation for a wide range of electrical appliances and sensitive electronics.
With VE.Direct communication, users can easily connect the inverter to PCs, smartphones, or tablets for real-time monitoring and configuration. The system provides full control over settings such as low battery voltage cut-off, restart levels, output frequency, and ECO mode adjustments, allowing for customised operation.
The Phoenix 12/250 IEC model is engineered with toroidal transformer technology, ensuring high start-up power, making it capable of running devices that require a significant initial power surge, such as LED power converters, electric tools, and refrigeration units.
For enhanced energy efficiency, the inverter features ECO mode, which significantly reduces power consumption by switching to standby when the load is low and automatically reactivating when demand increases. Additional features include remote on/off functionality, advanced short circuit and thermal protection, and IEC-320 output sockets for compatibility with international power systems.
Installation is straightforward, with secure screw-terminal DC connections, eliminating the need for specialised tools. This inverter is ideal for home backup systems, mobile power solutions, and renewable energy applications, ensuring reliable and safe AC power wherever it's needed.
Key Features

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.
