Description
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/250 120V VE.Direct NEMA GFCI is a high-efficiency, pure sine wave inverter designed to provide reliable AC power from a 12V battery source. Ideal for off-grid, marine, RV, and backup power applications, this inverter ensures seamless operation of sensitive electronics and appliances.
With VE.Direct communication, the inverter can be easily monitored and configured via PC, smartphone, or tablet, enabling real-time performance tracking and system adjustments. The built-in Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet enhances safety and compliance, making it perfect for environments where electrical protection is crucial.
The Phoenix Inverter features a robust toroidal transformer topology, providing high surge capacity to start demanding loads such as power tools, LED lighting, and other electronic equipment. The integrated ECO mode significantly reduces power consumption by automatically switching to standby mode when the load is low, resuming operation when needed.
Additional features include remote on/off capability, customizable voltage settings, and comprehensive protection against short circuits, overheating, and overloads. Its compact, durable design, combined with easy screw-terminal connections, allows for hassle-free installation in various setups.
The Victron Phoenix 12/250 VE.Direct NEMA GFCI Inverter is a reliable, safe, and energy-efficient solution for users looking to power 120V AC appliances from a 12V DC power source, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply in all conditions.
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
