Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter VE.Direct 12VDC 1200VA 120V for Reliable Power Conversion

Phoenix Inverter VE.Direct 12VDC - 1200VA - 120V

Inverters allow you to power domestic equipment - requiring 230V/120V AC - using 'leisure' or 'automotive' batteries rated at 12V, 24V, or 48VDC.

The VE.Direct port can be connected to:

• A computer (VE.Direct to USB interface cable needed)


• Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, MacBooks, and other devices (VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed)

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

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.

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.

• ECO mode on/off and ECO mode sense level

Monitoring

• In- and output voltage, % load, and alarms

DC connection with screw terminals

• No special tools needed for installation

The Victron Energy Phoenix VE.Direct 12VDC inverter delivers 1200 volt-amps of power, enabling you to run 120V AC appliances directly from your 12V DC leisure or automotive batteries. Its robust design features a full bridge and toroidal transformer topology, ensuring long-term reliability and protection against short circuits, overheating, overloads, and high ambient temperatures. This inverter is ideal for powering devices such as LED and halogen lamps, electric tools, and other essential equipment in off-grid or backup power setups.
Its fully configurable settings include low battery voltage alarms and cut-offs, dynamic load-dependent cut-off levels, adjustable output voltage between 210 and 245 volts, and frequency options of 50 or 60 Hz. These features allow precise customization to match your specific power requirements and ensure safe operation across diverse applications. The high start-up power capability ensures that demanding loads, like power converters and electric tools, start smoothly without issues.
The inverter supports seamless remote control with an on/off switch that can be connected via a two-pole connector or directly between the battery positive terminal and the switch. For transferring loads between AC sources, the Victron recommended Filax Automatic Transfer Switch offers a rapid switchover time of less than 20 milliseconds, protecting sensitive electronic equipment from power interruptions. The inverter's ECO mode minimizes energy consumption by switching to standby when the load drops below 15W, and it automatically restarts when the load exceeds the preset threshold.
Monitoring features include real-time data on input/output voltage, percentage load, and alarms, accessible through VE.Direct connectivity with optional USB or Bluetooth Smart dongle interfaces. The DC connection uses screw terminals, facilitating quick and tool-free installation. The inverter is lightweight and compact, making it suitable for installation in varied environments, whether in an RV, boat, or off-grid energy system.
