It suits off-grid installations, vehicle conversions, marine setups and backup power systems where a clean AC supply is needed from a 12V battery bank. The VE.Direct port connects to compatible Victron monitoring devices and displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVictron 12\/1200 inverter features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput\u003c\/strong\u003e, 1200W continuous at 230V AC from a 12V DC input, pure sine wave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e, VE.Direct port for Victron displays, Color Control GX and other compatible hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket\u003c\/strong\u003e, UK plug socket configuration, ready for direct use without adaptors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e, 7.64 kg, suited to vans, boats, cabins and off-grid enclosures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection\u003c\/strong\u003e, low battery voltage shutdown, high battery voltage, overload and over-temperature protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it fits in the range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 12\/1200 sits in Victron's VE.Direct inverter range, between the basic Phoenix range and the full MultiPlus hybrid inverter\/charger series. The VE.Direct port allows monitoring and control via a Victron GX device, a BMV battery monitor, or the VictronConnect app through a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth dongle. For a monitored off-grid or backup system on a budget, that integration matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 1200W continuous output the unit powers lighting circuits, small appliances, power tools and similar loads from a 12V battery bank. It will not sustain high-draw loads such as electric kettles or large compressors for extended periods, so load planning matters. The pure sine wave output suits inductive loads such as motors and equipment needing a clean AC waveform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a DC to AC inverter only, with no built-in battery charger or solar charge controller. It is intended to work alongside a suitable charger or solar input as part of a wider system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and outbuildings powered by a 12V battery bank with solar or generator charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCampervan and motorhome conversions needing 230V AC from the leisure battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine installations requiring 230V AC from a 12V DC battery system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackup power for small offices, workshops or domestic circuits during outages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMobile work vehicles needing 230V AC for tools from a 12V auxiliary battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect this inverter to a 12V DC battery bank with appropriately rated DC cabling and fusing. High DC currents are present at 1200W output, and incorrect cabling or fusing is a fire risk, so installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. The AC output does not carry G98 or G99 grid-tie approval and is not intended for connection to the public grid. Allow adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52060768108832,"sku":"PIN122121410","price":178.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-pin122121410-1.webp?v=1785505764","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-12-1200-inverter-230v","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
