It converts stored energy into 230V AC output through a SCHUKO socket, making it a compact choice for off-grid, mobile and backup power setups that need a small, reliable AC supply from a 48V bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput\u003c\/strong\u003e, 500VA continuous, 230V AC pure sine wave from a 48V DC input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommunication\u003c\/strong\u003e, VE.Direct port for monitoring via Victron GX devices or the VictronConnect app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAC socket\u003c\/strong\u003e, SCHUKO output for direct connection of standard European loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e, 4.1 kg, suited to space-constrained installs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtections\u003c\/strong\u003e, low battery voltage shutdown, overload and over-temperature cut-out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 48\/500 sits at the entry point of Victron's VE.Direct inverter range. It takes a 48V nominal battery input and produces a clean 230V AC sine wave, so it works with sensitive electronics as well as standard appliances within its power rating. The SCHUKO socket lets you plug a load straight in, without extra wiring to a distribution board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct port is the main way to see what the inverter is doing. Connect it to a Cerbo GX or other GX device for system-level monitoring, or to a laptop or phone through a VE.Direct to USB cable and VictronConnect. That gives an installer visibility of operating state, input voltage and fault conditions remotely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 500VA this unit suits individual loads such as lighting circuits, small tools, charging gear or low-draw appliances. It is not intended for high-current loads like kettles, immersion heaters or motor-start equipment. Match the load to the continuous rating for reliable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and outbuildings running a 48V battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat systems on 48V DC needing occasional 230V AC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackup power for routers, lighting or communications equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVans and trucks with a 48V house battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall solar storage systems where one AC outlet is enough.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect directly to a 48V DC battery bank with DC cable and fusing sized for the current draw at 48V. The SCHUKO output allows direct plug-in use, but a fixed installation should be wired by a qualified electrician. This inverter is not grid-connected, so G98 or G99 notification does not apply. VE.Direct accessories such as a USB interface cable are sold separately and are needed for VictronConnect on a PC or Mac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVictron Inverter 48\/500 230V VE.Direct SCHUKO unit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52095393333536,"sku":"PIN481501200","price":119.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-pin481501200-1.webp?v=1785748220","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-48-500-schuko-inverter","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
