It suits off-grid installations, vehicles, boats and backup setups where compact DC-to-AC conversion is needed. A VE.Direct port allows monitoring and integration with the wider Victron ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features of this victron power inverter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput\u003c\/strong\u003e, 500VA continuous, pure sine wave AC suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput\/output\u003c\/strong\u003e, 12V DC input with a 230V AC IEC output socket for direct appliance connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e, VE.Direct port for communication with Victron devices including the Color Control GX and Venus GX.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtections\u003c\/strong\u003e, low battery shutdown, overload and over-temperature protection with automatic recovery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild\u003c\/strong\u003e, compact and lightweight, suited to space-constrained installations in vehicles, caravans and small off-grid cabins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e, high-efficiency operation reduces battery drain during light loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePure sine wave output means the Phoenix 12\/500 works with virtually all AC loads, including inductive motors, medical equipment and audio-visual devices. Modified sine wave inverters can cause problems with certain appliances; this unit avoids that entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVE.Direct is Victron's point-to-point communication protocol. On this inverter it connects to the VE.Direct to USB interface, a Bluetooth Smart dongle, or a GX device for remote monitoring and on\/off control, so it fits into a larger Victron system without extra wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IEC output socket suits European and UK equipment. Built-in protections shut the unit down safely under fault conditions and restart once the fault clears, cutting down on manual intervention in unattended installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote sites needing 230V AC from a 12V battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCampervans, motorhomes and caravans needing a compact inverter for appliances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine installations needing 230V AC output from a 12V DC system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall backup power systems for sensitive electronics during mains outages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMobile work vehicles needing 230V AC for tools or equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified electrician familiar with DC and AC wiring. The battery bank and cabling must be rated for the peak current draw of a 500VA inverter at 12V. The unit is not grid-connected and does not require G98 or G99 compliance, but all AC wiring must comply with BS 7671. If a schuko output socket is needed instead of IEC, order PIN121501110.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVictron Phoenix Inverter 12\/500 230V VE.Direct with IEC output socket\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52095603736864,"sku":"PIN121501100","price":107.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-pin121501100-1.webp?v=1785755148","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-phoenix-12-500-inverter","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
