Product Details

The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/500 230 V VE.Direct UK is designed for professional installations where reliable 230 V AC power conversion from a 12 V DC supply is required. Whether you’re outfitting a van, boat, mobile service unit or off-grid equipment, this compact unit delivers premium performance and flexibility.

With true sine-wave output, it powers sensitive electronics and motors safely. The built-in VE.Direct communication port enables system monitoring and configuration via PC or optional Bluetooth Smart dongle. High peak output capacity makes it suitable for demanding start-up loads such as power tools, fridges, lighting circuits and other high-inrush equipment. The inverter offers configurable protective features against overload, short-circuit, low battery and high temperature, ensuring the system remains robust under varied conditions.

Its ECO-mode standby function kicks in when the load falls below a pre-set value (approx. 15 W) thereby reducing parasitic battery drain in systems where minimal current draw is essential. Installation is simplified via screw-terminal DC connections and compatibility with remote on/off switch wiring. 

Built using a full-bridge plus toroidal transformer topology, this inverter is engineered for durability and long service in harsh environments whether marine, mobile or remote solar-powered.

Trade buyers will appreciate the five-year warranty backing and the reputation of Victron for system reliability. The unit’s size, performance and configurability make it an excellent choice for professionals specifying power conversion equipment where reliability, flexibility and monitoring capability matter.
