The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/250 turns 12V DC from leisure or automotive batteries into reliable 120V AC power, with an optional 230V output for a wider range of devices. It includes a built-in VE.Direct monitor and a GFCI duplex outlet to keep power safe and under control wherever you roam.
-
Continuous power rating: 200W (250 VA) with up to 400W peak for short surges to start loads such as LED drivers and small tools.
-
Output options: Selectable 120V AC or 230V AC, 50/60 Hz, with +/-3% voltage accuracy to suit a wide range of devices.
-
GFCI Duplex Outlet: Built-in safety outlet designed for standard 120V equipment.
-
VE.Direct connectivity: Monitor input/output voltage, % load, and alarms; configure settings via PC, smartphones, or tablets using VE.Direct (USB or Bluetooth dongle as needed).
-
Fully configurable protections: Adjustable low battery alarm and cut-off, restart levels, and dynamic cut-off that adapts to load to protect your battery bank.
-
ECO mode: Switches to standby at low loads (min load ~15W); automatic re-activation keeps the inverter ready as soon as demand returns (default sense every 2.5 seconds).
-
High start-up power: Designed to handle inrush when starting loads such as LED drivers, halogen lamps, or small power tools.
-
Remote on/off: Optional remote switch can be connected to a two-pole connector for convenient control.
-
Automatic transfer readiness: Compatible with Victron’s Filax Automatic Transfer Switch for seamless handover (<20 ms) to a secondary AC source to keep computers and electronics running.
-
Efficiency and standby: Up to 88% efficiency; low idle power with ECO-mode options and configurable stop/start power to minimize battery drain.
-
Technical highlights: Input voltage range 9.2–17V / 18.4–34V / 36.8–62.0V DC (suitable for 12V, 24V, or 48V systems); output 230VAC or 120VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz; max efficiency up to ~88% depending on voltage and temperature; zero-load power 4.2–7.9W (0.8–2.5W with ECO). Operating temperature: -40°C to +65°C with fan-assisted cooling. Enclosure: Steel chassis with a blue RAL 5012 plastic cover for durability and a professional finish. Safety: Short-circuit protection and overheating protection safeguard both inverter and connected gear.
Whether you're off-grid in a caravan, on a boat, or in a remote cabin, the Phoenix 12/250 provides dependable AC power for essential devices. The built-in GFCI outlet and VE.Direct monitoring give you safety and visibility, while adjustable battery protection and dynamic cut-off help maximize battery life. ECO mode reduces idle drain, and the inverter's high start-up power handles inrush loads like LED drivers and small tools. When paired with Victron's Filax Automatic Transfer Switch, it enables seamless handover to a secondary AC source, keeping computers and electronics running with minimal interruption. With a rugged steel chassis and wide input/output options, you gain flexible, reliable power in harsh environments.
