It is aimed at off-grid installations, vehicles, boats and backup power applications where a reliable AC supply is needed from a 12V battery bank. The VE.Direct port allows direct communication with compatible Victron monitoring devices and displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1600VA continuous AC output from a 12V DC input, with an IEC AC output socket for straightforward load connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics, motors and appliances that require clean AC power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Direct communication port for integration with Victron monitoring equipment including the Color Control GX, Cerbo GX and compatible MPPT displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in protections covering low battery voltage shutdown, over-temperature and overload, with automatic recovery where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and relatively lightweight design at 8.82 kg, suited to installations where space and weight are considerations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU PIN122161100 with GTIN 8719076066330 for straightforward ordering and stock identification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12\/1600 sits in Victron's VE.Direct inverter range, which is designed for standalone off-grid use rather than grid-tied or hybrid applications. The 1600VA rating covers a broad range of domestic and light commercial loads: power tools, lighting circuits, small appliances and AV equipment. The pure sine wave output means it will drive inductive loads such as motors and compressors without the waveform distortion issues associated with modified sine wave inverters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct interface is a key practical feature for professional installations. It allows the inverter to be monitored and controlled via Victron's GX ecosystem, giving installers and end users visibility of output power, battery state and fault conditions through a single interface. This is particularly useful in off-grid cabins, mobile installations and backup systems where remote monitoring adds real operational value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IEC output format is standard for European and UK installations, accepting standard IEC C13 or C14 connected loads. Protection circuits handle the most common fault conditions automatically, reducing the need for manual intervention in unattended installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePIN122161100\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eDC Input Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eContinuous Output Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1600VA\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Output Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e230V\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput Waveform\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePure sine wave\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Output Connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eIEC\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCommunication\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eVE.Direct\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8.82 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076066330\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote buildings powered by a 12V battery bank with solar or wind charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations requiring 230V AC from a 12V domestic battery system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhomes, campervans and commercial vehicles needing mains-equivalent AC output on the road.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power systems where a 12V battery provides AC supply during mains outages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTelecoms and light industrial enclosures requiring monitored DC-to-AC conversion with VE.Direct integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron Inverter 12\/1600 230V VE.Direct IEC unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis inverter operates at 12V DC and draws high DC currents at full load. Correct cable sizing and fusing on the DC side is essential to prevent voltage drop and fire risk. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced installer familiar with DC power systems. For any integration into a fixed electrical installation, compliance with BS 7671 (IEE Wiring Regulations) is required. The VE.Direct port is for monitoring and control only and does not carry power. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to allow the thermal protection to operate correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59864544575822,"sku":"PIN122161100","price":229.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_PIN122161100_-_Inverter_12-1600_230V_VE.Direct_IEC.webp?v=1781187779","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-inverter-12-1600-230v-ve-direct-iec","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
