Description
xVictron Inverter 12/2000 230V Smart
The Victron Inverter 12/2000 230V Smart is a pure sine wave inverter designed to convert 12V DC battery power into 230V AC mains-compatible output at up to 2000VA continuous. It is suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power systems where a reliable AC supply is needed from a 12V battery bank.
Key Features
- 2000VA continuous output with 230V AC pure sine wave output, compatible with sensitive electronics and motor loads.
- 12V DC input, designed for use with 12V lead-acid or lithium battery banks.
- Built-in Bluetooth via VictronConnect, allowing configuration, monitoring and firmware updates from a smartphone or tablet without additional hardware.
- PowerControl and PowerAssist functions allow the inverter to supplement an AC source, preventing overload of a shore power or generator supply.
- Integrated battery protection with configurable low voltage shutdown, preventing deep discharge damage to the battery bank.
- High surge power capability to handle motor start-up loads and other transient demands.
- Compatible with Victron GX devices and the VRM online monitoring portal for remote system oversight.
Product Overview
The 12/2000 Smart uses a high-frequency transformer design to deliver a clean, stable 230V AC sine wave from a 12V battery source. Pure sine wave output is important where loads include variable-speed motors, medical equipment, audio equipment or any device with a switch-mode power supply, as modified sine wave inverters can cause these to run inefficiently or fail prematurely.
The integrated Bluetooth module connects directly to the VictronConnect app, available on iOS and Android. From the app, installers can set battery type, low voltage alarm and shutdown thresholds, dynamic cutoff curves for lithium batteries, and AES (Automatic Energy Saver) mode, which reduces no-load power consumption when the AC load is light. This removes the need for a separate interface cable or MK3-USB adapter during commissioning.
When used alongside a Victron GX device such as a Cerbo GX, the inverter integrates into a full system with VRM remote monitoring. It is not a hybrid or grid-tie inverter and does not include a built-in battery charger. For combined inverter and charger functionality, the Victron MultiPlus range is the appropriate alternative.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with DC battery systems and AC wiring. The inverter must be connected to a correctly fused and appropriately rated DC cable run from the battery bank; undersized cabling at 12V and 2000VA will result in significant voltage drop and potential fire risk. This unit is not grid-tie and does not require G98 or G99 notification. For any installation forming part of a fixed electrical system in a dwelling, compliance with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) is required. Lithium battery users should configure the dynamic cutoff thresholds via VictronConnect to match their battery management system.
