It converts battery power to mains-equivalent AC output, making it suitable for powering sensitive electronics and small appliances where grid power is unavailable. With VE.Direct connectivity, it integrates into the wider Victron monitoring ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250VA continuous AC output from a 12V DC battery bank, with IEC socket output for direct appliance connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure sine wave output, compatible with sensitive electronics including variable speed motors, audio equipment and medical devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Direct port for communication with Victron monitoring devices, including the Color Control GX, Cerbo GX and compatible displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in protections covering low battery shutdown, over-temperature and overload, with automatic restart after fault clearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 2.6 kg, suited to van conversions, boats, caravans and small off-grid cabins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e230V AC output compliant with European and UK mains voltage standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12\/250 sits at the entry level of Victron's VE.Direct inverter range. At 250VA, it is sized for powering individual loads rather than whole-system backup: think a laptop, LED lighting circuit, small power tool or entertainment equipment running from a 12V leisure or service battery. The IEC output socket means standard appliance leads connect directly without additional adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVE.Direct is Victron's serial communication protocol. On this inverter, it allows real-time data (output power, battery voltage, alarm status) to be read by a GX device or a VE.Direct to USB interface connected to a laptop or Raspberry Pi running VictronConnect or Venus OS. This makes the 12\/250 a manageable component in a monitored off-grid system rather than a standalone black box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inverter's protection stack handles the most common field failure modes automatically. Low battery voltage triggers a staged warning and then shutdown to prevent deep discharge damage to the battery. Overload and over-temperature conditions also cause shutdown with automatic recovery, 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  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\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  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\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;\"\u003ePIN121251100\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;\"\u003e250VA\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 AC\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;\"\u003eOutput Socket\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;\"\u003e2.6 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;\"\u003e8719076047117\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVan and campervan conversions requiring a compact 230V AC supply from a 12V leisure battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNarrowboats and sailing vessels needing mains-equivalent output for small onboard appliances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and garden buildings with a 12V battery system and low AC load requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote monitoring or telecoms enclosures where a small AC supply is needed from a battery-backed 12V rail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaravan and motorhome installations for powering laptops, chargers and low-wattage appliances.\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\/250 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 connects directly to a 12V DC battery bank. DC cable sizing and fusing must be appropriate for the current draw at full load. Installation should be carried out by a competent electrician or qualified installer familiar with low-voltage DC systems. For any installation forming part of a fixed wiring system in a vessel or building, relevant BS and IET wiring regulations apply. This inverter is not grid-connected and does not require G98 or G99 notification, but any AC distribution downstream of the inverter must be wired to applicable standards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863682285902,"sku":"PIN121251100","price":63.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_PIN121251100_-_Inverter_12-250_230V_VE.Direct_IEC.webp?v=1781183380","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-inverter-12-250-230v-ve-direct-iec","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
