It is aimed at installers and professionals needing a reliable, low-power inverter for mobile, marine, off-grid and backup applications. The SCHUKO output socket and VE.Direct communication port make it straightforward to integrate into monitored systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250VA continuous output from a 12V DC battery bank, converting to 230V AC pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Direct communication port allows direct connection to Victron monitoring devices, including the Color Control GX and compatible displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSCHUKO output socket provides a standard European AC outlet, ready for direct use without additional adapters in most EU and UK (with adapter) installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight design at 2.6 kg, suited to space-constrained installations in vehicles, boats and small off-grid cabinets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in protections include low battery voltage shutdown, over-temperature protection and overload protection to safeguard both the inverter and connected loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the Victron VE.Direct inverter range, compatible with the VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth dongle for configuration and monitoring.\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 point of Victron's VE.Direct inverter range. At 250VA, it is not intended for high-draw appliances, but it covers a practical range of low-power loads: laptops, LED lighting circuits, small power tools, phone chargers and similar equipment. The pure sine wave output means it is compatible with equipment that would otherwise be damaged or perform poorly on a modified sine wave supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct port is the key differentiator from basic inverters at this price point. It allows the unit to report status, alarms and operational data to a Victron GX device or directly to a laptop or phone via the appropriate interface cable or dongle. This makes it a viable component in a monitored off-grid or vehicle system rather than a standalone black box. Configuration via VictronConnect covers parameters such as low battery alarm and shutdown thresholds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCHUKO socket format is standard across continental Europe. UK installers should note that a SCHUKO-to-UK adapter is required for direct use with UK plugs. For permanent wiring into a distribution board or consumer unit, a qualified electrician should carry out the AC-side connection.\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;\"\u003ePIN121251210\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;\"\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;\"\u003eAC Output Socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSCHUKO\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;\"\u003e8719076073451\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\u003eCampervans and motorhomes requiring a 230V AC supply from a 12V leisure battery for laptops, lighting or small appliances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations where a compact, monitored inverter is needed for low-power AC loads on a 12V system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall off-grid cabins or sheds with a 12V battery bank needing occasional 230V AC output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmergency backup power for communications equipment, routers or medical devices with low power draw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegration into a Victron-monitored system where VE.Direct data reporting is required from the inverter.\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 SCHUKO unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDC connections must be made with appropriately rated cable and fusing for a 12V system at the current levels this inverter can draw.
