It converts battery power to mains-equivalent AC output, making it suitable for powering sensitive electronics and small appliances where a reliable sine wave output is required. VE.Direct connectivity allows integration with Victron monitoring equipment and the GX device ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250VA continuous output at 230V AC from a 12V DC battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics, motor loads and appliances that require clean AC power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Direct port for communication with Victron GX devices, MPPT solar chargers and monitoring tools such as the VictronConnect app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK-standard AC output socket for direct connection to UK plugs and appliances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 2.6 kg, suited to space-constrained installations in vehicles, boats and small off-grid cabins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in protections including low battery voltage shutdown, overload protection and over-temperature shutdown.\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 such as laptops, LED lighting circuits, small power tools or audio equipment from a 12V battery. It is not intended for high-draw appliances such as kettles or heaters. Selecting the correct inverter size for the load is important: running the 12\/250 at or near its rated capacity continuously will draw approximately 20A or more from the battery, so adequate battery capacity and cabling must be in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct interface distinguishes this model from basic inverters. It allows the unit to communicate with Victron's broader ecosystem, including the Cerbo GX and Venus GX monitoring platforms, enabling remote monitoring of inverter status, load and fault conditions. This is particularly useful in installations where the inverter is not easily accessible, such as in a vehicle locker or a remote cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pure sine wave output is important for loads that are sensitive to waveform quality. Modified sine wave inverters can cause problems with some motor-driven appliances, battery chargers and audio equipment. The 12\/250 avoids these issues by producing a clean sine wave output equivalent in quality to grid power.\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\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  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePIN121251400\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;\"\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;\"\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;\"\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 Socket Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eUK (BS 1363)\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;\"\u003e8719076055006\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\u003eCampervans and motorhomes requiring a small 230V AC supply from a 12V leisure battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNarrowboats and sailing yachts with 12V DC battery banks needing occasional AC power for laptops or small appliances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall off-grid cabins or garden buildings with a 12V solar and battery system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmergency backup power for low-draw AC loads from a 12V battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron-based off-grid systems where VE.Direct monitoring integration is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Victron Inverter 12\/250 230V VE.Direct UK\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. Correct cable sizing is critical: at full load, DC current draw will exceed 20A, and undersized cabling will cause voltage drop and potential overheating. A suitably rated DC fuse or circuit breaker must be installed as close to the battery as possible. This unit is not grid-connected and does not require G98 or G99 notification. Installation should be carried out by a competent electrician or qualified installer familiar with DC systems. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863682318670,"sku":"PIN121251400","price":63.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_PIN121251400_-_Inverter_12-250_230V_VE.Direct_UK.webp?v=1781183386","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-inverter-12-250-230v-ve-direct-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
