Description
xVictron Inverter 12/375 230V VE.Direct UK
The Victron Inverter 12/375 is a compact 12V DC to 230V AC pure sine wave inverter designed for small off-grid and mobile power applications. It connects to a 12V battery bank and delivers up to 375VA of continuous AC output at 230V, making it suitable for powering small appliances, tools or electronics where mains power is unavailable. The VE.Direct port allows direct communication with compatible Victron monitoring devices and displays.
Key Features
- 375VA continuous output at 230V AC from a 12V DC battery source
- Pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads
- VE.Direct communication port for connection to Victron monitoring accessories such as the Color Control GX or MPPT displays
- UK plug socket configuration included as standard
- Compact and lightweight form factor at 3.25 kg, suited to mobile and space-constrained installations
- Low power consumption in standby mode to preserve battery capacity
- Built-in protections including over-temperature, low battery voltage and overload shutdown
Product Overview
The 12/375 sits at the entry level of Victron's VE.Direct inverter range. It converts 12V DC battery power to a clean 230V AC sine wave, which means it can safely run loads that a modified sine wave inverter cannot, including variable-speed motors, medical equipment and many modern electronics with switch-mode power supplies. At 375VA, it is sized for single appliances or light loads rather than whole-system backup.
The VE.Direct interface distinguishes this model from basic inverters. Using a VE.Direct to USB cable or a compatible GX device, installers can monitor the inverter's status, input voltage and output load remotely. This is particularly useful in fixed installations such as caravans, boats or small off-grid cabins where ongoing visibility of system performance matters. The port does not support two-way control, but it does allow data logging and integration into a wider Victron system.
Protection features are handled automatically. The inverter will shut down on low battery voltage to prevent deep discharge damage, on overload to protect connected equipment, and on over-temperature if ventilation is insufficient. These thresholds are factory-set and are not user-adjustable on this model.

Installation Notes
This inverter connects directly to a 12V battery bank. DC cable sizing and fusing must be appropriate for the current draw at full load. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown. While this inverter is not grid-connected and does not require G98 or G99 compliance, installation in a fixed system should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person familiar with DC and AC wiring. VE.Direct accessories are sold separately.
