It is aimed at installers and professionals working on small off-grid systems, vehicles, boats and backup power applications. The VE.Direct communication port allows direct monitoring and integration with Victron's ecosystem without additional hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500VA continuous output at 230V AC from a 12V DC battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Direct port for direct communication with compatible Victron monitoring devices and the VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth dongle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIEC AC output connector for straightforward, standardised wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in protections including low battery voltage shutdown, over-temperature and overload protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight design at 4.1 kg, suited to space-constrained installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Victron GX devices for system integration and remote monitoring via VRM portal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12\/500 sits at the entry level of Victron's VE.Direct inverter range. At 500VA, it is sized for powering individual loads such as lighting circuits, small appliances, power tools or communications equipment from a 12V battery. The pure sine wave output means it will run loads that a modified sine wave inverter cannot handle reliably, including inductive motors, variable speed drives and audio equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct port is a key practical feature for professional installations. It allows the inverter to be monitored and configured using VictronConnect, and it can be integrated into a wider Victron system via a GX device such as a Cerbo GX. This gives installers a single point of visibility across the system without needing additional wiring or proprietary adapters. The IEC output socket provides a clean, standardised connection point that simplifies panel or enclosure builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProtection features are handled automatically. The inverter will shut down on low battery voltage to prevent deep discharge damage, and will protect itself against overload and over-temperature conditions. These are standard requirements for any professional off-grid or mobile installation and are handled without manual intervention.\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\u003eSpecification\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;\"\u003ePIN121501110\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;\"\u003e500VA\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 Connector\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;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e4.1 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;\"\u003e8719076073529\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\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote installations requiring a small 230V AC supply from a 12V battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat installations for powering 230V appliances from the vessel's 12V system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCampervans and motorhomes where a compact inverter is needed for occasional 230V loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power for communications or security equipment during mains outages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall solar off-grid systems where a Victron VE.Direct ecosystem is already in use.\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\/500 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 should be installed by a qualified electrician or competent person familiar with DC and AC electrical systems. DC cable sizing must be appropriate for the current draw at 12V, which will be significantly higher than the AC output current. Ensure the battery bank is adequately fused and cabled for the inverter's maximum input current. This unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 compliance. For integration with a Victron GX device or VRM monitoring, a VE.Direct interface cable is required and is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60208976888142,"sku":"PIN121501110","price":108.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_PIN121501110_-_Inverter_12-500_230V_VE.Direct_IEC.webp?v=1784906968","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-inverter-12-500-230v-ve-direct-iec","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
