It converts 12V battery power to mains-equivalent 230V AC output at up to 500VA, making it suitable for powering sensitive electronics, tools and appliances where grid power is unavailable. The VE.Direct port enables direct communication with compatible Victron monitoring devices and displays.\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 communication port for connection to Victron monitoring equipment such as the Color Control GX or MPPT displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK plug socket configuration included as standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight design at 4.1 kg, suited to van conversions, boats and small off-grid installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow power consumption in standby mode to preserve battery capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in protections including over-temperature, over-load and low battery voltage shutdown\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 loads such as laptops, LED lighting, small power tools, phone chargers and similar equipment. The pure sine wave output means it will run equipment that a modified sine wave inverter cannot, including many motor-driven appliances and audio or medical devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct interface distinguishes this model from basic inverters. It allows the unit to be monitored and configured via Victron's GX devices, the VictronConnect app (via a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth adapter), or integrated into a wider Victron system. This makes it a practical choice for installers building monitored off-grid or mobile systems rather than a standalone, unmonitored unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 4.1 kg the inverter is straightforward to mount in a van, motorhome, boat or small cabin installation. It is designed for 12V battery systems, so confirm your battery bank voltage before specifying this unit. It is not suitable for 24V or 48V systems.\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;\"\u003ePIN121501400\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eInput Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput 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;\"\u003eSocket Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eUK (Type G)\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;\"\u003e8719076055044\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\u003eVan and motorhome conversions requiring 230V AC output from a 12V leisure battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNarrowboats and sailing vessels with 12V DC battery banks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall off-grid cabins and garden buildings with limited AC load requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power for low-wattage equipment during grid outages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote site power for laptops, lighting and small tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegration into monitored Victron off-grid systems via VE.Direct\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 (UK socket version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis inverter must be connected to a 12V DC battery system using appropriately rated DC cabling and fusing. DC cable sizing is critical at this power level: undersized cables will cause voltage drop and may create a fire risk. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person familiar with DC power systems. This unit is not grid-connected and does not require G98 or G99 notification. If integrating into a wider solar or battery system, ensure all components are correctly rated and that the installation complies with BS 7671 wiring regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47480987025742,"sku":"PIN121501400","price":102.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/victron-phoenix-inverter-12500-230v-vedirect-pin121501400-296405.jpg?v=1747940372","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-inverter-12-500-230v-ve-direct-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
