Description
xVictron Inverter 12/800 230V VE.Direct IEC
The Victron Inverter 12/800 is a 12V DC to 230V AC pure sine wave inverter rated at 800VA continuous output. It is aimed at installers and professionals working on off-grid, mobile and backup power systems where a compact, reliable DC-to-AC conversion is required. The VE.Direct interface allows direct communication with compatible Victron monitoring equipment and displays.
Key Features
- 800VA continuous output power from a 12V DC battery bank to 230V AC
- Pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads
- VE.Direct communication port for integration with Victron monitoring devices such as the Color Control GX and MPPT displays
- IEC AC output socket for direct connection of standard IEC-compatible loads
- Protections include low battery voltage shutdown, over-temperature and overload cutoff
- Compact and lightweight design at 6 kg, suitable for installation in confined spaces
- Compatible with Victron's VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth adapter for configuration and monitoring
Product Overview
The Inverter 12/800 converts 12V DC from a battery bank into a clean 230V AC pure sine wave output. Pure sine wave output is important when powering loads that are sensitive to waveform quality, including variable-speed motors, medical equipment, audio equipment and modern switch-mode power supplies. A modified sine wave inverter can cause overheating or malfunction in these devices; the 12/800 avoids that risk entirely.
The VE.Direct port is a key practical feature for professional installations. It allows the inverter to be connected to Victron GX devices, enabling remote monitoring and system integration without additional hardware. Configuration and live data can also be accessed via VictronConnect using an appropriate VE.Direct interface adapter. This makes the unit straightforward to commission and diagnose on site.
At 800VA, this inverter is suited to moderate loads: lighting circuits, small appliances, power tools and similar equipment. It is not intended for high-draw loads such as large inverter air conditioning units or electric water heaters. Sizing the inverter correctly to the expected load and battery capacity is essential for reliable operation.

Installation Notes
This inverter operates at 12V DC and must be connected to an appropriately rated battery bank with correctly sized DC cabling and fusing. DC wiring for inverters carries high current and must be installed by a competent person familiar with low-voltage DC systems. The IEC AC output is not intended for connection to a fixed building wiring circuit without appropriate isolation and protection. For any installation forming part of a fixed electrical system, work must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with BS 7671. This inverter is not a grid-tied device and does not require G98 or G99 notification.
