Description
xVictron Inverter 12/2000 230V Smart
The Victron Inverter 12/2000 230V Smart is a pure sine wave inverter designed to convert 12V DC battery power to 230V AC at up to 2000VA continuous output. It is suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power systems where a reliable AC supply is needed from a 12V battery bank. The built-in Bluetooth module allows monitoring and configuration directly from a smartphone without additional hardware.
Key Features
- 2000VA continuous output with 230V AC pure sine wave output, suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.
- 12V DC input with Bluetooth connectivity built in, enabling configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- PowerControl and PowerAssist functions allow the inverter to supplement an AC shore or generator supply rather than replace it, reducing peak demand on the source.
- Adjustable low battery shutdown, restart and alarm thresholds via VictronConnect, allowing the inverter to be tuned to the specific battery chemistry and bank size.
- Comprehensive protection including over-temperature, overload, short circuit and reverse polarity, with automatic recovery where appropriate.
- Compatible with Victron's GX monitoring ecosystem, enabling integration into larger off-grid or backup systems with centralised data logging.
- Weight of 13.2 kg in a compact chassis suitable for fixed installation in confined spaces such as lockers, vans and plant rooms.
Product Overview
The 12/2000 Smart uses a high-frequency transformer design to deliver a clean pure sine wave output. This matters in practice because variable-speed motor loads, medical equipment, audio equipment and modern switch-mode power supplies all require a stable sine wave to operate correctly. A modified sine wave inverter will cause problems with many of these loads; the 12/2000 Smart does not.
The Bluetooth Smart integration removes the need for a separate interface cable or display panel during commissioning. Using VictronConnect, an installer can set battery voltage thresholds, check real-time load and input voltage, and review alarm history directly from a phone or tablet. This is particularly useful in installations where the inverter is mounted in a difficult-to-access location. For permanent monitoring, the inverter can be connected to a Victron GX device via a VE.Direct cable (sold separately), feeding data into the Venus OS dashboard and Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal.
At 2000VA, this unit covers a broad range of loads: lighting circuits, small appliances, power tools, pumps and entertainment systems. It is not a hybrid inverter and does not include a battery charger or solar charge controller input. If a combined inverter-charger is required, Victron's MultiPlus range should be considered instead.

- Marine installations requiring 230V AC from a 12V domestic battery system.
- Campervan and motorhome conversions where 230V appliances need to run from the leisure battery.
- Vehicle-mounted equipment and mobile workshops requiring AC power in the field.
- Backup power for critical loads during mains outages, used alongside a separate battery charger.
- Temporary site power where a generator is not practical or permitted.

Installation Notes
This inverter operates at high DC currents from a 12V battery bank and must be installed by a competent electrician or qualified installer. DC cabling, fusing and connections must be correctly sized for the continuous and peak current draw at 12V. The AC output must be wired in compliance with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). This unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification, but any integration with a building's fixed wiring must be carried out by a qualified person. Battery connections should be fused as close to the battery terminals as possible. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.
