Description
xVictron Inverter 24/1200 230V VE.Direct UK
The Victron Inverter 24/1200 is a pure sine wave inverter designed to convert 24V DC battery power to 230V AC mains voltage. It is aimed at off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power systems where a reliable, compact inverter is required. The VE.Direct interface allows direct communication with compatible Victron monitoring equipment.
Key Features
- 1200VA continuous output power from a 24V DC battery bank to 230V AC
- Pure sine wave output, suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads
- VE.Direct port for connection to Victron monitoring devices such as the Color Control GX, Cerbo GX, or a PC via VE.Direct to USB interface
- UK plug and socket configuration included as standard
- Protections include low battery voltage shutdown, over-temperature, and overload cutoff
- High efficiency design minimises battery drain during light loads
- Compact and lightweight form factor at 6.9 kg, suitable for space-constrained installations
Product Overview
The 24/1200 sits in Victron's VE.Direct inverter range, which is distinct from the MultiPlus and Phoenix inverter/charger lines in that it is a standalone inverter only, with no integrated battery charger. This makes it well suited to systems where charging is handled separately, such as solar-only off-grid setups using an MPPT charge controller, or vehicle and marine installations with alternator charging.
The VE.Direct communication port is a key practical feature for professional installations. It allows the inverter to be integrated into a Victron GX-based monitoring system, enabling remote monitoring, data logging, and alarm management without additional wiring complexity. For smaller systems without a GX device, a VE.Direct to USB cable connects the inverter directly to VictronConnect on a laptop or mobile device for configuration and diagnostics.
Pure sine wave output means the inverter is compatible with the full range of AC loads, including inductive loads such as motors and compressors, as well as sensitive electronics that would not tolerate the modified sine wave output of lower-cost alternatives. The 24V input voltage is appropriate for medium-capacity battery banks where higher voltage reduces cable losses compared to a 12V system.

Installation Notes
This inverter should be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. DC cabling between the battery bank and inverter must be correctly rated for the current involved at 24V, and appropriate DC fusing must be fitted as close to the battery as practicable. The unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification. For integration into a Victron GX monitoring system, a VE.Direct cable is required and sold separately. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.
