Description
xVictron Inverter 24/500 230V VE.Direct IEC
The Victron Inverter 24/500 is a compact 500VA pure sine wave inverter designed for 24V DC battery systems, converting stored energy to 230V AC output. It is aimed at off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power setups where a reliable, monitored DC-to-AC conversion is required. The VE.Direct communication port allows integration with Victron monitoring equipment and the GX device ecosystem.
Key Features
- 500VA continuous output at 230V AC from a 24V DC battery bank.
- Pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.
- VE.Direct communication port for connection to Victron GX devices, MPPT solar chargers and monitoring software such as VictronConnect.
- IEC AC output connector for straightforward, standardised wiring.
- Compact and lightweight design at 4.025 kg, suited to space-constrained installations.
- Built-in protections including low battery voltage shutdown, over-temperature and overload protection.
- SKU: PIN241501100 | GTIN: 8719076056003
Product Overview
The 24/500 sits at the entry level of Victron's VE.Direct inverter range. It accepts a 24V DC input from a battery bank and produces a clean 230V AC sine wave output at up to 500VA. Pure sine wave output is important where loads include variable-speed motors, medical equipment, audio equipment or any device with a switched-mode power supply, as modified sine wave inverters can cause these to run inefficiently or fail prematurely.
The VE.Direct port is a key practical feature. It allows the inverter to communicate directly with Victron GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX), enabling remote monitoring, state-of-charge visibility and system-level control without additional hardware. It also connects to the VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth dongle, giving installers direct access to settings and live data during commissioning. This level of integration is what distinguishes the VE.Direct range from basic standalone inverters.
The IEC output connector is a standard format used widely in professional installations and makes the unit straightforward to wire into a distribution board or connect to a load. The inverter's onboard protections handle low battery cutoff, overload and over-temperature conditions automatically, reducing the risk of battery damage or equipment failure in unattended installations.

Installation Notes
This inverter operates from a 24V DC battery system and should be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. DC cabling must be correctly rated for the expected current draw and kept as short as practicable to minimise voltage drop. A suitably rated DC fuse or circuit breaker must be fitted on the positive battery cable close to the battery terminal. This unit is not grid-connected and does not require G98 or G99 notification. For installations in marine or vehicle environments, ensure the mounting location provides adequate ventilation to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.
