Description
xVictron Inverter 24/500 230V VE.Direct UK
The Victron Inverter 24/500 is a compact DC to AC inverter designed for 24V battery systems, delivering 500VA of continuous 230V AC output. It is suited to off-grid installations, vehicle and marine applications, and backup power setups where a reliable, lightweight inverter is required. VE.Direct connectivity 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.
- VE.Direct port for direct communication with Victron GX devices, MPPT solar charge controllers and monitoring software.
- UK plug socket output, making it ready for use with standard British appliances without adapters.
- Pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics, motors and appliances that require clean AC power.
- Compact and lightweight construction at 4.1 kg, practical for installations with limited space or weight constraints.
- Built-in protections covering low battery voltage shutdown, over-temperature and overload conditions.
- LED indicators provide at-a-glance status for power, bulk and fault conditions.
Product Overview
The 24/500 sits at the entry level of Victron's VE.Direct inverter range. It converts 24V DC from a battery bank into 230V AC sine wave output, making it usable with standard UK mains-voltage equipment. The 500VA rating is appropriate for lower-demand loads such as lighting circuits, small power tools, laptop chargers, communication equipment and similar devices. It is not intended for high-draw appliances such as kettles or immersion heaters.
The VE.Direct interface is a key practical feature for professional installations. It allows the inverter to communicate with Victron Cerbo GX, Color Control GX and other GX devices, enabling remote monitoring, on/off control and data logging through the VictronConnect app or the VRM online portal. This makes the unit straightforward to integrate into a wider Victron system without additional hardware.
The UK variant ships with a British socket on the AC output, which is an important distinction from the standard European model. Confirm the correct variant is selected before ordering if the installation requires a specific socket type.

Installation Notes
This inverter must be connected to a 24V DC battery system. Ensure DC cabling is correctly rated for the maximum input current and that appropriate DC fusing is installed between the battery and the inverter. The unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person familiar with DC and AC wiring. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load. VE.Direct cable is not included and must be purchased separately if monitoring integration is required.
