Description
xVictron Inverter 24V/1200W 230V VE.Direct (UK)
The Victron Inverter 24/1200 230V VE.Direct is a pure sine wave inverter designed for 24V DC battery systems, delivering 1200W of continuous AC output at 230V. It is suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power setups where a reliable DC-to-AC conversion is required without a built-in charger.
Key Features
- 1200W continuous output power from a 24V DC battery bank, with 230V AC output compatible with UK and European appliances.
- Pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with sensitive electronics, motors and compressors.
- VE.Direct communication port allows monitoring and configuration via Victron's GX devices, Color Control GX, or a PC using VictronConnect software.
- Low power mode (search mode) reduces idle consumption when loads are light or absent.
- Built-in protections include low battery voltage shutdown, high battery voltage shutdown, overload protection and over-temperature shutdown.
- UK plug and socket configuration included, ready for domestic and light commercial use.
- Compact and relatively lightweight at 6.9 kg, making it practical for fixed and mobile installations.
Product Overview
The 24/1200 sits within Victron's established VE.Direct inverter range, which uses a serial communication interface to connect with the broader Victron ecosystem. The VE.Direct port allows the inverter to report operational data, including battery voltage, output load and alarm states, to a compatible GX device or directly to a laptop or phone via a VE.Direct to USB cable. This makes it straightforward to integrate into a monitored off-grid system without additional wiring complexity.
The 24V input voltage makes this inverter appropriate for larger battery banks where a 24V nominal system is already in use, such as those built around two 12V batteries in series or a 24V lithium battery. The 1200W continuous rating is sufficient for powering tools, lighting circuits, refrigeration, and general AC loads in off-grid cabins, campervans, boats and similar applications. The pure sine wave output means it will not cause issues with inductive loads or sensitive electronics that a modified sine wave inverter might affect.
Victron's low power mode cuts standby draw significantly when no load is detected, which matters in battery-dependent systems where parasitic consumption can deplete a bank overnight. The inverter will automatically restart when a load is reconnected.

Installation Notes
This inverter should be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. DC cable sizing and fusing must be appropriate for the current draw at 24V, which will be significant at full load. Ensure the battery bank is rated to supply the required peak current. For any installation forming part of a grid-connected or building electrical system, compliance with current UK wiring regulations (BS 7671) is required. This unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification. Secure ventilation clearances must be maintained around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.
