Description
xVictron Inverter 24V/500W 230V VE.Direct IEC
The Victron Inverter 24/500 is a compact DC-to-AC inverter designed for 24V battery systems, delivering 500W of continuous 230V AC output. It is aimed at off-grid professionals, marine and vehicle installers, and anyone needing a reliable standalone inverter for moderate AC loads. The VE.Direct communication port allows direct integration with Victron monitoring equipment without additional interfaces.
Key Features
- 500W continuous AC output at 230V from a 24V DC battery bank.
- VE.Direct port for direct communication with Victron monitoring devices, including the Color Control GX and Venus GX.
- IEC AC output socket for straightforward connection to standard European appliances.
- Pure sine wave output, suitable for sensitive electronics and motor-driven loads.
- Built-in protection against low battery voltage, high temperature and overload conditions.
- Compact and lightweight form factor at 4.025 kg, suitable for installation in confined spaces.
Product Overview
The 24/500 sits within Victron's VE.Direct inverter range, which is designed for straightforward off-grid and standalone applications where monitoring integration matters. The VE.Direct protocol is a low-cost, wired communication standard used across Victron's product ecosystem. Connecting this inverter to a GX device or a Victron dongle gives installers real-time visibility of AC output, battery state and fault conditions without additional converters or adaptors.
The pure sine wave output is an important practical detail. Many inverters in this power class produce modified sine wave output, which can cause problems with variable-speed motors, certain battery chargers and audio equipment. The 24/500 avoids these compatibility issues by producing a clean sine wave that matches grid-quality AC. At 500W continuous, it is well suited to powering lighting circuits, small appliances, laptops, routers and similar loads in off-grid cabins, boats, campervans and backup power setups.
The IEC outlet format is standard for European and UK equipment. The inverter's onboard protection circuits handle low battery cutoff, overtemperature shutdown and overload automatically, reducing the risk of battery damage or equipment failure in unattended installations.

Installation Notes
This inverter must be connected to a 24V DC battery system. Ensure DC cabling is correctly rated for the maximum input current draw at 500W output. The unit should be installed in a well-ventilated location away from flammable materials. Although this is a standalone off-grid inverter and does not connect to the grid, installation in a fixed system should be carried out by a qualified electrician. For integration into a wider Victron system, a VE.Direct cable (sold separately) is required to connect to a GX monitoring device.
