Description
xVictron Inverter 48/1200 230V VE.Direct IEC
The Victron Inverter 48/1200 is a pure sine wave inverter designed for 48V battery systems, delivering 1200VA of continuous AC output at 230V. It is aimed at off-grid installers, marine and vehicle applications, and anyone needing a compact, reliable DC-to-AC conversion unit with direct monitoring capability via VE.Direct.
Key Features
- 1200VA continuous output from a 48V DC battery bank, with IEC AC output connector for straightforward wiring.
- Pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics, motors and appliances that require clean AC power.
- VE.Direct communication port enables connection to Victron monitoring devices including the Color Control GX, Cerbo GX and compatible displays.
- Compact and lightweight at 6.9 kg, making it practical for installations where space and weight are constraints.
- Low idle power consumption reduces unnecessary battery drain in systems that are not under constant load.
- Built-in protections covering over-temperature, overload and low battery voltage shutdown to protect both the inverter and the battery bank.
Product Overview
The 48/1200 sits within Victron's VE.Direct inverter range, which uses a dedicated serial communication port rather than Bluetooth or VE.Bus. This makes it straightforward to integrate into a monitored off-grid system using a GX device, while keeping the unit itself compact and cost-effective. The 48V input voltage is well suited to larger battery banks where higher voltage reduces cable losses and improves overall system efficiency compared to 12V or 24V equivalents.
The IEC output format means the AC side terminates in a standard IEC connector, which is common in European and UK installations and simplifies connection to distribution boards or direct appliance feeds. The 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, all of which can behave poorly or be damaged by modified sine wave inverters.
VE.Direct connectivity allows real-time monitoring of inverter state, output power, battery voltage and alarm conditions through compatible Victron GX devices or the VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB interface. This is particularly useful in unattended or remote installations where fault visibility matters.

Installation Notes
This inverter operates at 48V DC and must be connected to a correctly fused and appropriately rated DC cable run. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC battery systems and AC distribution. The IEC output is not intended for direct connection to a building's fixed wiring without appropriate isolation and protection. For off-grid systems integrated with solar charge controllers or battery management systems, ensure all components are rated and configured for the same battery voltage. VE.Direct monitoring requires a compatible Victron GX device or a VE.Direct to USB adapter used with VictronConnect software.
