Description
xVictron Inverter 48/375 230V VE.Direct UK
The Victron Inverter 48/375 is a compact, pure sine wave inverter designed for 48V battery systems, delivering 375VA of 230V AC output. It is aimed at off-grid professionals, marine and vehicle installers, and anyone needing a reliable DC-to-AC conversion in a space-constrained installation. The VE.Direct interface allows direct communication with compatible Victron monitoring devices and displays.
Key Features
- 375VA continuous output at 230V AC from a 48V DC battery bank.
- Pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.
- VE.Direct communication port for connection to Victron monitoring equipment such as the Color Control GX, CCGX or compatible displays.
- UK plug configuration included, ready for domestic and light commercial use.
- Compact and lightweight design at 3.25 kg, suited to installations with limited space.
- Built-in protections covering low battery voltage shutdown, overload and over-temperature.
Product Overview
The 48/375 sits at the entry level of Victron's VE.Direct inverter range. The 48V input voltage makes it appropriate for larger off-grid battery banks where higher voltage reduces cable losses and improves system efficiency. At 375VA, the unit is suited to powering smaller loads: lighting circuits, low-power tools, communication equipment, or single appliances in a cabin, boat or vehicle.
The VE.Direct port distinguishes this inverter from basic standalone units. When connected to a Victron GX device or a dedicated display such as the BMV-712 or SmartShunt, the inverter can report its status, output load and fault conditions into a centralised monitoring system. This is particularly useful in off-grid installations where remote visibility of system performance matters.
Pure sine wave output means the inverter does not produce the stepped waveform of modified sine wave units. This matters when running equipment with active power factor correction, variable speed motors, or audio and medical devices that are sensitive to waveform quality.

Applications
- Off-grid cabins and remote buildings with 48V battery banks requiring a small AC supply.
- Marine installations powering low-draw AC equipment from a 48V house bank.
- Vehicle conversions (motorhomes, vans) where a compact 48V inverter is needed for occasional AC loads.
- Backup power for communications or lighting circuits in telecoms or security installations.
- Small solar off-grid systems where the battery bank operates at 48V and AC output is required for specific appliances.

Installation Notes
This inverter operates at 48V DC and must be connected to a correctly fused and appropriately rated battery bank. DC wiring should be sized to handle the full load current and kept as short as practicable to minimise voltage drop. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced installer familiar with DC systems and off-grid AC wiring. This unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.
