It is suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power setups where a reliable DC-to-AC conversion is required at modest load levels. The VE.Direct communication port allows integration with Victron monitoring equipment and the GX device ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500VA continuous output from a 48V DC battery bank, with 230V AC output via IEC connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure sine wave output, suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Direct communication port for connection to Victron GX devices, MPPT solar chargers and monitoring systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 4.1 kg, making it practical for space-constrained installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in protections include low battery voltage shutdown, overload protection and over-temperature shutdown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-frequency transformer design provides efficient DC-to-AC conversion with low no-load power consumption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48\/500 sits at the entry level of Victron's VE.Direct inverter range. At 500VA, it is not intended for high-demand loads, but it covers a wide range of practical applications: powering lighting circuits, small appliances, communications equipment, or providing a dedicated AC supply for a single device in an off-grid or mobile system. The 48V input voltage means it is designed for use with 48V battery banks, which are increasingly common in both residential off-grid and commercial telecom backup installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct port is a key practical feature. It allows the inverter to be monitored and controlled via Victron's GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX) or directly via a laptop or phone using the VE.Direct to USB interface. This means inverter status, load levels and fault conditions can be tracked remotely or logged as part of a wider Victron system. For standalone use without monitoring hardware, the inverter operates independently without any configuration required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IEC output socket is a standard IEC 60320 C13-type connection, which suits direct connection of IEC-terminated equipment or the use of a standard IEC lead to a local socket. Installers should confirm the output connection type meets the requirements of the specific installation before specifying this unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePIN481501100\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eInput Voltage (DC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e48V\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput Voltage (AC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e230V AC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eContinuous Output Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e500VA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput Waveform\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePure sine wave\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCommunication\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eVE.Direct\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Output Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eIEC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e4.1 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076056829\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote buildings with 48V battery banks requiring a modest AC supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat installations where 48V DC is the house bank voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTelecom and data equipment backup power in 48V DC systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle conversions and mobile off-grid setups needing 230V AC for tools or appliances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall solar off-grid systems where AC output is needed for a single circuit or device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron Inverter 48\/500 230V VE.Direct IEC unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis inverter must be connected to a 48V DC battery bank. DC cable sizing and fusing must be appropriate for the current draw at full load. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced installer familiar with DC power systems. The unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification. For integration into a wider Victron system, a compatible GX device and VE.Direct cable are required separately. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863692312910,"sku":"PIN481501100","price":113.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_PIN481501100_-_Inverter_48-500_230V_VE.Direct_IEC.webp?v=1781183459","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-inverter-48v-500va-230v-ve-direct-iec","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
