Description
xVictron Inverter Compact 12/1200 230V VE.Bus
The Victron Inverter Compact 12/1200 is a 1200VA pure sine wave inverter designed for 12V DC battery systems, delivering 230V AC output for off-grid, marine, vehicle and backup power applications. It communicates via the VE.Bus interface, allowing integration with compatible Victron system components. At just under 11kg, it is compact enough for installations where space is limited without sacrificing output capacity.
Key Features
- 1200VA continuous output from a 12V DC battery bank, providing 230V AC sine wave power.
- VE.Bus communication interface enables connection to Victron system monitors, panels and compatible Multi or Quattro units.
- Pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics, motor loads and standard AC equipment.
- Compact form factor at 10.96kg, suited to installations with restricted mounting space.
- Victron's established inverter platform with a track record across marine, vehicle, off-grid and standby applications.
- SKU CIN122120000, GTIN 8719076065036 for straightforward procurement and stock management.
Product Overview
The Inverter Compact 12/1200 converts 12V DC from a battery bank into 230V AC at 1200VA. The pure sine wave output means it is compatible with the full range of AC loads, including inductive loads such as motors and compressors, as well as sensitive electronics that would be damaged or disrupted by modified sine wave power. This makes it a practical choice for installations where the load profile is mixed or not fully defined at the time of commissioning.
The VE.Bus interface is a key differentiator in this product range. It allows the inverter to be monitored and controlled via Victron's GX devices, Color Control panels and compatible system components. For installers building out a Victron ecosystem, VE.Bus connectivity means the inverter can be integrated into a broader energy management setup rather than operating as a standalone unit. This is particularly relevant for off-grid cabins, liveaboard vessels and vehicle conversions where system visibility matters.
At 1200VA on a 12V platform, this inverter sits in a practical capacity range for loads such as lighting circuits, small appliances, power tools and AV equipment. It is not intended for high-draw loads such as electric kettles or immersion heaters at full rating, so load planning at the design stage is recommended.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring. Correct DC cable sizing and fusing between the battery bank and inverter is critical at 12V due to the high currents involved at this output rating. The VE.Bus interface requires compatible Victron cabling and devices for system integration. This inverter is not grid-connected and does not require G98 or G99 notification, but any AC distribution wiring must comply with current UK wiring regulations (BS 7671).
