It connects via VE.Bus, allowing integration with Victron's wider ecosystem of monitoring and control devices. This model suits professional installers specifying a compact, bus-connected inverter for mobile or fixed off-grid installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1600VA continuous output at 230V AC from a 12V DC battery bank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Bus communication port for integration with Victron MultiPlus, Quattro, Color Control GX and other compatible devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor with a weight of 10 kg, suited to space-constrained installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron's proven inverter protection: over-temperature, overload, low battery voltage shutdown and short-circuit protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: CIN122160000 | GTIN: 8719076065043\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Compact 12\/1600 sits within Victron's inverter-only range, meaning it converts DC battery power to AC mains voltage but does not include a built-in charger. This makes it appropriate where a separate charger is already in place or where charging is handled by solar via an MPPT controller. The 12V input voltage is well matched to single-battery-bank systems commonly found in boats, campervans, vehicles and small off-grid cabins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVE.Bus connectivity is a key differentiator in this range. Unlike simpler inverters with no communication capability, the VE.Bus interface allows the unit to be monitored and configured remotely using a GX device or the VictronConnect app via a suitable interface. This is particularly useful in professional installations where system visibility and fault diagnostics are required without physical access to the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pure sine wave output means the inverter 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 adversely affected by a modified sine wave supply. At 1600VA, the unit can handle a meaningful range of domestic and light commercial loads in an off-grid context.\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;\"\u003eCIN122160000\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eDC Input Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Output Voltage\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;\"\u003e1600VA\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.Bus\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;\"\u003e10 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;\"\u003e8719076065043\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 powered by a 12V battery bank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations requiring a bus-connected inverter for system monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCampervan and motorhome conversions where a pure sine wave output is required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle-based power systems for service vehicles, mobile workshops or broadcast units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power systems where a separate charger is already installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron system expansions requiring a VE.Bus-compatible inverter\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 Compact 12\/1600 230V VE.Bus unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis inverter operates at 12V DC and must be connected to an appropriately rated battery bank with correctly sized DC cabling and fusing.
