xVictron Phoenix Inverter 12/1600 230V VE.Direct - PIN122161400
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/1600 is a robust and reliable inverter that delivers 230V AC from a 12V battery source. With increased output power compared to the 1200 model, it is well suited for running more demanding household and professional equipment. Built on Victron’s proven design, it ensures safe and efficient power conversion with long-term durability.
Inverter Features
Proven Reliability
The inverter uses a full bridge with toroidal transformer topology that has been trusted for many years. It is short circuit proof and protected against overheating, whether from overload or high ambient temperature.
High Start-Up Power
Designed to power loads with high inrush currents such as LED drivers, halogen and filament lamps, or electric tools.
AC Output Socket Options
This inverter is available with different AC output sockets: Schuko, UK, AU/NZ or IEC-320 (supplied with male plug).
ECO Mode
ECO mode reduces power consumption by up to 85% by switching to standby when loads are low. It checks periodically for increased load demand and resumes full operation when required. Sensitivity settings are fully configurable.
Fully Configurable
- AC output voltage and frequency
- Low battery voltage cut-off and restart levels
- ECO mode on/off and ECO mode sensitivity
Automatic Transfer Switch
Pair with the Filax2 Automatic Transfer Switch for seamless transfer to another AC source. With less than 20 milliseconds switchover, sensitive electronics such as computers continue to run without disruption. Alternatively, use an inverter/charger with a built-in transfer switch.
ON/OFF/ECO Switch
- ON – Turns the inverter on
- OFF – Switches the inverter off
- ECO – Activates ECO mode
