It is aimed at professional installers, off-grid system builders and mobile power applications where a compact, reliable DC-to-AC conversion unit is required. The IEC output socket and VE.Direct communication port make it straightforward to integrate into monitored off-grid or backup power systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500VA continuous output from a 12V DC battery bank, with a pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e230V AC output via a standard IEC socket, compatible with a wide range of appliances and equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Direct communication port allows connection to Victron monitoring devices, including the Color Control GX, Cerbo GX and compatible MPPT charge controllers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight design at 4.1 kg, suited to installations where space and weight are considerations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in protections covering low battery shutdown, over-temperature and overload, reducing the risk of damage to the inverter or connected loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Victron's VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth dongle, enabling configuration and monitoring from a mobile device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phoenix 12\/500 produces a pure sine wave output, which is the correct waveform for running inductive loads such as motors, compressors and transformers, as well as any equipment with a switched-mode power supply. Modified sine wave inverters can cause problems with these load types; the Phoenix avoids that entirely. At 500VA, it is sized for smaller loads: lighting circuits, laptop and phone charging, small appliances, instrumentation or control equipment in off-grid cabins, vehicles, boats and similar installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct port is a key practical feature for system integrators. It allows the inverter to communicate with Victron GX devices, feeding operational data into a central monitoring system. This means inverter status, load levels and fault conditions can be tracked remotely through the VRM portal without additional hardware beyond a VE.Direct cable. For standalone use, VictronConnect provides access to settings and live data via a smartphone or tablet when a compatible interface dongle is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IEC output format is standard in the UK and EU for fixed wiring and equipment connections. The inverter draws from a 12V battery bank, making it directly compatible with common 12V lead-acid, AGM, gel and lithium battery systems. Battery type and low-voltage cutoff thresholds can be configured to match the installed battery chemistry, protecting the bank from excessive discharge.\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  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\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  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePIN121501100\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;\"\u003eInput Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput 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;\"\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;\"\u003eOutput Socket\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;\"\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;\"\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;\"\u003e8719076047131\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\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 a 12V battery bank requiring 230V AC output for appliances or lighting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations on 12V vessels needing a compact inverter for onboard equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCampervans, motorhomes and other leisure vehicles converting 12V battery power to 230V AC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power for small loads such as routers, instrumentation or control panels during mains outages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron-based off-grid systems where VE.Direct integration with a GX monitoring device is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Victron Phoenix Inverter 12\/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 connects directly to a 12V DC battery bank. DC wiring must be correctly sized for the current draw at full load, and an appropriately rated fuse or circuit breaker must be fitted as close to the battery as practicable. The 230V AC output should be wired by a qualified electrician in accordance with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). This inverter is not a grid-tied device and does not require G98 or G99 notification. For installations on boats, compliance with the relevant marine electrical standards should be confirmed with a qualified marine electrician. Battery type configuration should be set correctly before commissioning to ensure appropriate low-voltage cutoff thresholds are applied.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59864584847694,"sku":"PIN121501100","price":102.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_PIN121501100_-_Phoenix_Inverter_12-500_230V_VE.Direct_IEC.webp?v=1781187953","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-phoenix-inverter-12-500-230v-ve-direct-iec","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
