Description
xPhoenix Inverter 24/800 230V VE.Direct UK
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 24/800 is a pure sine wave inverter designed for 24V DC systems, delivering 800VA of continuous AC output at 230V. It is suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power setups where a reliable, compact inverter is required. The VE.Direct interface allows direct communication with compatible Victron monitoring devices and displays.
Key Features
- Pure sine wave output at 230V AC, suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.
- 800VA continuous power output from a 24V DC battery bank.
- VE.Direct port for connection to Victron monitoring accessories including the Color Control GX, MPPT displays, and the VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth dongle.
- High surge power capability to handle inrush currents from motors and compressors.
- Built-in protections covering low battery voltage shutdown, high battery voltage, overload, short circuit, and over-temperature.
- Compact and lightweight design at 5.8 kg, suitable for space-constrained installations.
- UK plug and socket configuration included, ready for domestic 230V UK wiring standards.
Product Overview
The Phoenix 24/800 converts 24V DC battery power to a clean 230V AC pure sine wave output. Pure sine wave output is important where loads include variable speed motors, medical equipment, audio equipment, or any device with a switched-mode power supply. Modified sine wave inverters can cause these devices to run inefficiently or fail entirely. The Phoenix range avoids this by producing mains-quality AC power.
The VE.Direct interface is a key practical feature for professional installations. It allows the inverter to be monitored and controlled remotely via Victron's GX devices or a laptop or phone running VictronConnect. Installers can read real-time data including AC output load, DC input voltage, and alarm status without needing to be physically present at the inverter. This is particularly useful in battery backup and off-grid systems where remote monitoring is a standard requirement.
At 800VA, this unit is appropriate for moderate loads: lighting circuits, small appliances, power tools, and similar equipment. It is not intended for high-demand loads such as electric kettles, immersion heaters, or large air conditioning units. Sizing the inverter correctly to the intended load is essential for reliable operation and battery longevity.

Installation Notes
This inverter must be connected to a 24V DC battery system using appropriately rated DC cabling and fusing. DC connections should be kept as short as possible to minimise voltage drop and resistive losses. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced installer familiar with DC power systems and 230V AC wiring regulations. The unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification. For off-grid solar installations, ensure the battery bank, charge controller, and inverter are correctly sized and matched. The VE.Direct port requires a compatible cable or dongle (sold separately) to enable monitoring via VictronConnect or a GX device.
