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 battery systems, delivering 800VA of 230V AC output. It is suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power setups where a compact, reliable DC-to-AC conversion is required. The VE.Direct interface allows direct communication with compatible Victron monitoring equipment.
Key Features
- 800VA continuous output from a 24V DC input, producing clean 230V AC pure sine wave power suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.
- VE.Direct communication port enables connection to Victron monitoring devices, including the Color Control GX and compatible MPPT solar charge controllers.
- UK plug and socket configuration included, making it ready for use in British installations without additional adapters.
- Compact and lightweight design at 5.8 kg, practical for installations where space and weight are constrained.
- Built-in protections cover low battery voltage shutdown, over-temperature, overload and short circuit, reducing the risk of damage to the inverter and connected loads.
- PowerSave mode reduces no-load power consumption by switching to a low-power search mode when connected loads are minimal.
Product Overview
The Phoenix 24/800 converts 24V DC battery power to 230V AC at 50Hz, producing a pure sine wave output. This is important for loads that are sensitive to waveform quality, including variable-speed motor drives, medical equipment, audio equipment and modern switch-mode power supplies. A modified sine wave inverter can cause these loads to run inefficiently or fail entirely; the Phoenix avoids that problem.
The VE.Direct port is a key practical feature for professional installations. It allows the inverter to be monitored and controlled via Victron's GX devices and the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth (when used with a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle). This gives installers and end users visibility of AC output, battery state and alarm conditions without needing to be physically present at the unit.
PowerSave mode is worth configuring in any installation where the inverter will be left on standby for extended periods. The inverter pulses its output to detect whether a load is present, drawing significantly less current than it would at full idle. This extends battery runtime in off-grid and backup scenarios where loads are intermittent.

Installation Notes
This inverter must be connected to a 24V DC battery system. Ensure the battery bank and DC cabling are correctly rated for the peak current draw of the inverter. DC connections should be made by a competent electrician or qualified installer, with appropriately rated fusing fitted as close to the battery as practicable. The 230V AC output is not suitable for connection to the grid; this is a standalone off-grid inverter and does not carry G98 or G99 grid-connection approval. For installations in marine or vehicle environments, follow the relevant wiring regulations for the application. VE.Direct accessories such as a Bluetooth Smart dongle or USB interface cable are sold separately.
