Description
xPhoenix Inverter 48/5000 230V Smart
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/5000 230V Smart is a high-capacity pure sine wave inverter designed for off-grid and backup power applications. It converts 48V DC battery power to 230V AC at up to 5000VA continuous output, making it suited to demanding loads in professional off-grid installations, marine systems and critical backup setups. Built-in Bluetooth allows direct configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app without additional hardware.
Key Features
- 5000VA continuous output with a pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive and high-draw loads.
- 48V DC input voltage, compatible with 48V battery banks including lithium and lead-acid chemistries.
- Built-in Bluetooth Smart for wireless monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- PowerAssist capability allows the inverter to supplement an AC source, preventing overload on a limited generator or shore power supply.
- Programmable relay for generator start/stop or alarm functions.
- Wide input voltage range with configurable low battery shutdown and restart thresholds to protect battery banks.
- Compatible with Victron GX devices for integration into a full Victron system with remote monitoring via VRM portal.
Product Overview
The Phoenix 48/5000 sits at the top of the Phoenix inverter range and is built for installations where continuous high-power output is required from a 48V battery system. At 5000VA, it can handle large combined loads such as multiple appliances, power tools, or critical equipment in off-grid cabins, vehicles, vessels and telecom or industrial backup systems. The pure sine wave output means it is compatible with any AC load, including motor-driven equipment and sensitive electronics.
The integrated Bluetooth Smart module removes the need for a separate interface dongle. Installers can connect directly from a smartphone to adjust protection thresholds, monitor real-time voltage and load data, and update firmware. For larger system integration, the inverter connects to Victron GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX) via a VE.Direct port, enabling full system oversight through the VRM online portal. This makes it a practical choice for professional installations where remote monitoring is a requirement.
The Phoenix 48/5000 includes a transfer switch for seamless changeover between AC input (generator or shore power) and inverter output. The PowerAssist function allows the unit to add inverter power on top of a limited AC source, which is particularly useful when a generator cannot sustain peak load demands on its own. Protection features include over-temperature, overload and short-circuit shutdown, with automatic restart once conditions normalise.

Installation Notes
This inverter operates at 48V DC and 5000VA output. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer with experience in DC battery systems and AC distribution. Correct cable sizing, fusing and battery bank configuration are critical at this power level. For any grid-tied or generator-integrated applications, ensure all connections comply with current UK wiring regulations. The unit is not a grid-tied inverter and does not hold G98 or G99 certification. Consult Victron's wiring documentation and engage a qualified professional for commissioning.
