Description
xVictron Phoenix Inverter 48/5000 230V VE.Bus
The Victron Phoenix 48/5000 is a pure sine wave inverter designed for off-grid, backup and mobile power applications requiring a continuous 5000W output from a 48V DC battery bank. It is built for professional installations where load capacity, monitoring integration and system expandability are priorities.
Key Features
- 5000VA continuous output power at 230V AC, pure sine wave
- 48V DC input voltage, compatible with 48V lead-acid and lithium battery banks
- VE.Bus communication port for integration with Victron system components including Multi, Quattro and GX devices
- Parallel and three-phase operation supported via VE.Bus, allowing multiple units to be combined for higher power or three-phase output
- Programmable relay and remote on/off capability for system automation
- Overload and over-temperature protection with automatic shutdown and restart
- Low idle power consumption, reducing parasitic draw in standby-heavy installations
Product Overview
The Phoenix 48/5000 produces a clean, grid-quality pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive loads including motors, compressors, medical equipment and variable-speed drives. Unlike modified sine wave inverters, it does not introduce harmonic distortion that can damage or degrade connected equipment.
The VE.Bus interface is a key differentiator in this range. It allows the inverter to communicate directly with Victron GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX), enabling full system monitoring, remote configuration via VictronConnect or VEConfigure, and integration into larger Victron installations. VE.Bus also enables parallel stacking of multiple Phoenix units to increase total output capacity, or configuration as a three-phase system where the application demands it.
At 28kg, this is a substantial unit intended for fixed installation. The build is suited to demanding environments including marine, vehicle, industrial and off-grid building applications where a reliable, high-capacity inverter is required over extended periods.

Installation Notes
This inverter operates at high DC current levels from a 48V battery bank and must be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. Correct cable sizing, fusing and battery connection torque are critical at this power level. For any installation connected to or operating alongside a grid supply, compliance with G98 or G99 (as applicable) and local DNO requirements must be confirmed. VE.Bus configuration requires Victron's VEConfigure software or a compatible GX device. Lithium battery compatibility should be verified against the battery BMS specifications before commissioning.
