xVictron Phoenix Inverter Compact 12/1200 230V VE.Bus — CIN121220000
The Victron Phoenix Inverter Compact 12/1200 is a 1200VA pure sine wave inverter designed for 12V DC systems, delivering 230V AC output. It is aimed at professional installers working on off-grid, marine, vehicle and backup power applications where a compact, reliable inverter with VE.Bus connectivity is required.
Key Features
- 1200VA continuous output power from a 12V DC battery bank, with 230V AC sine wave output.
- VE.Bus communication port enables integration with Victron system monitoring, remote panels and Multi/Quattro systems.
- Compact form factor at 10.96 kg, suited to installations where space and weight are constrained.
- Pure sine wave output is compatible with sensitive electronics, motors and appliances that require clean AC power.
- Built-in protections include low battery voltage shutdown, overload protection and over-temperature shutdown.
- Configurable via VE.Bus, allowing adjustment of operational parameters to suit specific system requirements.
Product Overview
The Phoenix Inverter Compact 12/1200 converts 12V DC battery power to 230V AC at up to 1200VA. The pure sine wave output means it is suitable for a wide range of loads, including inductive loads such as motors and compressors, as well as sensitive electronics that would be damaged or disrupted by modified sine wave inverters.
The VE.Bus interface is a key feature for system integrators. It allows the inverter to communicate with Victron's broader ecosystem, including the Color Control GX, Venus GX and compatible remote panels. This makes it straightforward to incorporate into a monitored off-grid or backup system where centralised control and data logging are required.
Note: If stock of CIN121220000 is unavailable, the equivalent replacement is CIN122120000. Confirm the correct SKU with your supplier before ordering.
