Description
xVictron Phoenix Inverter Compact 24/1600 230V VE.Bus — CIN241620000
The Victron Phoenix Inverter Compact 24/1600 is a 24V DC to 230V AC pure sine wave inverter rated at 1600VA continuous output. It is designed for off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power systems where a compact, reliable DC-to-AC conversion is required. The VE.Bus interface allows integration with other Victron equipment for monitoring and system control.
Key Features
- 1600VA continuous output with 230V AC pure sine wave output, suitable for sensitive loads including motors and electronics.
- 24V DC input, compatible with standard 24V battery banks used in off-grid and marine systems.
- VE.Bus communication port enables connection to Victron Multi Control panels, Color Control GX, and other VE.Bus-compatible devices.
- Compact form factor at 10 kg, making it practical for installations with limited space such as vehicles, boats and small off-grid cabinets.
- Built-in protection against overload, over-temperature, and low battery voltage, with automatic shutdown and restart.
- High surge power capability to handle the start-up current demands of inductive loads such as pumps and compressors.
Product Overview
The Phoenix Inverter Compact range sits between Victron's basic standalone inverters and the full MultiPlus series. The 24/1600 model converts 24V DC battery power to a stable 230V AC sine wave output, making it suitable for powering standard household and commercial appliances from a battery bank. The VE.Bus interface is the key differentiator from simpler inverter models: it allows the unit to communicate with Victron GX devices, remote panels, and system monitors, giving installers full visibility and control over inverter operation.
The compact physical design reduces the footprint compared to the standard Phoenix Inverter range, which is relevant in installations where panel space or enclosure size is constrained. At 10 kg, it is manageable for a single installer to mount. The unit is not a charger or hybrid inverter; it performs DC-to-AC inversion only. If a combined inverter-charger is required, the MultiPlus or MultiPlus-II range should be considered instead.
Note: If stock of CIN241620000 shows as zero, Victron recommends ordering CIN242160000 as the replacement or alternative unit. Confirm the correct model with your supplier before ordering.

What Is Included
- 1x Victron Phoenix Inverter Compact 24/1600 230V VE.Bus (CIN241620000)
Installation Notes
This inverter operates at 24V DC and must be connected to a correctly fused and rated DC battery system. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC power systems and Victron equipment. The VE.Bus port requires appropriate Victron cabling and a compatible GX device or control panel for remote monitoring and configuration. This unit is an inverter only and does not include battery charging capability. Ensure the battery bank is sized appropriately for the intended load and discharge depth. For any grid-connected or hybrid application, a MultiPlus or Quattro unit should be used instead.
