Inversor C 24/1600

The Victron Energy Inverter C 24/1600 provides a continuous output power of 1300 W (1600 VA) at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. This power is sufficient to supply a wide range of electrical devices on board.

This inverter can deliver a peak power of up to 3000 W. This capacity is particularly useful for starting demanding loads such as compressors, electric motors, or power tools that require a high inrush current at startup.

The Inverter C 24/1600 produces a pure sine wave signal (True Sine Wave) thanks to SinusMax technology. This ensures high-quality power supply suitable for all types of sensitive electronic equipment without risk of damage or malfunction.

The Victron Energy Inverter C 24/1600 inverter is designed to operate with a 24 V DC input voltage. The accepted input voltage range is 18.6 V to 34 V.

The inverter provides an AC output voltage of 230 V AC. This voltage is configurable between 210 V and 245 V. The output frequency is 50 Hz or 60 Hz, with a precision of ±0.1 %.

Yes, the inverter includes a programmable ECO mode. In ECO mode, the inverter switches to standby when the connected load drops below a predefined level. In standby mode, the inverter briefly activates every 2.5 seconds (adjustable duration) to detect if the load has exceeded the predefined level, in which case it remains on. This reduces idle power consumption to just 1.3 W for the 24 V model.

The inverter provides comprehensive protection to ensure the safety of the device and the system. It is protected against:

Output short circuitsOverloadsExcessively high battery voltagesExcessively low battery voltagesExcessively high internal temperaturesPresence of AC voltage on the inverter outputExcessive input voltage ripple

The Victron Energy Inverter C 24/1600 has a maximum efficiency of up to 94% for the 24 V model. This high efficiency minimizes energy losses during DC to AC conversion, optimizing battery energy use.

The Inverter C 24/1600 inverter has dimensions of 485 x 219 x 125 mm (height x width x depth) and weighs 12 kg. Its compact dimensions and reasonable weight make installation in various environments straightforward.

The inverter housing is made of steel (RAL 5012 blue and RAL 9017 black) and has an IP21 protection rating. This means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and against vertically falling water droplets.

No, the Victron Energy Inverter C 24/1600 does not support parallel operation or three-phase configurations. It is designed to operate as a standalone unit.

No, the Inverter C 24/1600 is a pure inverter. It does not include battery charging or automatic transfer switching functions. For these features, consider other Victron Energy product ranges such as MultiPlus or Quattro.

The inverter offers several monitoring and configuration options:

Built-in Bluetooth: Allows easy configuration and monitoring via a smartphone or tablet using the VictronConnect app.VE.Direct communication port: Can be connected to a computer (requires a VE.Direct to USB interface cable) or to devices such as a Cerbo GX for advanced system monitoring and integration.

Thanks to its SinusMax technology and high peak power capacity (3000 W), the inverter is well-suited for powering difficult loads. It can handle devices such as compressors, electric motors, pumps, power tools, and all sensitive electronic equipment requiring a pure sine wave power supply.

The inverter is designed to operate with 24 V DC battery systems. It is compatible with most 24 V battery types available on the market, including lead-acid batteries (AGM, Gel, flooded) and lithium batteries. Ensure the battery capacity is sufficient for the application and that the battery cables have adequate cross-section.

The inverter must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated location, as close as possible to the batteries to minimize voltage losses in the cables. It is recommended to mount it on the wall, preferably in a vertical position for optimal ventilation.

To ensure adequate cooling and prevent overheating, there must be at least 10 cm of free space around the device. Excessively high ambient temperature can reduce the device's lifespan, peak capacity, or cause it to shut down. Never mount the device directly above batteries.

For optimal performance, use battery cables with adequate cross-section. For cable lengths up to 6 meters, a 50 mm² cross-section is recommended for the 24/1600 model. Battery connections are made using M8 bolts. Ensure nuts are tightened firmly to reduce contact resistance.

AC connection is made via screw terminals. The connection points are clearly labeled: 'PE' (earth), 'L' (live) and 'N' (neutral). The inverter's chassis must be earthed to ensure proper operation of an AC differential circuit breaker (GFCI or RCCB) installed on the AC output.
