Detailed description

Designed for marine and mobile environments, the Victron Energy Inverter 12/3000 Smart provides reliable AC power from a 12V DC source. This pure sine wave inverter is a dedicated solution for efficiently converting direct current from your batteries into stable alternating current, essential for sensitive electronic equipment and household appliances on board.

Electrical Performance and Reliability

The 12/3000 Smart model delivers a continuous output power of 3000 VA (2400W) at 25°C and can handle a peak power of 6000W, allowing the startup of inductive loads such as power tools or LED lamp converters. Its maximum efficiency reaches 93%. The device operates with a DC input voltage of 9.3 to 17V and generates an AC output voltage of 230 VAC ±2%, configurable at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The full-bridge topology with toroidal transformer ensures proven reliability and high surge capacity. Integrated protections cover output short circuits, overloads, high or low battery voltages, overheating, AC voltage presence at the output, and high DC ripple.

Smart Connectivity and Advanced Configuration

The Inverter 12/3000 Smart includes Bluetooth for simplified configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app on a smartphone or tablet. This feature allows adjustment of parameters such as low battery voltage alarm levels, cut-off thresholds, output voltage and frequency, as well as ECO mode settings. A VE.Direct communication port is also available for connection to a computer via a VE.Direct to USB interface cable, or to a GX monitoring device like the Cerbo GX, offering complete system management. A remote on/off function and a programmable relay for alarms or generator start/stop complete its capabilities.

ECO Mode and Positioning in the Victron Range

The integrated ECO mode reduces energy consumption by putting the inverter in standby when the load drops below a predefined value, with automatic reactivation when the load increases. This function helps optimize battery autonomy. Positioned as a pure inverter, the Victron Energy Inverter 12/3000 Smart stands out from multifunction models like the MultiPlus-II 12/3000. While the MultiPlus-II combines an inverter, an advanced battery charger, and PowerControl/PowerAssist functions, the Phoenix Inverter Smart is a simpler, inverter-only unit. It is ideal for installations where battery charging is managed by a separate system or where the complexity of an inverter/charger is not required. Its fully metallic housing and accessible terminals facilitate professional installation, although its IP21 protection is intended for environments protected from direct water exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the continuous output power of the Victron Energy Inverter 12/3000 Smart?

The Victron Energy Inverter 12/3000 Smart provides a continuous output power of 3000 VA (i.e., 2400 W) when operating at an ambient temperature of 25°C. It can also handle a peak power of 6000 W for starting demanding loads.

What is the required DC input voltage range for this inverter?

The Victron Energy Inverter 12/3000 Smart requires a DC input voltage between 9.3 V and 17 V to operate correctly. It is specifically designed for 12 V battery systems.

What are the AC output voltage and frequency of the inverter?

The inverter outputs AC voltage of 230 VAC with a tolerance of ±2%. The output frequency is configurable and can be set to 50 Hz or 60 Hz, depending on your specific requirements.

What type of output wave does the Victron Energy Inverter 12/3000 Smart produce?

This inverter produces a pure sine wave. This feature is essential for powering sensitive electronic equipment and household appliances, ensuring stable operation without interference.

How can I configure and monitor the inverter via Bluetooth?

The Inverter 12/3000 Smart inverter includes Bluetooth functionality. You can configure and monitor it easily using the VictronConnect app, available on your smartphone or tablet.

What is the VE.Direct communication port on the inverter used for?

The VE.Direct communication port allows you to connect the inverter to a computer via a VE.Direct to USB interface cable, or to a GX monitoring device such as the Cerbo GX. This provides full system management and monitoring.

How does the inverter's ECO mode work?

The ECO mode allows the inverter to switch to standby when the connected load drops below a predefined value (minimum 15 W). The inverter then briefly powers back on at regular intervals (default every 2.5 seconds, adjustable) to check if the load has increased. If it detects a load above the defined threshold, it remains powered on.

What built-in protections does this inverter have?

The inverter is equipped with multiple protections to ensure its reliability and the safety of your installation. These include protections against:

Output short circuitsOverloadsBattery voltages too high or too lowOverheatingAC voltage present at the outputHigh DC ripple

What are the recommendations for the installation location of the inverter?

For optimal performance, the inverter must be installed on a flat surface. Avoid any contact with water, direct exposure to sunlight, and ensure the ambient temperature is between -20°C and 40°C. Leave at least 10 cm of free space around the device for adequate ventilation.

What is the operating temperature range of the inverter?

The Victron Energy Inverter 12/3000 Smart can operate in an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +65°C. However, power derating applies above 40°C to maintain performance and reliability.

Which types of DC cables are recommended for connecting the inverter to the battery?

For optimal connection to a 12V battery, it is recommended to use DC cables with a cross-section of 70 mm² for lengths up to 1.5 meters, and 95 mm² for lengths between 1.5 and 3 meters. The inverter's connection terminals are M8 type.

Which DC fuse should I use to protect the inverter?

To protect the Victron Energy Inverter 12/3000 Smart inverter in a 12V system, it is strongly recommended to install a 400A DC fuse near the battery.

How should I connect the inverter to ground?

The inverter is a Class I Safety product, which means the chassis must be grounded. A grounding point is located outside the product. The ground conductor must have at least half the cross-section of the conductors used for the battery connection.

Can the inverter start inductive loads such as power tools?

Yes, the 12/3000 Smart inverter has a high starting power capacity (6000 W peak power). This allows it to start inductive loads such as power tools, LED lamp converters, or other devices requiring a high inrush current.

Which inverter parameters can be configured?

You can configure several inverter parameters, including:

Low battery voltage alarm and cut-off levelsOutput voltage and frequency (210-245 V, 50/60 Hz)ECO mode settings (activation/deactivation and detection level)

Is it possible to control the inverter remotely?

Yes, the inverter is equipped with a remote on/off connector. An external switch can be connected to this two-pin connector, or between the battery positive and the left contact of the connector, which is useful for automotive applications, for example.

Is this inverter suitable for marine use?

Yes, the Victron Energy Inverter 12/3000 Smart inverter is designed for marine and mobile environments. Its robustness, toroidal transformer topology, and integrated protections make it a reliable solution for providing AC power aboard.
