Detailed description

Designed for demanding marine and professional applications, the Victron Energy Phoenix Compact 12V 2000VA inverter (reference CIN122200000) provides pure sine wave power and high start-up capacity. This model is part of the Phoenix Compact range, known for its robustness and efficiency.

SinusMax Technology and Peak Power

The integrated Victron Energy Phoenix Compact 12V 2000VA SinusMax technology delivers a peak power of 4000W. This performance enables the start-up of high inrush current devices such as refrigeration compressors or electric motors, a capability that conventional high-frequency technologies generally do not achieve with the same efficiency. The inverter provides a continuous output power of 2000VA (1600W) at 25°C, with a maximum efficiency of 92%.

VE.Bus Connectivity and Scalability

Unlike the Victron Energy Inverter Smart range, which does not support parallel operation, this Phoenix Compact model features a VE.Bus port. This allows it to operate in parallel with up to six identical units for increased output power, or to be configured in three-phase mode, offering significant flexibility for scalable systems. The VE.Bus port also facilitates customization of parameters such as output voltage and frequency, or over/under-voltage thresholds, via the MK3-USB interface and VictronConnect or VEConfigure software. A programmable relay is included, configurable for various alarms or the start-up of a generator set. For remote monitoring and control, it can be connected to a GX device, such as a Cerbo GX. It is important to note that, unlike the MultiPlus or Quattro models, the Phoenix Compact is a dedicated inverter and does not include an integrated battery charger or automatic transfer switch.

Design and Protection

The inverter’s housing is made of blue aluminum (RAL 5012) with IP21 protection. Its dimensions are 520 mm (H) x 255 mm (W) x 125 mm (D), and it weighs 12 kg. The hybrid HF design contributes to compact dimensions and reduced weight while ensuring compatibility with a wide range of powered devices.

Expert opinion

« Phoenix Compact 2000VA: Marine performance and scalability via VE.Bus »

The Victron Energy Phoenix Compact 12V 2000VA inverter is a robust solution for marine and mobile installations requiring reliable, high-quality AC power. Ideal for mid-sized sailboats, motorboats, and recreational vehicles, it efficiently powers energy-intensive appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves, or cordless power tools thanks to its SinusMax technology and 4000W peak power.

Installation requires careful attention to battery cable sizing: for 12V and 2000VA, 70mm² cross-sections are recommended for lengths up to 6 meters to minimize losses and ensure system stability. It must be mounted in a dry, well-ventilated environment, preferably vertically to optimize cooling, and close to the batteries. Connection via the VE.Bus port enables deep integration into a Victron Energy ecosystem, providing fine control of parameters via a PC or GX device, a major advantage for complex systems.

This model stands out from the Inverter Smart range with its ability to operate in parallel and three-phase mode, an essential feature for applications requiring higher power or a specific network configuration. However, it lacks integrated Bluetooth connectivity. It also serves as an alternative to MultiPlus or Quattro charger-inverters when a dedicated inverter is sufficient and charge or automatic transfer switch functions are either not required or managed by other equipment.

It is important to note that the Phoenix Compact does not include a battery charger or automatic transfer switch. If these functions are required, an alternative such as a MultiPlus or an external transfer switch (e.g., the Filax for low power applications) should be considered.
