Detailed description

Designed for demanding environments, the Victron Energy Phoenix Smart 12/2000 230V DC/AC inverter provides a pure sine wave output. It delivers a continuous power output of 1600 W (2000 VA) at 25°C, with a peak power capacity of 4000 W suitable for inductive loads. Its full-bridge architecture with a toroidal transformer ensures reliability and stable voltage and frequency (230 VAC, 50/60 Hz configurable).

Advanced Connectivity and Configuration

This model includes built-in Bluetooth for complete configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app on smartphone or tablet. It also features a VE.Direct communication port for wired connection to a computer (using a VE.Direct to USB interface cable) or to a GX monitoring device such as the Cerbo GX for extended system integration. Parameters such as low battery voltage alarm levels, dynamic cut-off thresholds, and output voltage are fully configurable.

Efficiency and Integrated Protections

The Phoenix Smart 12/2000 230V stands out with its intelligent ECO mode, which reduces standby power consumption to 0.6 W by entering sleep mode when the load is low, and reactivates automatically after a short period (2.5 seconds, adjustable). Its maximum efficiency reaches 92%. It is protected against output short circuits, overloads, high temperatures, excessively high or low battery voltages, and excessive input voltage ripple. Unlike lower-power Phoenix VE.Direct models that require an external Bluetooth dongle, the Phoenix Smart offers integrated connectivity. Unlike the MultiPlus models from the same brand, this is a pure inverter without integrated battery charging or transfer switching functions, focusing solely on power conversion with smart monitoring capabilities.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis of the Phoenix Smart 12/2000 inverter »

The Victron Energy Phoenix Smart 12/2000 inverter is a robust option for onboard or standalone power systems requiring a reliable AC source. Its ability to deliver a pure sine wave is critical for sensitive electronic equipment aboard, whether it's navigation systems, computers, or household appliances. Its 4000 W peak power is an asset for starting inductive loads such as pumps or power tools, where less powerful inverters would fail.

The integration of Bluetooth and the VE.Direct port greatly simplifies commissioning and monitoring. The installer can precisely configure dynamic cutoff thresholds or the programmable relay for alerts or generator starts without requiring complex interfaces. This gives it a clear advantage over more basic models lacking this native connectivity. However, it is important to note that this model does not support parallel or three-phase operation, limiting it to single-phase medium-power installations. For battery charging or automatic transfer between AC sources, it must be paired with an external battery charger and a Filax transfer switch, or a MultiPlus system should be considered.

Its compact design and IP21 metal housing make it suitable for discreet wall mounting in protected compartments. The easy-access terminals simplify battery and AC cable connections, contributing to professional and rapid installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the continuous output power of this converter?

The Phoenix Smart 12/2000 230V converter delivers a continuous output power of 1600 W (2000 VA) at an ambient temperature of 25 °C.

Can this converter handle significant power spikes?

Yes, this converter is designed to handle high starting power, with a peak power capacity of 4000 W. This is required to start loads such as power inverters for LED, halogen bulbs or power tools.

What are the AC output voltage and frequency options?

The output voltage is 230 VAC ±2 %. The frequency is configurable at 50 Hz or 60 Hz ± 0.1 %.

How does the ECO mode work on the Phoenix Smart inverter/charger?

In ECO mode, the inverter/charger enters standby if the connected load drops below a preset value, reducing standby power consumption to 0.6 W. Once in standby, the inverter/charger turns on for a short period every 2.5 seconds (adjustable). If the load exceeds the preconfigured level, the inverter/charger remains on.

What is the maximum efficiency of this converter?

The maximum efficiency of the Phoenix Smart 12/2000 230V converter is 92% for the 12 V model.

What are the built-in protections for this inverter?

The inverter is protected against:

Output short-circuitsOverloadsExcessive battery voltageInsufficient battery voltageExcessive temperaturesPresence of 230 VAC on the inverter outputExcessive input voltage ripple

Can I monitor and configure the converter remotely?

Yes, the converter includes Bluetooth for full configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app on smartphone or tablet. It also has a VE.Direct port, allowing a wired connection to a computer (with a VE.Direct-USB interface cable) or to a GX monitoring device such as the Cerbo GX.

What type of connection is used for the AC 230V output?

The AC 230 V connection is made via screw terminals.

Can I turn the inverter on or off remotely?

Yes, the inverter has a remote on/off function. A remote on/off switch or relay contact can be connected to a two-pole connector. Alternatively, the H terminal (left) of the two-pole connector can be switched to the positive terminal of the battery, or the L terminal (right) can be switched to the negative terminal of the battery.

Which parameters can be configured via the VictronConnect application?

In the VictronConnect application, you can configure parameters such as:

Low battery voltage alarm
Restart and cutoff levels for low battery voltage
Dynamic cutoff (cutoff level based on load)
Output voltage (210 – 245 V)
Frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz)
ECO mode detection level and ECO mode activation/deactivation
Alarm relay

Is this converter also a battery charger?

No, the Phoenix Smart 12/2000 is a pure converter. It is a pure converter without battery charger or integrated transfer switch function, unlike the MultiPlus models from the same brand.
