Phoenix VE.Direct Schuko Inverter 24V/375W

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* inverter delivers a continuous output of 375 W at 25°C. This output decreases slightly at higher temperatures, reaching 300 W at 40°C.

This inverter is designed to operate with a 24 V DC battery system. The acceptable input voltage range is 18.4 V to 34 V.

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* inverter is equipped with an AC output socket of the Schuko type (CEE 7/4), standard in continental Europe.

Yes, this inverter has a high starting power. It can provide a peak power of 600 W for 2 seconds, which is useful for starting inductive loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps, or certain power tools.

The ECO mode allows the inverter to enter standby when the connected load drops below a predefined value (minimum 15 W). Once in standby, the inverter briefly powers on (default every 2.5 seconds, adjustable) to check if the load has increased. If the load exceeds a predefined level, the inverter remains on, reducing standby consumption to just 1 W for 24 V systems.

The VE.Direct port allows monitoring several key inverter parameters, including:

Input and output voltage
Battery charge percentage
Active alarms

The inverter can operate in an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +65°C. However, it is important to note that there is a power reduction of 1.25% per degree Celsius above 40°C.

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* inverter has an IP21 protection rating. This means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and against vertically falling water droplets, making it suitable for installation in protected environments.

The inverter integrates multiple protections to ensure its reliability and the safety of your system:

Output short-circuit protection.Overheating protection, whether due to overload or high ambient temperature.Protection against excessively high or low battery voltage.Protection against excessive DC ripple.

The dimensions of the Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* inverter (model 24V/375W) are 86 mm (height) x 165 mm (width) x 260 mm (depth). Its weight is 3 kg.

Yes, the AC output voltage and frequency are fully configurable. You can adjust the output voltage between 210 V and 230 V and the frequency to 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

In ECO mode, the idle power consumption of the inverter is reduced to just 1 W for the 24 V model, saving battery power when the load is low.

The inverter housing consists of a steel chassis and a blue plastic cover (RAL 5012), providing robustness and protection.

For optimal performance, the inverter must be placed on a flat surface. It is recommended to:

Avoid any contact with water or moisture.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight.
Maintain an ambient temperature between -20°C and 40°C.
Leave at least 10 centimeters of free space around the inverter for adequate ventilation.
Mounting on base or vertical wall brackets (fan at the bottom) is acceptable, but ceiling mounting or vertical wall mounting (fan at the top) is not recommended.

Yes, a remote on/off switch can be connected to a dedicated two-pole connector on the inverter. Alternatively, the left contact of the connector can be switched to the battery positive, which is useful for automotive applications by linking it to the ignition switch.

Yes, this inverter is a Class I safety product, meaning 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.

The VE.Direct port can be connected to:

A computer (requires a VE.Direct to USB interface cable). Smartphones and tablets running Apple iOS and Android, as well as other devices (requires a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle). These connections allow full configuration of inverter settings and monitoring.

No, the specific Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* model (PIN241371200) is designed to operate exclusively with 24 V battery systems. It is not compatible with 12 V or 48 V systems.

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* inverter offers the following output power ratings:

Continuous power at 25°C: 375W
Continuous power at 40°C: 300W
Peak power (for 2 seconds): 600W
It provides an output voltage of 230V AC (adjustable from 210V to 230V) and a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz (also adjustable). This inverter is designed to power moderate loads such as electronic equipment, LED lamps, halogen lamps, or low-power electric tools.
