Detailed description

The Victron Energy Phoenix 12/250-15 IEC 230V inverter converts DC power from your battery to stable 230 V AC. With a continuous power output of 250 VA (200 W) at 25 °C and a peak power of 400 W, it powers various AC loads aboard. Its 12 V battery system input voltage range of 9.2 to 17 V ensures compatibility with 12 V battery systems. Output voltage and frequency are adjustable (210–245 V and 50/60 Hz ±0.1 %), providing operational flexibility.

Advanced features and energy management

This inverter includes energy management features such as an ECO mode that reduces no-load consumption to 0.8 W (default for the 12 V model) and temperature compensation for charging voltages via an optional sensor (Quattro, MultiPlus, GX device or Smart Battery Sense). It is protected against output short circuits, high or low battery voltages, excessive temperatures, and high DC ripple. Monitoring and configuration are performed via the VictronConnect app using Bluetooth connectivity and the VE.Direct port. A 3-way switch (ON/OFF/ECO) simplifies operation.

Integration and technical specifications

With a maximum efficiency of 87 % and a no-load consumption of 4.2 W (12 V model), the Phoenix 12/250-15 inverter is suitable for marine installations. It supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 60 °C, with fan-assisted cooling and power derating above 40 °C. The IP21 protection rating makes it suitable for sheltered environments. Its compact dimensions of 86 x 165 x 260 mm and weight of 2.4 kg facilitate integration. The inverter is supplied with an IEC-320 male plug.

« Technical analysis: Phoenix 12/250-15 inverter for marine systems »

The Victron Energy Phoenix 12/250-15 IEC 230V inverter is a key component for small embedded electrical systems, particularly on sailboats or motorhomes. It allows powering standard household equipment (LED lights, small electric tools, chargers) from a 12 V battery bank. Its value lies in providing a reliable AC power source without requiring a generator, with adjustable output voltage and frequency settings.

For installation, it is critical to follow the recommended battery cable cross-sections (see Victron Energy’s 'Wiring Unlimited' documentation for details) and to use an appropriate DC fuse (see Victron Energy documentation for details). The IP21 protection rating means it must be mounted in a dry, sheltered location, protected from direct water spray. Bluetooth connectivity and the VE.Direct port are major advantages for remote monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app, simplifying diagnostics and optimization of settings such as ECO mode or battery cut-off thresholds.

This model is particularly suited for applications requiring moderate power and high efficiency. It stands out for its intelligent energy management and ability to integrate into a Victron ecosystem via the VE.Smart network for battery temperature compensation. It is ideal for users seeking a compact and configurable solution, but it is not rated for heavy or continuous inductive loads beyond its nominal power.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the main function of the Phoenix 12/250-15 IEC 230V inverter?

The Phoenix 12/250-15 IEC 230V inverter converts the direct current (DC) from your house battery into stable 230 V alternating current (AC), allowing you to power various electrical devices on board your boat or vehicle. It also includes solar charger functionality.

What is the continuous power and peak power of this inverter?

This inverter delivers a continuous output of 250 VA (i.e. 200 W) at 25 °C and 175 W at 40 °C. Its peak power is 400 W, allowing it to handle start-ups of devices requiring higher current.

What are the physical dimensions and weight of the Phoenix 12/250-15 inverter?

The inverter dimensions are 86 mm (height) x 165 mm (width) x 260 mm (depth). It weighs 2.4 kg.

What type of AC socket is built into the inverter?

The inverter is equipped with a standard IEC-320 AC outlet. An IEC-320 male plug is included with the product.

Does the inverter have an ECO mode to save energy?

Yes, the inverter has an ECO mode that reduces standby power consumption. In default ECO mode, consumption is 0.8 W for the 12 V model, which optimizes battery autonomy.

What is the maximum efficiency of this inverter?

The Phoenix 12/250-15 IEC 230V inverter delivers a maximum efficiency of 87%.

What are the built-in protections in the inverter?
