Ispravljač Phoenix VE.Direct Schuko 12V/1450W

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko inverter, model PIN122161200, is a DC-to-AC power converter from the VE.Direct series. It is designed to provide a stable 230V AC output from a 12V DC battery source, with a Schuko-type output socket.

This inverter can supply a continuous power of 1450W at an ambient temperature of 25°C. If the ambient temperature reaches 40°C, the continuous power is 1300W.

The inverter can deliver a peak power of up to 2100W for a maximum duration of 15 seconds. This capacity is useful for starting loads with high inrush current, such as certain power tools or power converters.

This inverter is equipped with a Schuko (CEE 7/4) AC output socket, standard in continental Europe.

The AC output voltage is 230VAC +/- 3%. The output frequency is configurable at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, with an accuracy of +/- 0.1%.

Yes, the inverter includes an ECO mode. In this mode, the inverter enters standby when the connected load drops below a predefined value (minimum load of 15W). It then briefly reactivates at regular intervals (default every 2.5 seconds, adjustable) to check if the load has increased. If the load exceeds a predefined level, the inverter remains powered on.

The inverter includes multiple protections to ensure reliability and system safety:

Short-circuit protection on outputOverload protectionOver-voltage protection (high battery voltage)Under-voltage protection (low battery voltage)Over-temperature protectionExcessive DC ripple protection

Yes, the inverter has a VE.Direct communication port. It can be connected to a computer via a VE.Direct to USB interface cable, or to smartphones, tablets, and MacBooks (Apple and Android) via a VE.Direct Smart Bluetooth dongle. This connectivity enables remote monitoring and configuration.

Via the VE.Direct port, you can configure several parameters, including:

Battery low voltage alarm and reset levelsBattery low voltage cut-off and restart levels (including dynamic cut-off)AC output voltage (range 210 to 245V)Output frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz)ECO mode settings (enable/disable and detection level)

The maximum efficiency of this 12V inverter is 91%. This indicates very efficient power conversion, minimizing energy losses.

The inverter can operate within an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +65°C. It is equipped with a fan-assisted cooling system. It is important to note that a power derating of 1.25% per °C is applied above 40°C.

For optimal performance, the inverter must be installed on a flat surface. Recommended mounting options are:

On a base (flat mounting)On a vertical wall, with the fan at the bottomOn a horizontal wallIt is not recommended to mount it on the ceiling (inverted) or on a vertical wall with the fan at the top.

To ensure proper operation and prevent overheating, it is essential to leave a clearance of at least 10 centimeters around the inverter to allow adequate air circulation. Ventilation vents must not be obstructed. The inverter will shut down automatically in case of overheating and will restart once the temperature returns to a safe level.

For optimal connection of a 12V/1600W inverter to the battery, the recommended DC cable cross-section is 50 mm², regardless of cable length between 0 and 1.5 meters, or between 1.5 and 3 meters.

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

A remote on/off switch can be connected to a dedicated two-pole connector on the inverter. Alternatively, the left contact of this connector can be wired to the battery positive, which is useful for automotive applications, for example, by connecting it to the ignition switch. Note that the inverter's front switch must also be set to 'On' or 'ECO' for the device to start.

Reversed polarity on the battery cables will blow the internal fuse and may damage the inverter. Although the internal fuse on this model is replaceable, it is critical to observe the correct polarity to avoid damage.

This inverter is designed to power a wide range of equipment requiring a 230V AC power supply. Thanks to its high starting power, it can handle loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps, and various power tools that may have a high inrush current at startup.
