Phoenix VE.Direct inverter Schuko 48V/1150W

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* inverter converts 48V DC battery power to 230V AC pure sine wave power. It can supply a wide range of household and professional equipment on board your boat or vehicle.

This inverter can provide a continuous power output of 1150W at an ambient temperature of 25°C. If the ambient temperature reaches 40°C, the continuous power output is 1000W.

The VE.Direct Schuko* inverter can deliver a peak power of 1600W for a limited duration of 15 seconds. This capacity is useful for starting inductive loads that require high current at startup.

This specific model, the VE.Direct Schuko*, is equipped with a Schuko (CEE 7/4) type output socket.

The inverter has a VE.Direct communication port. You can connect it to a computer via a VE.Direct to USB cable, or to Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, and MacBooks using a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. These accessories are required for the connection and are not included with the inverter.

You can configure several parameters, including:

Battery low voltage alarm and cutoff levels.Restart levels.Dynamic cutoff (load-dependent).Output voltage (adjustable between 210V and 230V).Frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz).ECO mode settings.

The ECO mode reduces power consumption when unloaded. When the connected load drops below a preset value (minimum 15W), the inverter switches to standby mode. It then periodically checks (default every 2.5 seconds) whether the load has increased, and powers back on if needed. Unloaded power consumption in ECO mode is 3W for the 48V model.

The VE.Direct Schuko* (model 48V) inverter has a maximum efficiency of 92%.

The inverter is protected against short circuits and overheating, whether caused by overload or high ambient temperature.

For optimal operation, the inverter must be placed on a flat surface. It must not be exposed to water, rain, direct moisture, or direct sunlight. Leave at least 10 centimeters of free space around the device for adequate ventilation. The ambient temperature must be between -20°C and 40°C (humidity < 95% without condensation).

DC connection is made via screw terminals. It is essential to use batteries with sufficient capacity and battery cables with an adequate cross-section. For the 48V/1200W model, recommended cable cross-sections are 6 mm² for lengths from 0 to 1.5 m and 10 mm² for 1.5 to 3 m.

Yes, this inverter is a Safety Class I product. 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.

No, the AC output of the inverter must never be connected to another AC source, such as a domestic wall socket or a generator. This could damage the device and create a safety hazard.

Yes, a remote on/off switch can be connected to a two-pole connector. Alternatively, the left contact of the connector can be wired to the battery positive, which is useful for automotive applications (for example, wiring it to the ignition switch).

This specific model (PIN482121200) is designed to operate with a 48V battery input voltage. The accepted input voltage range is 36.8V to 62V.

Yes, the inverter is designed with high starting power, which is essential for powering inductive loads such as LED lamp converters, halogen lamps, or power tools that require a high current at startup.

The inverter is equipped with a green LED and a red LED that indicate its operation and the status of the various protections. For example, a steady green LED indicates that the inverter is on and everything is normal, while a red LED or flashing may signal a warning or a shutdown due to a protection mechanism. The user manual provides a detailed description of these diagnostics.
