Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko inverter 12V/1150W

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko inverter provides a continuous power output of 1150W at 25°C and 1000W at 40°C. These values ensure stable power supply for your equipment.

Yes, this inverter is designed to handle startup surges. It can provide a peak power of 1600W for 15 seconds, which is sufficient to start inductive loads such as power tools or power converters for lamps.

This inverter is equipped with an AC output socket of the Schuko type (CEE 7/4), a standard commonly used in Europe.

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

Output short-circuit protection.Overload protection.High or low battery voltage protection.High ambient temperature protection.Excessive DC ripple protection.

Yes, it is equipped with an ECO mode. In this mode, the inverter switches to standby when the load drops below a predefined value (minimum 15W), thus reducing standby consumption to just 1W (for the 12V version). It briefly powers back on every 2.5 seconds (adjustable interval) to check if the load has increased.

The inverter can operate within an extended temperature range from -40°C to +65°C. It is important to note that its power output is reduced by 1.25% per degree Celsius above 40°C.

The AC output voltage is 230VAC +/- 3%. The frequency can be set to 50 Hz or 60 Hz (+/- 0.1%) according to your requirements.

The inverter allows monitoring of input and output voltage, charge percentage, and alarms. It also features diagnostic LEDs to indicate its operation and the status of the various protections.

Yes, it is imperative to ground the inverter's chassis, as this is a Safety Class I product. 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 inverter must be installed on a flat surface in a protected environment, as it has an IP21 protection rating. It is recommended to mount it at the base, vertically with the fan at the bottom, or horizontally on a wall. Avoid any contact with water, direct exposure to sunlight, and ensure at least 10 centimeters of free space around the device for adequate ventilation.

The inverter is equipped with an internal DC fuse (200A for the 12/1200 model). If the DC cable length exceeds 1.5 meters, an additional fuse or DC circuit breaker must be installed near the battery for enhanced protection.

Yes, a remote on/off switch can be connected to a two-pole connector. It is also possible to switch the left contact of this connector to the positive terminal of the battery, which is particularly useful for automotive applications (for example, by connecting it to the ignition switch).

It is crucial to respect polarity when connecting the battery cables. A reversed polarity connection will blow the internal fuse and may cause irreversible damage to the inverter.

The inverter can be configured and monitored in several ways:

Via a computer, using a VE.Direct to USB interface cable (sold separately). Via smartphones and tablets (Apple and Android), using a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle (sold separately).

Yes, the inverter is compatible with automatic transfer systems. For low-power inverters, Victron Energy recommends the Filax automatic transfer switch. The Filax offers a very short switching time (less than 20 milliseconds), allowing electronic equipment to operate without interruption when switching from one AC source to another.

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko inverter model PIN122121210 is a 12V model. It supports an input DC voltage range of 9.2 to 17 V.

No, it is strictly forbidden to connect the inverter output to another AC source, such as a domestic wall outlet or a generator. This could seriously damage the device and pose a safety hazard.

Yes, the inverter can be used in conjunction with Victron battery monitors, such as the BMV Battery Monitor. The VE.Direct port enables communication with these devices, providing detailed information on battery charge status and performance.
