Fazės keitiklis Phoenix VE.Direct Schuko 12V/250W

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* converter (reference PIN121251200) is designed to convert a 12 V DC voltage, typically from a battery, into a 230 V AC voltage with a pure sine wave. It allows standard electrical devices to be powered from a DC energy source.

This converter provides a continuous output power of 250 W when the ambient temperature is 25 °C. This power is reduced to 200 W at an ambient temperature of 40 °C.

Yes, this converter has a high startup capacity. It can provide a peak power of 400 W for 2 seconds, which is sufficient to start inductive loads such as certain power tools or LED lamps.

The AC output voltage is 230 VAC +/- 3%. The output frequency is 50 Hz or 60 Hz +/- 0.1%. These parameters are fully user-configurable.

Yes, the converter includes multiple protections to ensure the safety and durability of the device and your installation. These include protections against:

Output short circuitsOverloadsExcessively high battery voltagesExcessively low battery voltagesExcessive temperaturesExcessively high DC ripple

ECO mode is an energy-saving feature. When this mode is enabled, the inverter switches to standby if the connected load drops below a predefined value (default minimum load is 15 W). In standby mode, no-load consumption is reduced to 1 W (default). The inverter briefly powers back on (default every 2.5 seconds) to check if the load has increased. If the load exceeds the predefined level, the inverter remains on.

The converter is equipped with a VE.Direct port for full configuration. It can be connected to a computer via a VE.Direct to USB interface cable (not included) or to Apple and Android smartphones and tablets using a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle (not included). This allows adjustment of parameters such as low battery alarm and cutoff levels, output voltage and frequency, and ECO mode settings.

VE.Direct connectivity allows remote monitoring and configuration of your inverter. It provides access to data such as input and output voltage, charge percentage, and alarms. Additionally, it enables advanced settings customization to optimize inverter operation based on your specific requirements.

The idle power consumption of this inverter is 5 W in normal operation. In ECO mode, the default idle consumption is reduced to 1 W when the inverter is in standby.

The converter can operate within a temperature range from -40 °C to +65 °C. It features fan-assisted cooling. Note that above 40 °C, a power reduction of 1.25% per degree Celsius applies.

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

Yes, the Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* inverter produces a pure sine wave. This ensures connected devices operate optimally and without risk of damage, even for sensitive electronics.

For optimal performance, the converter must be installed on a flat surface. It is recommended to mount it at the base or vertically on a wall with the fan at the bottom. Ensure at least 10 centimeters of free space around the device for adequate ventilation. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, humidity, rain, and dusty or explosive environments. The ambient temperature must be between -20 °C and 40 °C.

For optimal performance, it is essential to use batteries with sufficient capacity and DC cables with an adequate cross-section. The inverter is equipped with screw terminals for battery connection. It is recommended not to exceed a DC cable length of 3 meters to minimize losses.

Yes, this converter (model 12/250) is equipped with two internal 30 A DC fuses (type ATOF 32 V). However, these fuses are not user-replaceable. Reverse polarity when connecting the battery can blow these fuses and damage the converter.

For the 12/250 model, the recommended DC cable cross-sections depend on the length:

For a cable length of 0 to 1.5 meters, a 4 mm² cross-section is recommended.For a cable length of 1.5 to 3 meters, a 6 mm² cross-section is recommended.The maximum cable cross-section that the screw terminals can accommodate is 10 mm².

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

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

For the Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko* converter (model 12/250), the minimum recommended battery capacity is 30 Ah. Using a battery with a lower capacity may affect the performance or lifespan of the battery and the converter.

To configure the converter via a computer, you will need a VE.Direct to USB interface cable. For wireless configuration via an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet, a VE.Direct Smart Bluetooth dongle is required. These accessories are not included with the converter and must be purchased separately.
