Przetwornica Phoenix Smart 12/500VA 230V Schuko firmy Victron Energy

The Phoenix Smart 12/500VA 230V Schuko inverter delivers a continuous output of 500 VA, equivalent to 400 W at an ambient temperature of 25°C. At 40°C, the continuous output is 350 W. It can also handle a peak power of up to 900 W for starting demanding loads.

This converter is designed for a 12 V DC input voltage with an operating range of 9.2 V to 17 V. The output voltage is 230 V AC, and it is adjustable between 210 V and 245 V.

The ECO mode is an energy-saving feature that puts the inverter into standby when the connected load drops below a predefined value (default: 15 W). In standby mode, the inverter briefly turns on every 2.5 seconds (adjustable interval) to detect if the load has increased. If the load exceeds the preconfigured level, the inverter remains on to power the devices.

Yes, the inverter is equipped with a VE.Direct communication port. This port enables detailed monitoring and configuration via:

A computer, using a VE.Direct-USB interface cable (not included).Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, MacBooks, or other devices, using a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart electronic key (not included).You can then adjust parameters such as low battery alarm and cutoff thresholds, output voltage and frequency, as well as ECO mode settings.

The Phoenix Smart 12/500VA inverter integrates multiple protections to ensure the safety and durability of the device and your installation:

Output short-circuit protection.Overload protection.High battery voltage protection.Low battery voltage protection.Excessive temperature protection.High DC ripple protection.

This specific model of the Phoenix Smart 12/500VA inverter is equipped with a Schuko (CEE 7/4) AC output socket, commonly used in continental Europe.

The Phoenix Smart 12/500VA inverter/charger delivers up to 90% efficiency. This high efficiency ensures optimized power conversion, minimizing losses and maximizing battery autonomy.

For optimal performance and long service life, installation must meet the following conditions:

Surface: Mount the converter on a flat surface.Environment: Avoid any contact with water and do not expose it to direct sunlight.Temperature: Ambient temperature must be between -20 °C and 40 °C (humidity below 95 % without condensation).Ventilation: Leave at least 10 centimeters of clearance around the converter to ensure adequate airflow.Recommended mounting options include base mounting, vertical wall mounting (fan at the bottom), and horizontal wall mounting.

The battery connection is made via screw terminals, which requires no specific tools for installation. It is crucial to respect polarity when connecting. Reversed battery wire connections can damage the inverter and blow the internal fuse.

For the Phoenix Smart 12/500VA inverter, the recommended minimum battery capacity is 60 Ah to ensure stable operation and fully utilize the product's capacity.

Yes, the converter is equipped with a two-pole connector for remote on/off switching. You can connect an external switch or link the left contact of the connector to the positive pole of the battery, which is useful for automotive applications (e.g., via the ignition contact).

Yes, the output frequency of the inverter is fully configurable. You can set it to 50 Hz or 60 Hz depending on your specific requirements and your devices' specifications.

Yes, the AC output voltage is configurable. You can adjust it within a range from 210 V to 245 V to match your equipment requirements or local standards.

The Phoenix Smart 12/500VA inverter is equipped with internal fuses (3 x 35 A ATOF type 32 V). However, these fuses are not user-replaceable. In case of a fuse issue, the device must be returned to a qualified service center.

The converter has the following dimensions:

Height: 86 mmWidth: 172 mmDepth: 275 mmIts weight is approximately 3.9 kg.

Yes, the Victron Energy Phoenix Smart 12/500VA inverter is a pure sine wave inverter. This technology provides high-quality power, identical to that of the public grid, making it compatible with all electronic devices, including sensitive equipment such as computers, televisions, or power tools.

To automatically switch the load to another AC source (such as the grid or a generator), Victron Energy recommends using the Filax automatic transfer switch. The Filax provides a very fast switching time (less than 20 milliseconds), allowing computers and other electronic equipment to operate without interruption.

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