Ondulator Phoenix VE.Direct Schuko 12V/800W

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko inverter (reference PIN121801200) delivers a continuous power output of 800W at an ambient temperature of 25°C. This power output drops to 650W when the ambient temperature reaches 40°C.

This inverter is equipped with an AC output socket of Schuko type (CEE 7/4), compliant with European standards.

Yes, this inverter is designed to handle inductive loads at startup. It can provide high startup power up to 1200W for 15 seconds.

This inverter requires a 12V DC input voltage. The input voltage range is 9.2 to 17V.

Yes, the inverter includes multiple protections to ensure its reliability and safety:

Short-circuit protection.Overload protection.Overheating protection due to excessive load or high ambient temperature.High/low battery voltage protection.Excessive DC ripple protection.

The ECO mode is a configurable feature that reduces the inverter's idle power consumption. When the connected load drops below a predefined value (minimum 15W), the inverter switches to standby mode, reducing its idle consumption to just 1W. In standby mode, the inverter briefly powers back on 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 can operate within an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +65°C. It is important to note that above 40°C, the inverter's continuous power output is reduced by 1.25% per additional degree Celsius.

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko inverter has an IP21 protection rating. This means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and against vertically falling water droplets. It is suitable for protected environments.

Yes, the inverter is equipped with a VE.Direct communication port. This port enables full configuration and monitoring of the device. You can connect it to a computer via a VE.Direct to USB cable, or to smartphones, tablets, and MacBooks via a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle.

For optimal performance and trouble-free operation, the inverter must be installed on a flat surface. It is essential to avoid any contact with water, direct exposure to sunlight, and to ensure that the ambient temperature is between -20°C and 40°C (with non-condensing humidity below 95%). Leave at least 10 centimeters of free space around the inverter for adequate ventilation. In case of overheating, the inverter will shut down and restart automatically once the temperature returns to a safe level.

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

A power on/off remote control can be connected to a dedicated bipolar connector. Alternatively, the left contact of this connector can be connected to the battery's positive terminal, which is useful for automotive applications by connecting it to the ignition switch. The inverter's front switch must also be set to the 'On' or 'ECO' position for the inverter to start.

The inverter has no fuse in its AC output. The AC wiring is protected by a fast-acting current limiter in case of short circuit and by an overload detection mechanism that mimics the characteristics of a fuse (i.e., faster shutdown in case of higher overload). It is important to correctly size your wiring based on the inverter's rated power.

You can connect standard household appliances requiring 230V AC power, within the continuous power limit of 800W. This includes loads such as power inverters for LED lamps, halogen lamps, or power tools.

No, this specific model (PIN121801200) is designed to operate with a 12V DC input voltage. It is not compatible with 24V or 48V systems.

Yes, this inverter is designed for marine and mobile applications. It is built to provide reliable power for standard household appliances in these environments and complies with the ECE R10-4 automotive directive.

The VE.Direct communication port allows monitoring the battery input voltage via a computer or connected mobile device. For more advanced and detailed monitoring of the battery's state of charge, including current, consumed Ah, and remaining time, Victron Energy recommends using a BMV battery monitor (accessory not included).

Yes, for low-power inverters like this one, Victron Energy recommends using an automatic transfer switch such as the Filax. The Filax offers a very short switching time (less than 20 milliseconds), allowing computers and other electronic equipment to continue operating without interruption when switching to another AC source.
