Invertor Phoenix VE.Direct Schuko 12V/1150W

The Victron Energy VE.Direct Schuko inverter delivers a continuous output power 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 (CEE 7/4) type, a standard commonly used in Europe.

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

Short-circuit protection on the output.Overload protection.High or low battery voltage protection.Protection against excessive ambient temperature.Protection against excessive DC ripple.

Yes, it is equipped with an ECO mode. In this mode, the inverter goes into standby when the load drops below a predefined value (minimum 15W), thus reducing standby power 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%) depending on 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 various protections.

Yes, it is mandatory to ground the inverter chassis, as it is a Safety Class I product. A grounding point is located on the outside of the product. The grounding 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, an on/off remote switch can be connected to a two-pole connector. It is also possible to switch the left contact of this connector to the battery positive, 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 reverse 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 running Apple iOS and Android, using a Bluetooth Smart VE.Direct 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 PIN122121210 inverter model is a 12V model. It supports a DC input voltage range from 9.2 to 17 V.

No, it is strictly forbidden to connect the inverter's output to another AC source, such as a household 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 allows communication with these devices, providing detailed information on battery state of charge and performance.
