VICTRON ENERGY-Phoenix Inverter 12/500 120V VE.Direct NEMA 5-15R

NOTE: This inverter is a stand-alone unit. It can NOT be stacked with additional inverters. The only Victron inverters that can be stacked are the VE.BUS models.

Developed for professional duty, the Phoenix inverters range is suitable for the widest range of applications. The design criteria have been to produce a true sine wave inverter with optimized efficiency but without compromise any performance. Resulting in a top quality product with compact dimensions, light in weight and capable of supplying power, problem free, to any load.

This inverters allow you to power domestic equipment - requiring 120V AC - using 'leisure' or 'automotive' batteries rated at 12V DC.

The Phoenix inverter with VE.Direct allow for communication from a computer with the the VE.Direct cable or a smartphone and tablet using the VE.Direct Bluetooth Samrt dongle. This gives you the able to fully configure the inverter to your needs. Proven reliability with the full bridge with toroidal transformer topology to provide reliable power over many years.

The difference here between an inverter’s specified VA rating and Watt rating is referencing power factor and crest ratio both of which can affect the apparent power vs the actual power and peak wave form vs RMS on the inverter. Most inverter manufactures derate their specified inverter watt output to account for loads with poor power factor and wave distortion.
