The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/500 is a compact, reliable pure sine wave inverter designed to convert 12V battery power into clean 230V AC. Perfect for 4WD touring, RVs, caravans, boats, tiny homes and off-grid setups, it allows you to safely run sensitive household appliances wherever your adventures take you.

Proven Durability and Safety

Built using full bridge + toroidal transformer topology, the Phoenix Inverter is engineered for long-term reliability. It includes comprehensive protections against:

• Short-circuiting

• Overheating (due to overload or high ambient temperature)

• Low battery voltage

• High DC input voltage

This makes it a dependable choice for harsh 4WD, marine, and off-grid environments.

High Start-Up Power

The Phoenix Inverter 12/500 delivers high surge capability, allowing it to start demanding loads such as:

• Power converters

• Small tools

• Lights and electronics

• Appliances with higher inrush currents (LED drivers, small pumps, etc.)

Intelligent ECO Mode

In ECO Mode, the inverter significantly reduces consumption when loads are minimal.
It will:

• Switch to standby when power draw is low

• Automatically wake up when the load increases

The activation/deactivation thresholds can be customised to your system needs.

LED Panel & Operation

A clear LED indicator panel shows operational status, error conditions, low battery warnings, overload conditions, and more. For full diagnostic detail, refer to the user manual.

Use the remote on/off terminals to control the inverter from a switch, panel, or battery management system — ideal for concealed or hard-to-reach installations.

Easy Installation

With large screw terminals for DC input, installation is simple and requires no special tools.
The Phoenix range is designed for clean wiring and secure mounting in a variety of installations.

Advanced VE.Direct Communication Port

The built-in VE.Direct port allows easy connection to external monitoring devices, including:

• Computers (with the VE.Direct to USB cable)

• iOS/Android devices (with the VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart Dongle)

• Victron GX devices (Cerbo GX, Color Control GX, etc.)

This enables detailed configuration and constant monitoring. You can shop the Victron VE.Direct BT Smart Dongle Here.
