Victron Inverter 12/1200 VE.Direct IEC – Reliable 230 Volt Power from 12 V
The Victron Inverter 12/1200 VE.Direct IEC converts 12 V DC to 230 V AC as a pure sine wave – ideal for sensitive electronics and many everyday appliances. With 1200 VA (approx. 1000 W continuous power at 25 °C) and an IEC-320 cold device socket, you get a compact, proven solution for your motorhome, boat, workshop, or off-grid operation. Via VE.Direct, you can conveniently configure and monitor the inverter using an app or computer.
VE.Direct – Connect, Configure, Monitor
The integrated VE.Direct communication port makes the inverter particularly flexible: With the right interface, you can use it with a computer (VE.Direct to USB) or via smartphone/tablet (VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart Dongle). This allows you to set parameters, read values, and detect alarms early.
Individual Settings – Suited to Your Battery and Your Setup
You can adapt the operation to your power supply: for example, alarms for low battery status, thresholds for shutdown/restart in case of undervoltage, and dynamic shutdown depending on the load. The output voltage (210–245 V) and the mains frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) can also be adjusted. For maximum efficiency, the ECO mode is also available.
Everything at a Glance – Clear Readings and Diagnostics
For daily monitoring, you can see, among other things, input and output voltage, load in %, and alarm messages. Additionally, LED diagnostics help in quickly assessing the status – details can be found in the manual.
Proven Victron Reliability – Including Protection
The combination of full bridging and ring transformer topology stands for robust practical quality. The inverter is short-circuit proof and protects itself against overheating, for example, in case of overload or high ambient temperatures.
High Surge Power – When Devices Need More Starting Power
Many consumers briefly draw significantly more power when switched on. The Victron Inverter is designed for this and typically reliably powers even more demanding loads such as LED and halogen lamps or power tools.
ECO Mode – Less Standby Consumption, More Runtime
In ECO mode, the inverter switches to standby as soon as the load falls below a defined value. If the load increases again, it starts automatically. This is particularly practical if you want to get as much usable energy as possible from a battery.
Convenience: Remote On/Off Switching
For everyday use in a vehicle or in a technical compartment, remote on/off switching is ideal. This allows you to place the switch where you need it – without having to go to the device every time.
Seamless Switching Between Power Sources (Optional)
If you want to switch between two AC sources, an automatic transfer switch like the Filax Automatic Transfer Switch is recommended. This allows for particularly fast switching, so many devices continue to run without you having to restart them.
