Victron Inverter 12/1600 VE.Direct Schuko

Victron Inverter 12/1600 VE.Direct Schuko – Powerful, efficient & smartly connected

The Victron Inverter 12/1600 VE.Direct Schuko is a compact, efficient inverter that reliably converts direct current (DC) from your 12V battery into clean 230V alternating current. This allows you to safely and efficiently operate your household appliances even when on the go or in off-grid operation – with the renowned quality of Victron Energy.

Stable performance & high efficiency

With 1600 VA (approx. 1200 W) continuous power, the inverter offers enough power for most consumers in motorhomes, boats, or in autonomous systems. Thanks to the high peak factor of 3:1, even devices with high inrush current (e.g., refrigerator or pump) can be operated without problems. The efficiency is up to 93%, while the integrated ECO mode significantly reduces self-consumption in idle mode.

Smart control & monitoring

The inverter can be connected to a computer, smartphone, or tablet via the VE.Direct communication port. This allows you to monitor all relevant parameters in real time – for example, input voltage, output power, frequency, temperature, or alarms. With the free VictronConnect App (available for Android, iOS, Windows & macOS), you have full control over settings, ECO mode, and system diagnostics – wirelessly via Bluetooth (with optional Smart Dongle).

Sophisticated protection functions

• Reverse polarity protection (DC input)
• Over-temperature & overload protection
• Automatic shutdown at low voltage
• Audible warning alarm

Flexible application & installation

With its robust screw terminals (M8) and the Schuko output socket, the inverter can be installed easily and securely – without special tools. It is ideal for mobile applications, stationary energy systems, and emergency power solutions. The inverter operates reliably in a temperature range of –40 °C to +65 °C and is designed for continuous operation.
