It briefly switches on every 2.5-3 seconds to detect if a load is present, conserving battery power. Remote On/Off A two-pole connector allows for the connection of an external switch to remotely turn the inverter on or off, useful for inaccessible installations. Automatic Transfer Switch For seamless transfer between AC sources (e.g., shore power and inverter), Victron recommends the optional Filax Automatic Transfer Switch for low-power inverters, featuring a switchover time of less than 20 milliseconds. Monitoring & Alarms Monitor input/output voltage, current, and receive alarms via the VE.Direct port, providing essential system insights. Typical Applications Application Description Off-Grid Cabins & Sheds Provides reliable 230V AC power for lighting, small electronics, and charging devices where mains electricity is unavailable. Caravans, Motorhomes & Boats Converts 12V leisure battery power into household AC for comfort and convenience on the move. Backup Power for Small Loads Can be integrated into small backup systems to power essential low-wattage devices during outages. Mobile Workstations Powers laptops, chargers, and small electric tools for professionals working remotely or on job sites. Built-In Protection Functions The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12V/375W is designed with multiple safeguards to ensure safe and reliable operation. These include: Overload Protection • Short Circuit Protection • Battery Voltage Too High/Low Protection • Overheating Protection (due to overload or high ambient temperature). The robust design and intelligent alarm/restart features contribute to its long-term reliability. Common Questions What kind of battery does this inverter work with? This Victron Phoenix Inverter is designed for 12V DC battery systems. It is compatible with various 12V leisure or automotive batteries, including lead-acid (GEL, AGM, Flooded) and Lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries, provided the battery's discharge capabilities meet the inverter's requirements. Can I monitor and configure the inverter remotely? Yes, the inverter features a VE.Direct communication port. You can connect it to a computer using a VE.Direct to USB interface cable, or to Apple/Android smartphones, tablets, and MacBooks using an optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. This allows for monitoring of in- and output voltage, current, alarms, and configuration of various settings via the VictronConnect app. What is ECO mode and how does it save power? ECO mode is an energy-saving feature. When the load connected to the inverter drops below a preset value (e.g., 15W), the inverter switches to a low-power standby ("search") state. It then periodically (default: every 2.5-3 seconds) sends out a brief pulse to check for a load. If a load is detected above a preset level, the inverter fully activates. This significantly reduces no-load power consumption. Is this inverter suitable for powering sensitive electronics? Absolutely. The Victron Phoenix Inverter produces a pure sine wave output, which is identical to or often better than mains electricity. This ensures that sensitive electronics like laptops, medical equipment, and audio-visual devices operate smoothly without risk of damage or interference, unlike modified sine wave inverters. Installation Notes Ensure the inverter is installed in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and moisture, with adequate clearance for cooling. Connect the inverter as close as possible to the battery bank using appropriately sized DC cabling to minimise voltage drop and maximise efficiency. Always use correctly rated fuses or circuit breakers on the DC input side to protect against overcurrent. For safety, ensure proper grounding of the inverter and the entire electrical system according to local regulations. Installation should ideally be performed by a qualified professional to ensure compliance with all electrical standards. Before You Buy Verify the total power consumption (in Watts) of all devices you intend to run simultaneously to ensure it does not exceed the inverter's continuous power rating (300W). Consider the peak/surge power requirements of any motor-driven appliances (e.g., refrigerators, power tools) as these can be significantly higher than their continuous rating. This inverter offers 700W peak power. Confirm your battery bank voltage is 12V DC to match this inverter's input requirements. If remote monitoring or configuration via Bluetooth is desired, remember to purchase the optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle separately. Consult the product manual for detailed wiring diagrams and safety instructions specific to your application. Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing system components before purchase. All technical data is based on manufacturer specifications and may be subject to change.
