Victron Phoenix 500 VA 48 V Inverter VE.Direct converts 48 V DC battery power into clean AC output via a pure sine wave, making it ideal for telecommunications, off-grid solar systems, remote sites, small backup installations or industrial signaling loads. With integrated VE.Direct communication for monitoring and configuration, plus an ECO/standby mode to minimize idle consumption, this compact inverter is engineered to reliably power sensitive electronics, emergency loads, and essential devices even in harsh environments.
Key Features
-
Pure sine wave AC output — safe for sensitive electronics (computers, telecom gear, audio, medical)
-
500 VA continuous output rating (suitable for light to moderate loads)
-
Surge / peak capacity — supports equipment startup currents
-
VE.Direct interface — allows system monitoring, tuning, firmware updates, diagnostics
-
ECO / standby mode — reduces idle power draw during light loads
-
Selectable AC output voltage and frequency (e.g. 230 V, 50 Hz or region variant)
-
Adjustable low-voltage alarm, cut-off, restart thresholds, dynamic cut-off behavior
-
Comprehensive protection suite: overload, short circuit, under/over voltage, overtemperature
-
Compact, robust design for installation in tight or remote settings
