Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Phoenix C 12V 1200VA C 12/1200 inverter provides 230 V pure sine wave power from 12 V systems in a compact and reliable format. Its SinusMax technology, high efficiency, and large peak capacity make it a professional solution for recreational vehicles, boats, small off-grid installations, or as backup for critical equipment.
Main Features
- Continuous power: 1200 VA (1000 W at 25 °C) with a peak of 2400 W for demanding start-up loads (motors, compressors, refrigerators).
- 12 V input range: 9.5–17 V DC, stabilized output 230 V ±2 %, 50/60 Hz selectable.
- Maximum efficiency: approximately 92%, with AES/Search modes to reduce standby consumption to ~2–5 W.
- Integrated protections: overload, short circuit, battery overvoltage and undervoltage, high temperature, and 230 V output detection.
- Robust design: aluminum with IP21 protection, forced ventilation, and thermal range -40 °C to +65 °C.
- Remote on/off and monitoring capability via Victron accessories (see compatibilities).
Advantages or Benefits
- Pure sine wave for quiet and safe operation of sensitive equipment (IT, audio, electronic tools).
- High start-up power to activate inductive loads without tripping or voltage drops.
- Ultra-low standby consumption thanks to AES/Search modes, ideal for maximizing battery autonomy.
- Simple installation and minimal maintenance due to its compact format and clear connections.
- Proven reliability from Victron Energy and compatibility with the monitoring ecosystem.
Purpose or Applications
Perfect for caravans and campers, recreational boats, site cabins, small shelters, telecom and security systems, as well as occasional domestic backup of essential loads in 12 V systems.
