Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Phoenix C 12V 1600VA C 12/1600 is a professional-grade 12 V inverter that converts the energy from your battery bank into 230 V pure sine wave. Its SinusMax design provides superior start-up capacity and high efficiency, maintaining a compact size and the reliability that characterizes Victron Energy.
Main Features
- Continuous power: 1600 VA (≈1300 W at 25 °C) with a peak of 3000 W for motors, pumps, and compressors.
- DC input 12 V: 9.5–17 V; output 230 V ±2 %, 50/60 Hz configurable.
- Maximum efficiency of approximately 92 % with AES and Search power-saving modes to reduce standby consumption to ~2–5 W.
- Comprehensive protections: battery undervoltage/overvoltage, overload, short circuit, overtemperature, and 230 V output detection.
- Professional construction: aluminum housing, IP21, active ventilation, and wide thermal operating range.
- Remote on/off and compatibility with the Victron ecosystem for diagnostics and control.
Advantages or Benefits
- Pure sine wave for full compatibility with sensitive electronic equipment, appliances, and tools.
- High peak margin prevents dropouts or restarts when starting demanding inductive loads.
- Lower battery consumption during standby periods thanks to AES/Search modes.
- Quick installation in vehicles, boats, or technical cabins due to its compact format and accessible connections.
- High durability and support from a leading manufacturer in off-grid solutions.
Purpose or Applications
Recommended for advanced campers, workshop vans, medium-length boats, telecom, portable tools, professional lighting, and backup of critical loads in isolated homes with 12 V systems.
