Victron Energy Pure Sine Wave Smart Phoenix Inverter 12/1600 – PIN122161000

Powerful Off-Grid Performance:

The Victron Energy Pure Sine Wave Smart Phoenix Inverter 12/1600 converts 12V DC power from your leisure batteries into a continuous 230V AC power supply, providing up to 1600VA for off-grid applications like campervans, boats, and tiny houses.


Smart Connectivity for Monitoring:

Equipped with built-in Bluetooth and smart connectivity, the 1600VA inverter allows you to monitor its performance and settings through the Victron Connect app. Enjoy real-time insights, programmable alarms, and cut-offs, ensuring efficient and secure operation.


Versatile Use Cases:

Ideal for off-grid electrical systems in campervans, motorhomes, RVs, boats, and tiny houses, the 1600VA Phoenix inverter is suitable for powering mains appliances with a total wattage of 1600VA or less.


Pure Sine Wave Technology:

As a pure sine wave inverter, it precisely reproduces the 230V AC waveform found in household mains sockets. This ensures compatibility with all 230V appliances, offering a reliable power source without the risk of damage or malfunctions.


Proven Reliability and Safety Features:

Victron inverters boast short circuit protection and defence against overheating, providing reliability under various conditions. The inverter includes a range of safety features, such as low battery voltage alarms, cut-offs, and restart levels, ensuring the longevity of your battery system.


High Start-Up Power and ECO Mode:

The inverter supports high start-up power, crucial for devices like power converters, LED lamps, halogen lamps, or electric tools. The ECO mode optimizes power consumption by switching to standby during low loads, contributing to energy efficiency when the inverter is not in active use.


Remote Control Convenience:

Connect a remote on/off switch to the Victron Phoenix inverter for convenient control, allowing you to turn off the inverter from a designated control panel rather than using the on/off switch on the unit itself.
