Description

Need reliable power for your van build? The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/250 230V VE.Direct AU/NZ Outlet converts 12V battery power into clean 230V AC, perfect for running small everyday loads in your campervan conversion. Built tough for off-grid use, it delivers consistent performance whether you are charging devices, running lighting, or keeping your essentials going while on the road.

Benefits:

• Pure sine wave output keeps sensitive gear safe and steady

• VE.Direct connectivity lets you monitor settings via USB or Bluetooth

• ECO mode saves energy when your load drops, extending battery life

• Handles the high start-up load of LED power converters

• Ideal for campervan conversion setups needing reliable off-grid power

Features:

The Phoenix Inverter 12/250 is designed with a full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology, making it robust and durable against short circuits and overheating. With a 230V pure sine wave output, it provides safe and clean power for everything from laptops and phone chargers to LED lighting. Output is 250VA, which is 200W continuous with 400W peak, so keep your total load under 200W. ECO mode automatically drops the inverter into standby when demand is low, saving precious energy on the road. Remote On/Off capability gives you easy control, while the VE.Direct port connects to your phone or laptop for real-time monitoring of voltage, alarms, and energy use. Compatible with Victron's Automatic Transfer Switch, it seamlessly shifts loads to another AC source when needed, making it a dependable partner for both off-grid adventures and backup power.

People are asking

What can I run from the Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/250?

The 12/250 suits small loads: phone and laptop chargers, LED lighting, small fans and other electronics under 200W continuous (400W peak). It is a compact, entry-level pure sine wave inverter, ideal as a secondary power point in a van or for a specific appliance like a CPAP machine or camera charger. For heavier loads, see the Phoenix 375VA or the MultiPlus 12/1600.

Is this inverter safe for sensitive electronics?

Yes. The pure sine wave output is close to mains grid power, making it suitable for laptops, CPAP machines, camera chargers and other electronics with a switch-mode power supply. Avoid modified sine wave inverters for this type of equipment.

Do I need an electrician to install the Phoenix Inverter 12/250 in NZ?

The 12/250 has a built-in AU/NZ outlet and connects to your 12V DC system, so there is no fixed 230V wiring to do for basic use. Any fixed 230V wiring, such as shore power or an automatic transfer switch, must be done by a registered electrician.
