Victron Phoenix Inverter VE.Direct series (250 VA to 1 200 VA)
The Victron Phoenix Inverter with VE.Direct (250–1200 VA) is a high-efficiency pure sine wave inverter designed for reliable power conversion in off-grid, backup, and mobile applications. Ideal for use in Tanzania, it features ultra-low standby power, Bluetooth monitoring via VE.Direct, and robust protection against overloads and voltage issues. Available in multiple capacities, it’s perfect for homes, workshops, and solar setups requiring stable AC power from 12V, 24V, or 48V battery systems.
Features & Benefits:
- Pure sine wave output: Safe for sensitive electronics—computers, medical devices, invertersrus notes it’s built for quality and longevity
- High surge capability: Handles startup currents of devices like pumps, power tools, coffee machines
- Ultra-low standby draw: ECO‑mode minimizes battery drain during idle periods—crucial in off-grid or solar-reliant settings
- Customizable, adaptive protection: Dynamic low-voltage shutdown protects batteries and ensures reliable operation
- Robust build quality: Toroidal transformer and steel/blue plastic housing—IP21 rated, built for tough environments
Use Cases:
- Off-grid solar + battery systems: Ideal for households needing pure sine output for lights, TVs, refrigerators, and mobile charging.
- Backup during load shedding: Seamless switch with recommended Filax ATS (<20 ms switchover) ensures continuity for essential appliances
- Mobile setups: Useful in clinics, telecoms, and remote workstations using 12–48 V battery banks.
- Small workshops: Higher-capacity models (800 VA/1 200 VA) power drills, grinders, and other motor-driven tools.
- Educational or medical camps: Clean power for computers, microscopes, and medical devices.
Value Proposition & Local Positioning:
- Reliability: Five-year warranty and global support—important for Tanzanian markets where service can be challenging
- Energy efficiency: ECO‑mode helps reduce generator or solar usage—key for cost-sensitive users.
- Flexible use: Wide input voltage compatibility (12/24/48 V) allows use across vehicle, solar-battery, and generator systems.
- Scalable output options: From small lights (250 VA) to workshop tools (1 200 VA), adaptable to varied power needs.
- Monitoring & control: Bluetooth and computer access via VE.Direct fit tech-savvy urban users and system integrators.
