Victron Phoenix Inverter VE.Direct 250 to 1600 VA
Description
Pure sine wave inverters from 250 to 1600 VA with VE.Direct
The Victron Phoenix Inverter VE.Direct range converts 12, 24 or 48 V DC into 230 V or 120 V AC pure sine wave in sizes from 250 VA to 1600 VA. Victron describes a full-bridge plus toroidal transformer topology that is short-circuit proof and protected against overheating, with high start-up power for loads such as LED lamp converters, halogen lamps and power tools. The VE.Direct port connects to a computer with an interface cable or to phones and tablets with a Bluetooth dongle, and settings such as low-battery alarm and cut-off, output voltage between 210 and 245 V, frequency and ECO mode are configurable.

Choosing a model
The model code gives battery voltage and VA, for example 24/800. Size the inverter from the continuous load including power factor, and check that the peak power covers motor and lamp start-up. Use the 48 V versions where the DC bus is 48 V, as higher voltage means lower DC current and thinner cables. ECO mode saves battery power when the load is small, but sensitive loads under 15 W may not wake the inverter. For automatic changeover to another AC source Victron recommends its Filax transfer switch (switchover under 20 ms). Units for larger loads, such as the Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000, are listed in solar power.

About brand
A battery-based backup or off-grid system needs one device that inverts, charges the battery and switches between AC sources. In the Victron Energy program that device is the MultiPlus-II inverter charger. Victron Energy, founded in 1975 and based in Almere, Netherlands, makes inverters, chargers and battery systems.
Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat. We list the MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50 and source Victron inverter chargers for buyers in Oman.
Reading the Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50 model name
The name carries the main ratings: a 48 V battery system, 5000 VA inverter output, a 70 A battery charger and a 50 A AC transfer switch. Victron's documentation gives a 230 VAC output and continuous power of 4000 W at 25 °C, falling to 3700 W at 40 °C. The unit supports Victron's PowerControl and PowerAssist functions for use with a limited grid or generator supply.
Ordering Victron Energy equipment: what we need
Send the complete model name, state if you need the standard or the GX version, and give the battery voltage and battery type. Tell us if the unit will run alone, in parallel or in a three-phase group, and the ambient temperature at the site, which matters in the GCC. We check the model against Victron documentation and provide the manufacturer's datasheet on request.
