VICTRON ENERGY PHOENIX INVERTER 24/250 12ADC VE.DIRECT SCHUKO PIN-242510200

• Brand: Victron Energy

• Series: Phoenix Inverter

• Model: 24/250

• Product Code: PIN242510200

• Output Socket: SCHUKO (European standard 2-pin plug with earth contacts)

• Communication: VE.Direct port (for monitoring and integration)

1. Electrical Specifications:

• Nominal Input Voltage (DC): 24V DC

• Output Voltage (AC): 230V AC

• Continuous Output Power: 250 VA / 200 Watts

• Peak Power: 450 Watts (can start loads like small motors)

• Output Waveform: Pure Sine Wave

  • Essential for sensitive electronics like laptops, phone chargers, medical equipment, and audio devices. Superior to modified sine wave inverters.

• Frequency: 50Hz (± 0.1%)

• Efficiency: Up to 88% (typical), with very low no-load power consumption (< 2W).

2. Physical & Design:

• Compact & Lightweight: One of the smallest inverters in its class, ideal for installations with limited space.

• Robust Casing: Durable metal housing with an aluminum base plate for excellent heat dissipation.

• Cooling: Silent, fanless convection cooling – perfect for living spaces, vans, or boats.

• Protection: Fully protected against over-voltage, overload, and overheating. Includes short-circuit protection and a built-in fuse.

3. Connectivity & Monitoring:

• VE.Direct Port: Allows connection to:

  • Victron SmartShunt or BMV battery monitor for state-of-charge.

  • Victron GX devices (Cerbo GX, etc.) for advanced system monitoring and control.

  • Victron smartphone/tablet apps via a VE.Direct to Bluetooth dongle.

• Output: Standard European SCHUKO socket (CEE 7/4), suitable for most devices in Europe.

4. Intelligent Features:

• Power Assist Function: (Not always active on this small model, but a core Phoenix feature on larger ones). It can supplement a weak AC source (e.g., shore power) with battery power to prevent overloads.

• Low Power Standby Mode: Automatically switches to a low-power standby mode when the connected device is turned off, saving energy.

• Remote On/Off Capability: Can be controlled via a remote switch or through a monitoring system (using VE.Direct).

This inverter is designed for low-power, critical applications in 24V systems:

• Mobile/Lifestyle: Campervans, caravans, motorhomes, sailing boats (for powering a single outlet).

• Off-Grid & Backup: Small cabins, sheds, or as part of a critical backup circuit in a larger system.

• Specific Device Power: Reliably powering a single sensitive device such as:

  • Laptop and monitor

  • TV and entertainment system

  • Internet router & networking gear

  • Medical equipment (CPAP machines, etc.)

  • Lighting circuits (LED lights)

  • Kitchen appliances (low-wattage coffee makers, blenders)
