Victron Phoenix 12V 500VA GFCI Duplex Inverter

The Victron Phoenix 12/500 delivers about 350W continuous from a 12V bank through a GFCI duplex outlet, with VE.Direct.

Three hundred and fifty watts continuous from a 500VA rating is the honest figure, and it is what the load should be sized against. That covers laptops, chargers, small tools and lighting. Anything with a motor or a heating element needs one of the larger Phoenix models rather than this.

Choosing the smallest inverter that covers the actual load is the right approach, since a larger unit adds size, cost and standby battery drain for capacity never used. The GFCI duplex outlet is built in, giving a protected receptacle without a separate outlet box downstream.

Pure sine wave output suits sensitive electronics that may not run properly on modified sine wave power. VE.Direct integrates it with compatible Victron monitoring and configuration accessories for status and adjustable operating parameters. Explore more power inverters.
