The Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/2000 230V Smart converts 48V DC battery power into 230V AC pure sine wave output at 2000VA continuous. Built-in Bluetooth means the unit pairs with the VictronConnect app for monitoring and configuration, making it a practical choice for off-grid, marine, vehicle and backup power installations.

Key features of the victron phoenix inverter

• Continuous output, 2000VA at 230V AC from a 48V DC battery bank.
• Waveform, pure sine wave, suitable for motors, compressors and sensitive electronics.
• Connectivity, built-in Bluetooth via VE.Direct, paired with the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
• PowerAssist, supplements an AC source when load demand exceeds available supply.
• Protection, adjustable low battery shutdown, restart and alarm thresholds, plus overload and short circuit protection with automatic restart.
• Energy Saver mode, reduces idle power draw when loads are light or absent.

Product overview

Pure sine wave output means this inverter runs the full range of AC loads, including inductive loads like motors and pumps, without the disruption a modified sine wave can cause to sensitive electronics. The 2000VA continuous rating covers substantial loads, and the peak capacity handles motor start-up surges.

The Smart designation refers to the integrated Bluetooth module. Through VictronConnect, an installer can read live data, adjust protection thresholds, configure Energy Saver mode and check alarm history, all without a physical connection. That is useful during commissioning or fault-finding, particularly where the inverter sits somewhere awkward to reach.

Running on a 48V input suits larger battery banks, where the higher bus voltage keeps cable losses down. It works alone or alongside Victron MPPT charge controllers, BMV battery monitors and GX devices as part of a monitored off-grid or backup power system.

Applications

• Off-grid cabins and remote buildings needing 230V AC from a 48V battery bank.
• Marine vessels with 48V DC systems requiring 230V AC for onboard equipment.
• Vehicle conversions such as motorhomes and expedition vehicles.
• Backup power for communications equipment, medical devices or refrigeration.
• Solar storage systems working alongside MPPT charge controllers and a GX monitoring device.

Installation notes

Fit this by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring. The 48V DC input needs correctly rated DC cabling, fusing and a suitable battery bank. Do not connect the AC output to the public grid without appropriate isolation and protection. VictronConnect is required for Bluetooth configuration, and the unit needs adequate ventilation to avoid thermal shutdown under sustained load.
