The Victron Phoenix inverter 48/3000 230V Smart converts 48V DC battery power into 230V AC at 3000VA continuous output, with a pure sine wave suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads. Built-in Bluetooth removes the need for a separate VE.Direct dongle, so installers can configure and monitor the unit through the VictronConnect app without opening the enclosure.

Victron phoenix inverter key features

• Output, 3000VA continuous, pure sine wave AC.
• Input, 48V DC.
• AC output, 230V AC.
• Connectivity, built-in Bluetooth via VE.Direct, works with the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
• PowerAssist, supplements a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore supply, to prevent overload.
• Protection, overload, over-temperature and short-circuit protection built in, plus a programmable relay for generator start or alarm functions.

Product overview

High-frequency transformer technology delivers a stable 230V AC output from the 48V battery bank, suited to variable-speed motor drives, medical equipment and audio systems where waveform quality matters. Through VictronConnect, installers can adjust input voltage thresholds, battery type settings, AES economy mode and relay behaviour remotely, which helps where the unit is mounted somewhere hard to reach.

The Phoenix connects to a Cerbo GX or other GX device via VE.Direct for monitoring through the VRM portal. It is an inverter only, with no built-in charger or transfer relay, so a separate transfer switch or MultiPlus is needed where AC source switching is required.

Applications

• Off-grid cabins and remote buildings running on a 48V battery bank.
• Marine vessels with 48V DC systems needing shore-quality AC power.
• Vehicle conversions with high AC load requirements.
• Backup power for critical equipment where grid supply is unreliable.
• Telecoms and industrial enclosures needing a monitored, remotely configurable inverter.

Installation notes

Fit by a qualified electrician familiar with DC battery systems and off-grid AC wiring, on a correctly fused and rated 48V DC supply, with cable sizing following Victron's published guidance. Grid-connected installations must meet G98 or G99 requirements and be notified to the relevant Distribution Network Operator. Lithium battery setups may need extra BMS communication set up via VE.Direct or a GX device.
