The Victron Inverter 24/1200 230V VE.Direct is a pure sine wave inverter built for 24V DC battery systems. It delivers 1200W of continuous AC output at 230V, without a built-in charger, making it suited to off-grid, marine and vehicle installations that need dependable DC-to-AC conversion.

Victron inverter key features

• Continuous output, 1200W from a 24V DC battery bank, 230V AC output.
• Waveform, pure sine wave, compatible with sensitive electronics, motors and compressors.
• Communication, VE.Direct port for monitoring and configuration via Victron GX devices, Color Control GX, or VictronConnect on a PC.
• Low power mode, search mode reduces idle consumption when loads are light or absent, restarting automatically once a load is reconnected.
• Protections, low battery voltage shutdown, high battery voltage shutdown, overload protection and over-temperature shutdown.
• Plug configuration, UK plug and socket, ready for domestic and light commercial use.
• Weight, 6.9 kg, practical for fixed and mobile installations.

Product overview

The 24/1200 belongs to Victron's VE.Direct inverter range, using a serial interface to report battery voltage, output load and alarm states to a compatible GX device or a laptop or phone via a VE.Direct to USB cable. The 24V input suits larger battery banks already running at 24V nominal, such as two 12V batteries in series or a 24V lithium battery. The pure sine wave output avoids the issues a modified sine wave inverter can cause with inductive loads.

Applications

• Off-grid cabins and remote buildings running a 24V battery system.
• Campervans, motorhomes and self-build van conversions with 24V leisure battery banks.
• Marine vessels requiring 230V AC output from a 24V DC system.
• Backup power for critical AC loads during mains outages where a 24V bank is already installed.
• Integration into Victron-based off-grid systems monitored via a GX device or VictronConnect.

Installation notes

This inverter should be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. DC cable sizing and fusing must suit the current draw at 24V, which is significant at full load, and the battery bank must be rated for the required peak current. Installations forming part of a building electrical system must comply with BS 7671. This unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification. Ventilation clearances around the unit must be maintained to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.
