The Victron Inverter 24/1200 converts 24V DC battery power into 230V AC at 1200VA continuous output. It suits off-grid installations, vehicles, boats and backup power setups where a clean AC supply is needed from a 24V battery bank. A SCHUKO output socket lets you plug in standard European appliances without adapters.

Key features

• Output, 1200VA continuous AC from a 24V DC input.
• Waveform, pure sine wave, suited to motor-driven equipment and sensitive electronics.
• Communication, VE.Direct port for monitoring via Victron GX devices, Color Control GX or the VictronConnect app.
• Output socket, SCHUKO, for direct connection of standard European plugs.
• Protections, low battery voltage shutdown, high battery voltage shutdown, overload protection and over-temperature shutdown.
• Weight, 6.9 kg.

Product overview

This victron inverter sits in Victron's VE.Direct range, built for off-grid and standalone use. The VE.Direct port lets it talk to the wider Victron ecosystem, so installers can check AC output, battery voltage, load percentage and fault history from a GX device or VictronConnect. That matters most in remote or unattended sites.

Pure sine wave output means pumps, compressors, fans, medical equipment, variable speed drives and audio gear all run as they would on mains, without needing to check compatibility first.

The 24V input suits battery banks made from two 12V batteries in series, or dedicated 24V lithium or AGM systems. Running at 24V rather than 12V generally means lower DC cable currents for the same power, which helps with cable sizing at 1200VA.

Applications

• Off-grid cabins and remote buildings running on solar and battery storage.
• Campervans, motorhomes and caravans needing 230V AC from a 24V system.
• Marine vessels with 24V DC systems requiring AC power onboard.
• Backup power for critical loads during mains outages, alongside a battery bank.
• Temporary site power for tools where mains is unavailable.
• Agricultural and rural sites where a grid connection isn't practical.

Installation notes

This inverter runs at 24V DC and needs a correctly rated battery bank with properly sized DC cabling and fusing. Cable sizing matters at this power level: undersized cables cause voltage drop and heat.
