The Victron Inverter 24/250 is a 250VA pure sine wave inverter that takes power from a 24V DC battery bank and turns it into 230V AC for the UK market. It suits off-grid buildings, vehicles, boats and backup applications where a small, clean AC supply is needed without the bulk of a larger unit.

Key features of the Victron inverter 24/250

• Output, 250VA continuous at 230V AC, pure sine wave.
• Input, 24V DC battery bank.
• Monitoring, VE.Direct port for connection to Victron accessories such as the Color Control GX, MPPT displays and the VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB cable.
• Plug, UK configuration fitted as standard.
• Weight, 2.6 kg, compact enough for mobile installs.
• Protection, low battery voltage shutdown, high battery voltage, overload and over-temperature cut-outs.
• Idle draw, low standby consumption when no load is connected.

Where it's used

At 250VA this is not a unit for high-draw appliances. It covers smaller loads well: phone and laptop chargers, LED lighting circuits, small fans and instrumentation, the sort of demand typical in off-grid cabins, campervans, narrowboats and marine 24V systems. Because it runs from 24V rather than 12V, check your battery bank voltage before ordering.

Why pure sine wave matters

Modified sine wave inverters can upset motor-driven equipment, some audio gear and certain battery chargers. A pure sine wave output avoids that, so it works cleanly with sensitive electronics throughout its output range.

VE.Direct monitoring

The VE.Direct port lets the inverter sit inside a Victron monitoring setup without extra wiring. With a VE.Direct to USB cable and the VictronConnect app, an installer can read live data and adjust settings from a phone or laptop, useful for commissioning or checking on a system remotely.

Installation notes

Connect directly to a 24V DC battery bank, confirmed before fitting since this unit is not compatible with 12V or 48V systems. DC cable and fusing need to be sized for the current draw at 24V. Fitting should be done by a qualified electrician or a competent person working with DC and AC systems. It is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification. A VE.Direct cable, sold separately, is needed for VictronConnect monitoring.
