The Victron Phoenix 48/5000 is a pure sine wave inverter delivering 5000VA continuous output at 230V AC from a 48V DC battery bank. It suits off-grid, backup and mobile installations where load capacity, monitoring and system expansion matter.

Key features

• Output, 5000VA continuous, pure sine wave, 230V AC
• DC input, 48V, compatible with 48V lead-acid and lithium battery banks
• Communication, VE.Bus port for integration with Multi, Quattro and GX devices
• Expansion, parallel and three-phase operation supported via VE.Bus
• Control, programmable relay and remote on/off for automation
• Protection, overload and over-temperature shutdown with automatic restart

Product overview

Output is clean and grid-quality, suitable for sensitive loads such as motors, compressors, medical equipment and variable-speed drives, without the harmonic distortion of a modified sine wave unit. The VE.Bus interface connects directly to Victron GX devices like the Cerbo GX for full system monitoring, and to VictronConnect or VEConfigure for remote configuration. Multiple Phoenix units can be stacked via VE.Bus for higher total output or wired for three-phase supply.

At 28kg this is a fixed-installation unit built for marine, vehicle, industrial and off-grid building use over extended periods.

Applications

• Off-grid cabins, lodges and rural buildings running 48V battery systems
• Marine vessels needing high-capacity 230V AC power from a 48V DC bank
• Vehicle conversions such as HGV, coach and expedition builds with significant AC loads
• Industrial backup power for equipment sensitive to waveform quality
• Multi-unit parallel installations exceeding a single inverter's output

Installation notes

This inverter runs at high DC current from a 48V bank and should be installed by a qualified electrician or system integrator. Cable sizing, fusing and connection torque matter at this power level. Grid-connected or grid-adjacent installations must confirm G98 or G99 compliance and DNO requirements. VE.Bus setup needs VEConfigure software or a compatible GX device. Check lithium battery compatibility against the BMS specification before commissioning.
