The Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/5000 230V Smart converts 48V DC battery power into 230V AC pure sine wave output, with a continuous rating of 5000VA. It sits at the top of the Phoenix range and is built for off-grid and backup installations that need sustained high-power output from a 48V battery bank.

Victron Phoenix inverter features

• Output, 5000VA continuous, pure sine wave, suited to sensitive electronics and motor-driven loads.
• DC input, 48V, compatible with lithium and lead-acid battery banks.
• Connectivity, built-in Bluetooth Smart for setup and monitoring through the VictronConnect app, no separate dongle needed.
• PowerAssist, supplements a limited generator or shore power supply to prevent overload.
• Programmable relay, can be set for generator start/stop or alarm functions.
• GX integration, connects to Victron GX devices via VE.Direct for remote monitoring through the VRM portal.

Product overview

Installers can connect directly from a smartphone to adjust protection thresholds, view real-time voltage and load data, and update firmware over Bluetooth. A transfer switch handles changeover between AC input and inverter output. Protection includes over-temperature, overload and short-circuit shutdown, with automatic restart once conditions return to normal.

Applications

• Off-grid residential and cabin systems needing high continuous AC output from a 48V bank.
• Marine and narrowboat installations with large AC load demands.
• Motorhomes and expedition vehicles running high-draw appliances.
• Telecom and industrial backup power requiring pure sine wave output.
• Generator supplement via PowerAssist where generator capacity is limited.
• Critical backup systems integrated with Victron GX devices and VRM monitoring.
