The Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/800 converts a 48V battery bank into a clean 230V AC supply, putting out 800VA continuous with a pure sine wave. It suits off-grid buildings, mobile installations and backup setups where equipment needs a proper AC waveform rather than a modified one. A SCHUKO socket is fitted as standard, so European plugged loads connect straight in without a distribution board.

Key features of the Phoenix Inverter 48/800

• Output, pure sine wave, 800VA continuous at 230V AC
• Input, 48V DC battery bank
• Socket, SCHUKO output fitted as standard
• Communication, VE.Direct port for GX devices, MPPT chargers and the VictronConnect app (Bluetooth dongle needed for wireless)
• Power management, PowerControl and PowerAssist let the inverter supplement a limited AC source rather than replace it
• Protection, configurable low voltage shutdown against deep discharge
• Weight, 5.8 kg

Product overview

Running from a 48V bank, the Phoenix produces the pure sine waveform that motors, compressors and switched-mode power supplies need. Modified sine wave inverters can misbehave with these loads; this one avoids that problem.

The VE.Direct port ties it into a wider Victron setup. Connect a Cerbo GX and the inverter reports into VRM for logging and remote monitoring, or plug in a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle and configure it live through VictronConnect. The SCHUKO output means a single plugged load can be running from the battery bank without any hardwired AC board; other Phoenix variants offer a terminal block connection where that's needed.

Applications

Fits off-grid cabins and outbuildings on a 48V bank, marine and narrowboat systems needing 230V from a 48V house bank, van and motorhome conversions with 48V electrics, backup power for a single circuit during an outage, and telecoms or remote monitoring enclosures.

Installation notes

Fitting should be done by someone familiar with DC battery systems and low-voltage AC wiring. Use properly rated DC cabling and fusing on the battery connection, and leave space around the unit for ventilation to avoid thermal shutdown. It is not grid-tied, so G98/G99 notification does not apply. A VE.Direct cable or Bluetooth Smart dongle is needed separately for system integration.
