Inverters
Victron Phoenix 1200VA inverter
The 1200VA model is rated at 1000W continuous at 25°C. Check appliance watts and starting demand; many household kettles exceed its output.
Specifications and model checks
This profile identifies a brand and rating or model family. Confirm the precise variant and current datasheet; voltage, monitoring and environmental limits can vary between versions.
| Continuous output | 1000 W at 25°C; 1200 VA |
| Waveform | Pure sine |
| Input | 12/24 V |
| Max DC current | About 120 A at 12 V |
Suitable boat applications
Cruising yachts running occasional 240 V rather than living on it.
Compatibility limits to check
You want to run an induction hob or a microwave and a kettle together.
For how to size this against your own boat rather than against a spec sheet, read inverters.
The 1200VA model’s continuous watt rating is lower than its VA rating. Check Victron’s current VE.Direct inverter datasheet, including temperature derating and the exact voltage variant.
Before choosing Victron Phoenix 1200VA inverter
Inverter output, idle consumption and battery limits
Compare continuous output and startup demand against the appliances you actually intend to run. Then account for idle consumption during the hours the inverter remains enabled. The bank, protection and cabling must support the design together; a large inverter label does not establish that an existing battery installation can supply it.
Confirm specifications against the exact model and revision offered by the supplier. A listed price band is a planning reference; request a current written quote with installation and commissioning separated from equipment supply.
