Victron Energy PIN242121300 Phoenix Inverter 24/1200 230V VE.Direct AU/NZ
1200VA Pure Sine Wave at 24V VE.Direct, ECO Mode, AU/NZ Ready.
Product Overview
The Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter 24/1200 230V VE.Direct AU/NZ (PIN242121300) is a 24V pure sine wave inverter delivering 1,200VA of continuous 230V AC output, fitted with an Australian and New Zealand standard plug. Built on the full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology that underpins the entire Phoenix range, it delivers proven field reliability, high start-up surge power for demanding loads, and clean sine wave output across marine, caravan, motorhome, and off-grid 24V applications.
There is no built-in Bluetooth on this model. Monitoring and configuration are via the VE.Direct port connect to a computer using the VE.Direct to USB interface cable, or wirelessly to any iOS or Android smartphone, tablet, or MacBook using the optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. Both accessories are sold separately. No automatic transfer switch is included; the Victron Filax ATS is recommended for seamless AC source switchover. Pure inverter only no battery charger, no solar charger.

Features & Benefits
- 1,200VA at 24V — mid-weight Phoenix platform output — At 1,200VA, this inverter sits between the compact 800VA and the more capable 1,600VA Smart models in the 24V Phoenix range — suited to powering a microwave, small air conditioner, power tools, entertainment systems, or multiple smaller loads simultaneously from a 24V battery bank.
- Full Bridge + Toroidal Transformer — Proven Reliability — The toroidal transformer topology delivers high surge capability for starting motor loads, LED and halogen lamp converters, and power tools. Short circuit proof and protected against overheating from overload or high ambient temperature. The same proven platform deployed across the Phoenix range in professional marine, caravan, and off-grid installations.
-
VE.Direct Port — Configurable via Cable or Optional Dongle — All inverter parameters are accessible via the VE.Direct port. Both accessories are sold separately:
- VE.Direct to USB Interface Cable — connects the inverter to a computer for configuration and monitoring via VictronConnect.
- VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart Dongle — adds wireless Bluetooth access from any iOS or Android smartphone, tablet, or MacBook for the same configuration and monitoring wirelessly.
-
Full Configurability via VE.Direct — Once connected, the following parameters are accessible:
- Low battery voltage alarm trip and reset levels
- Low battery voltage cut-off and restart levels
- Dynamic cut-off — load-dependent threshold
- Output voltage (210–245V)
- Output frequency (50Hz or 60Hz)
- ECO mode on/off and sense level
- Monitoring: input/output voltage, load percentage, and alarms
- Dynamic Cut-Off — Load-Dependent Battery Protection — Adjusts the low battery disconnect threshold based on current load, protecting the 24V battery bank accurately across light and heavy load conditions.
- ECO Mode — Standby Power Reduction — Switches to standby when load drops below the preset level and periodically checks for load increase. Reduces no-load standby consumption — relevant in 24V off-grid and battery-backed systems where standby draw affects battery autonomy.
- High Start-Up Power — The toroidal transformer's surge capability handles the inrush current required to start LED lamp converters, filament lamp transformers, and power tools.
- Remote On/Off — A remote switch or battery positive signal connected to the two-pole connector enables external on/off control of the inverter.
- AU/NZ Standard Plug — Direct connection to any standard Australian or New Zealand 10A GPO — no adapter required.
- No Built-In Transfer Switch — Pair with the Victron Filax ATS (less than 20ms switchover) for seamless AC source transfer, or a Victron MultiPlus for combined inversion and AC input battery charging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this inverter have built-in Bluetooth?
No — there is no built-in Bluetooth on this model. Wireless access requires the optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle (sold separately). Computer-based access uses the VE.Direct to USB interface cable (also sold separately). For built-in Bluetooth, consider the Phoenix Smart 24/1600 (PIN242161000).
What is the difference between this model and the Phoenix Smart 24/1600?
The Phoenix Smart 24/1600 (PIN242161000) has built-in Bluetooth for direct wireless configuration without accessories, and a higher 1,600VA output. This model requires the optional VE.Direct dongle for wireless access and delivers 1,200VA. Choose the 24/1200 if lower output meets your needs and wireless access is not a priority; choose the Smart 24/1600 for built-in Bluetooth.
What loads can a 1,200VA inverter power?
At 1,200VA, this inverter handles common loads including a microwave (700–1,200W), small power tools, entertainment systems, lighting, and phone and device chargers within its continuous rating. Confirm each appliance's wattage and total simultaneous load against the 1,200VA limit before commissioning.
Does this inverter include a transfer switch?
No. The Victron Filax ATS (less than 20ms switchover) is recommended for installations requiring transfer to a generator or shore power source. If AC input battery charging is also needed, a Victron MultiPlus with built-in transfer switch is the more complete solution.
Can I use this inverter in both 12V and 24V systems?
No — this model is specifically rated for 24V DC input. For 12V systems, a separate 12V Phoenix Inverter model is required. Confirm your battery bank voltage before ordering.
