Product Overview

The Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter Smart 24/5000 (PIN242501000) is a 24V pure sine wave inverter delivering 5,000VA of continuous 230V AC output from the proven Phoenix inverter platform now in a slimmer full metal design with improved terminal access and built-in Bluetooth for wireless configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app. At 5,000VA and 24V, it is the highest-output model in the Phoenix Smart range for 24V battery systems suited to large marine vessels, motorhomes, off-grid cabins, and professional mobile installations where serious AC output from a 24V bank is required.

A full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology delivers high peak power surge capacity, stable output voltage and frequency, and a clean sine wave compatible with all load types including sensitive electronics, variable-speed tools, and high-inrush motor loads. Built-in Bluetooth means configuration and real-time monitoring are available wirelessly from any iOS or Android device no wired connection required. A VE.Direct port connects to a computer for the same access via cable. No battery charger and no solar charger are included this is a pure inverter. No built-in transfer switch is included; pair with the Victron Filax ATS or a MultiPlus for seamless AC source switchover.

Features & Benefits

• 5,000VA at 24V — the highest-output Phoenix Smart for 24V systems — At 5,000VA continuous from a 24V battery bank, the Phoenix Smart 24/5000 handles the most demanding AC loads in marine, motorhome, and off-grid applications — high-draw kitchen appliances, air conditioning, power tools, workshop equipment, and whole-system loads in permanent off-grid installations. The top of the Phoenix Smart 24V range.
• Built-in Bluetooth — VictronConnect app — Full configuration and real-time monitoring wirelessly from any iOS or Android device. Configure low battery voltage alarm and cut-off levels, dynamic cut-off, output voltage (210–245V), output frequency (50/60Hz), ECO mode settings, and the alarm relay — all without a wired connection. No dongle required, no interface cable needed for basic setup.
• Full Bridge + Toroidal Transformer — Proven Surge and Reliability — The toroidal transformer delivers high peak power surge capacity for starting motor loads, compressors, power tools, and other high-inrush equipment. Stable sine wave output and decades of field-proven reliability in demanding marine, vehicle, and off-grid environments. Short circuit proof and protected against overheating from overload or high ambient temperature.
• Dynamic Cut-Off — Load-Dependent Battery Protection — Adjusts the low battery voltage disconnect threshold based on current load. Under heavy load (as expected from a 5,000VA inverter), a higher threshold prevents deep over-discharge from high-current draw and voltage sag. Under light load, a lower threshold is acceptable. Protects the 24V battery bank accurately across the full load range from standby to maximum output.
• ECO Mode — Standby Power Reduction — The inverter shuts down when no load is detected and checks every 2.5 seconds (adjustable) for demand. Resumes full operation immediately when load exceeds the threshold. Reduces standby consumption during idle periods — particularly relevant in permanent off-grid installations where the inverter may be unloaded for extended periods.
• Alarm Relay — External Integration — The programmable alarm relay activates on configured events — low battery, overtemperature, or other alarm conditions — for integration with external alert systems, generator auto-start circuits, or load management equipment.
• Remote On/Off — H/L Terminal — External inverter control via a two-pole connector accepting a switch, relay contact, battery positive (H terminal), or battery negative (L terminal). Compatible with panel switches, timer relays, and automation inputs.
• VE.Direct Port — Wired Computer Access — The VE.Direct port connects to a computer via VE.Direct to USB interface cable (sold separately) for the same configuration and monitoring available via Bluetooth — useful for documented installer setups and system commissioning records.
• Slimmer Design, Full Metal Casing, Improved Terminal Access — The Smart update brings a slimmer profile and full metal construction for durability in demanding environments, with terminal positioning redesigned for cleaner, more accessible wiring.
• No Built-In Transfer Switch — For seamless switchover to generator or shore power, pair with the Victron Filax ATS (less than 20ms). For AC input battery charging alongside inversion, a Victron MultiPlus is the more complete solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the built-in Bluetooth differ from the VE.Direct dongle on other Phoenix models?

Built-in Bluetooth requires no additional accessories — open VictronConnect on any iOS or Android device and connect directly. The VE.Direct dongle on non-Smart Phoenix models is an optional add-on that must be purchased separately. For the Smart models, Bluetooth configuration and monitoring is available out of the box.

What loads can a 5,000VA inverter power?

At 5,000VA, this inverter handles most high-draw household loads — large air conditioners, electric ovens, workshop power tools, water pumps, and whole-system loads in off-grid cabins and motorhomes. Confirm your individual load wattages and total simultaneous draw against the 5,000VA continuous rating before commissioning.

Is this inverter suitable for a large marine vessel or motorhome?

Yes — the Phoenix Smart 24/5000 is purpose-built for large marine, motorhome, and off-grid installations running 24V battery banks where high-output 230V AC is required. The toroidal transformer's surge capacity handles the inrush loads common in marine and vehicle environments.

Does this inverter work with a generator or shore power for battery charging?

No — this is a pure inverter only. For battery charging from a generator or shore power connection, a separate battery charger or a Victron MultiPlus inverter/charger with built-in transfer switch is required alongside this unit.

Do I need the VE.Direct to USB cable if I have Bluetooth?

Not for most users — Bluetooth via VictronConnect covers all configuration and monitoring functions wirelessly. The VE.Direct to USB cable (sold separately) provides a wired connection to a computer for installers who prefer documented, cable-based commissioning or configuration backup.
