Product Overview

The Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter 48/800 230V VE.Direct AU/NZ (PIN481801300) is a compact 48V pure sine wave inverter delivering 800VA of continuous 230V AC output, fitted with an Australian and New Zealand standard plug. Built on the proven Phoenix inverter platform with a full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology, it provides high-quality sine wave output and robust surge capability for powering household appliances, sensitive electronics, and common leisure equipment from a 48V battery bank.

This is a pure inverter only no integrated battery charger, no solar charger. There is no built-in Bluetooth. Monitoring and configuration are via VE.Direct: connect to a computer using a VE.Direct to USB interface cable, or connect wirelessly to any iOS or Android smartphone, tablet, or MacBook using the VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle both accessories sold separately. No automatic transfer switch is included; the Victron Filax ATS or a MultiPlus inverter/charger is recommended for installations requiring AC source switchover.

Features & Benefits

• Pure Sine Wave Output — Safe for All Sensitive Electronics — Pure sine wave 230V AC output is compatible with all household and sensitive electronics — laptops, televisions, LED and halogen lamp drivers, small refrigerators, medical devices, and appliances with active power factor correction.
• VE.Direct Port — Configurable via Cable or Optional Dongle — All inverter parameters are accessible via the VE.Direct port using either a VE.Direct to USB interface cable (computer connection) or the VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle (wireless iOS, Android, and MacBook access). Both accessories are sold separately. The dongle is also required for real-time wireless alarm monitoring.
• Full Configurability — Once connected, the following parameters are adjustable:
  • 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
• Dynamic Cut-Off — Load-Dependent Battery Protection — Adjusts the low battery cut-off threshold based on current load, protecting the battery more accurately than a fixed voltage threshold across varying load conditions.
• ECO Mode — Standby Power Reduction — Shuts the inverter down when load drops below 15W, checks for demand every 2.5 seconds, and resumes when load exceeds the threshold. Reduces standby power consumption in off-grid and battery-backed systems.
• High Start-Up Power — Toroidal transformer surge capacity handles the inrush current of LED lamp converters, halogen transformers, electric tools, and other high-inrush loads.
• Remote On/Off — Connect a switch or relay to the two-pole connector, or connect battery positive to the left-hand contact, for external inverter control.
• AU/NZ Standard Plug — Direct connection to any standard Australian or New Zealand 10A GPO — no adapter required.
• Full Bridge + Toroidal Transformer — Proven topology delivering reliable pure sine wave output, short circuit protection, and overheating protection across long-term field deployments.
• LED Diagnosis — Status and fault indication via on-unit LEDs — refer to the manual for code descriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this inverter have built-in Bluetooth?

No. 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). Neither accessory is included with the unit.

What is the VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle and do I need it?

The VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle connects to the inverter's VE.Direct port and adds wireless Bluetooth access for iOS, Android, and MacBook devices. It is also required for real-time wireless alarm monitoring. If you prefer wired configuration, the VE.Direct to USB cable is the alternative. Neither is included — confirm which option suits your installation before ordering.

What appliances can an 800VA inverter power?

At 800VA, this inverter can power laptops, televisions, LED and halogen lighting, phone and device chargers, and small refrigerators. High-draw appliances such as electric kettles, air conditioners, and large power tools exceed its output rating. Always verify the appliance's power consumption in watts before connecting.

Does this inverter include a transfer switch?

No. The Victron Filax Automatic Transfer Switch (less than 20ms switchover) is recommended for installations requiring transfer to a generator or shore power. If AC input battery charging is also needed, a Victron MultiPlus with built-in transfer switch is the more comprehensive solution.

What is dynamic cut-off?

Dynamic cut-off adjusts the low battery disconnect voltage threshold based on current load — protecting the battery more accurately than a fixed threshold across light and heavy load conditions.
