Victron Energy PIN123750200 12/375 Phoenix Direct Schuko Inverter
Victron Energy Phoenix 12/375 Direct Schuko Inverter
More headroom, same proven reliability clean 230VAC from your 12V battery for a wider range of loads
Product Overview
The Victron Energy Phoenix 12/375 Direct Schuko (PIN123750200) is a compact pure sine wave inverter that steps up from the 250VA Phoenix model to deliver 375VA of continuous 230VAC output from a 12V battery bank. The additional headroom makes it suitable for a broader range of AC loads small appliances, power tool chargers, CPAP machines, audio equipment, and other moderate-draw electronics that need clean, stable sine wave power rather than a modified waveform.
Like all models in Victron's Phoenix Direct Schuko range, the 12/375 is built on the full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology that underpins Victron's professional inverter lineup the same design that has proven itself across marine, caravan, off-grid, and vehicle installations worldwide for many years. The integrated Schuko socket provides a direct 230VAC outlet without additional wiring, ECO mode minimises battery draw when loads are light or absent, and a remote on/off connector allows clean system integration without routing heavy battery cables through a switch. Fully configurable voltage protection settings including dynamic cutoff let you fine-tune battery protection for your specific chemistry and installation.
Note: This product is a standalone inverter only it does not include a battery charger. It is not suitable for connection to mains AC supply.

Features & Benefits
- 375VA continuous more capacity than the 250VA model: The step up from 250VA to 375VA opens the door to a wider range of loads: CPAP machines, small kitchen appliances, power tool battery chargers, audio amplifiers, and other moderate-draw electronics that sit above what the 250VA Phoenix can sustain. For installations where the 12/250 left insufficient headroom, the 12/375 is the natural next step.
- Full bridge plus toroidal transformer proven topology: Victron's full bridge plus toroidal transformer design delivers a genuine pure sine wave output identical in quality to grid power and has a long track record of reliability in professional marine, caravan, vehicle, and off-grid applications. It is not the cut-price modified sine wave or quasi-sine topology found in budget inverters, and it handles sensitive electronics, modern power supplies, and motor loads without the interference or compatibility issues those cheaper designs produce.
- Short circuit proof and overtemperature protected: The Phoenix 12/375 shuts down cleanly under output short circuit or overtemperature conditions and recovers without damage. Whether the cause is a faulty load, an accidental short, or sustained high ambient temperature in a hot Australian engine bay or equipment enclosure, the unit protects itself and continues operating once conditions return to normal.
- High start-up power: LED lamp converters, halogen lamps, and small power tools all draw significantly more current on startup than during steady-state operation. The Phoenix 12/375 handles this inrush without tripping or clipping output keeping connected loads starting cleanly every time.
- ECO mode battery-friendly standby: When load drops below 15W, ECO mode puts the inverter into standby and samples for load reconnection every 2.5 seconds (adjustable). Battery drain in standby is minimal important in caravan, marine, and off-grid installations where the inverter may be left on for extended periods with intermittent load use.
- Fully configurable voltage protection: Low voltage alarm, cutoff, and restart thresholds are all user-adjustable to match your battery chemistry and bank size. Dynamic cutoff provides a further layer of intelligence: the cutoff voltage rises with load, preventing shallow-discharge cutoffs under light loads while still protecting the battery from harmful deep discharge under heavy draw.
- Remote on/off: The two-pole remote on/off connector allows the Phoenix 12/375 to be switched from a caravan control panel, vehicle dashboard switch, or BMS output without running heavy battery cables to the switching point. Clean installs, simple integration, no oversized switch gear.
- Integrated Schuko socket: A direct Schuko AC outlet is built into the unit no additional socket wiring required. Standard European/Australian-compatible plugs connect directly, making the Phoenix 12/375 one of the simplest inverters to put into service in mobile and light off-grid applications.
- Configurable output voltage and frequency: Output voltage adjustable between 210–245VAC; frequency switchable between 50Hz and 60Hz. Suitable for Australian loads at 50Hz without modification, and configurable for other standards where required.
- Input and output voltage monitoring with alarms: Onboard monitoring of DC input and AC output voltage with alarm outputs keeps you informed of system status and provides early warning of low battery or fault conditions before they cause a load interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Phoenix 12/375 differ from the Phoenix 12/250?
The 12/375 delivers 375VA continuous output versus 250VA on the 12/250 a 50% increase in capacity. This makes it suitable for a wider range of loads including CPAP machines, small kitchen appliances, and power tool chargers that exceed the 12/250's continuous rating. All other features ECO mode, remote on/off, configurable voltage protection, and the Schuko socket are shared across both models.
Is this inverter suitable for powering a CPAP or sleep apnoea machine?
Yes, provided the CPAP machine's power draw falls within the 375VA continuous rating. CPAP machines require a clean pure sine wave output which the Phoenix 12/375 provides as modified sine wave inverters can cause motor noise, reduced efficiency, or damage to CPAP power supplies. Confirm your CPAP machine's watt rating against the inverter's continuous output capacity before use.
Does ECO mode affect sensitive electronics that need continuous power?
ECO mode cycles the inverter on and off in standby, which is not suitable for loads requiring uninterrupted power. For computers, medical devices, or any load that must remain continuously powered, disable ECO mode so the inverter stays on at all times.
Can the remote on/off be connected to a BMS or battery management system?
Yes. The remote on/off accepts a low-power signal and is compatible with BMS charge-enable or load-enable outputs. Check your BMS output specifications against the Phoenix remote on/off requirements in the Victron installation manual before wiring.
Does this inverter include a battery charger?
No. The Phoenix 12/375 is a standalone pure sine wave inverter only and has no battery charger or AC input. For combined inverter and charger functionality including shore power input, PowerAssist, and UPS transfer refer to the Victron MultiPlus or MultiPlus-II range.
