Description
The Victron Phoenix Inverter Compact 12V provides reliable 230V pure sine wave power wherever mains electricity is unavailable. It converts power from a 12V battery bank into clean AC electricity suitable for many household appliances and electronic devices.
Choose between 1200VA, 1600VA and 2000VA models. Therefore, you can match the inverter to your equipment, battery capacity and expected power demand.
Built for professional use, this inverter combines reliable performance with a compact and practical design. Additionally, VE.Bus connectivity allows compatible Victron equipment and system configurations to be connected.
Choose Your Victron Phoenix Inverter Compact 12V Model
Three power options are available on this product page. Select your required model before adding the inverter to your cart.
- 1200VA model: Provides up to 1000W continuous output at 25°C and 2400W peak power.
- 1600VA model: Provides up to 1300W continuous output at 25°C and 3000W peak power.
- 2000VA model: Provides up to 1600W continuous output at 25°C and 4000W peak power.
The correct model depends on the continuous wattage and startup demand of your connected appliances. Some equipment draws considerably more power when starting. Therefore, always allow enough capacity for startup surges.

Pure Sine Wave 230V Power
The Victron Phoenix Inverter Compact 12V produces a pure sine wave output. Consequently, connected appliances receive smooth and stable 230V AC power.
Pure sine wave power is suitable for sensitive electronics and equipment containing variable-speed motors or electronic controls. It may power suitable televisions, computers, chargers, lighting, refrigeration and other appliances within the inverter’s rated limits.
However, always check each appliance’s running wattage and startup requirements before selecting an inverter.
Strong Startup Performance
Many appliances require a short burst of additional power when they start. Compressors, pumps, power tools and electric motors can have significantly higher startup demands than their normal operating wattage.
Victron’s SinusMax technology is designed to deliver strong startup performance. Therefore, the inverter can support demanding loads that may be difficult for some conventional inverters of a similar size.
The available peak power increases with each model. This makes choosing the right variation important for dependable operation.
Victron Phoenix Inverter Compact VE.Bus Connectivity
VE.Bus connectivity provides options for advanced system integration and configuration. Compatible units may also be configured for parallel operation or three-phase systems when professionally designed and installed.
This flexibility makes the range suitable for simple mobile installations and more advanced off-grid power systems. Additionally, compatible Victron accessories may be used for remote operation and system control.
Any advanced electrical configuration should be completed by a suitably qualified installer.
Energy-Saving ECO Mode
ECO mode can reduce unnecessary battery consumption when connected loads are very low. In this mode, the inverter can enter standby and periodically check whether sufficient load is present.
Once a suitable load is detected, normal inverter operation resumes. Therefore, ECO mode can help conserve valuable battery capacity during extended off-grid use.
This feature is particularly useful in caravans, motorhomes, boats and remote installations where stored energy must be managed carefully.
Built-In Protection Features
The Victron Phoenix Inverter Compact includes protection against several common electrical problems. These protections help safeguard the inverter and connected system during operation.
Protection functions include:
- Output short circuit
- Overload
- Battery voltage that is too high
- Battery voltage that is too low
- Excessive temperature
- Excessive DC ripple voltage
Correct cable sizing, fusing and ventilation remain essential. Additionally, the inverter should be installed according to Victron’s instructions and applicable Australian electrical requirements.
Compact Design for Mobile and Off-Grid Installations
The compact housing makes this inverter suitable for installations where available space is limited. It can be incorporated into many 4WD, caravan, camper trailer, motorhome, marine and off-grid battery systems.
Adequate airflow must be maintained around the unit. Furthermore, it should be mounted in a dry and protected location away from excessive heat, moisture and combustible materials.
The battery bank, cables and protection devices must also be sized for the chosen inverter model.

Important Installation Information
This product is an inverter only. It does not contain a built-in battery charger or solar regulator.
High-powered 12V inverters can draw substantial current from a battery bank. Therefore, suitable batteries, heavy-duty cables, correctly rated fuses and secure connections are required.
For safety and dependable performance, installation should be completed or checked by a qualified professional. Always confirm that your appliances and battery system are suitable for the selected inverter before ordering.
