Phoenix 24/500 230V VE.Direct IEC - 24V inverter, 500 VA
Phoenix 24/500 230V VE.Direct IEC is an inverter that converts the voltage of a 24V battery into 230V AC, powering domestic equipment from leisure or automotive batteries. It delivers 400 W continuous and 900 W peak power, has a VE.Direct port for configuration and monitoring, and loads connect to its IEC-320 outlet. It is short-circuit proof and protected against overheating.
Main features:
- Battery voltage: 24 V (18.4-34 V)
- Continuous power: 400 W / 500 VA at 25 °C
- Peak power: 900 W, for LED converters, halogen lamps, power tools
- Maximum efficiency: 90 %
- Output socket: IEC-320, male plug included
- Communication: VE.Direct, adjustable 210-245 V output, configurable cut-off levels
Inverters allow you to power domestic equipment - requiring 230V/120V AC - using 'leisure' or 'automotive' batteries rated at 12V, 24V or 48V DC.
