Description
xVictron Inverter 12/800 230V VE.Direct SCHUKO
The Victron Inverter 12/800 is a 12V DC to 230V AC pure sine wave inverter with a continuous output of 800VA. It is aimed at professional installers and off-grid system builders who need a compact, reliable DC-to-AC conversion unit with VE.Direct monitoring capability and a SCHUKO output socket for direct appliance connection.
Key Features
- 800VA continuous output from a 12V DC battery bank, converting to 230V AC pure sine wave.
- VE.Direct communication port enables monitoring and integration with Victron GX devices, Victron Connect app and the broader Victron ecosystem.
- SCHUKO output socket provides a standard European 230V outlet directly on the unit, suitable for direct appliance connection.
- Pure sine wave output is compatible with sensitive electronics, motors and appliances that require clean AC power.
- Compact and lightweight form factor at 6 kg, suited to installations where space and weight are a consideration.
- Built-in protections include low battery voltage shutdown, over-temperature and overload protection.

Product Overview
The Inverter 12/800 sits within Victron's VE.Direct inverter range, which is designed for straightforward off-grid and mobile applications where a full multifunction inverter-charger is not required. The VE.Direct port distinguishes this unit from basic inverters by allowing real-time data communication. When connected to a Victron Cerbo GX or similar GX device, output power, battery state and alarm conditions can be monitored remotely. The Victron Connect app also allows direct Bluetooth monitoring via a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle, without requiring additional hardware on site.
The SCHUKO socket on the output means the inverter can be connected directly to standard European appliances without additional wiring, which simplifies installation in vehicles, boats and small off-grid cabins. The pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with a wide range of loads including inductive loads such as motors and compressors, as well as sensitive electronics that would be damaged or disrupted by modified sine wave power.
At 800VA continuous, this inverter is suited to moderate loads. Installers should size the battery bank and DC cabling appropriately for the expected load and duty cycle. Peak surge capacity will handle motor start-up currents, but the continuous rating should not be exceeded in normal operation.

Installation Notes
This inverter must be connected to a 12V DC battery bank using correctly rated DC cabling. Cable sizing should account for the full load current at 12V, which will be substantial at 800VA output. DC connections must be fused close to the battery in accordance with wiring regulations. The VE.Direct port requires a compatible cable or dongle for monitoring and is not a power connection. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. This unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 compliance, but any AC wiring downstream of the SCHUKO output must comply with BS 7671 wiring regulations.
