Description
xVictron Inverter 24/1200 230V VE.Direct SCHUKO
The Victron Inverter 24/1200 is a pure sine wave inverter designed to convert 24V DC battery power to 230V AC at 1200VA continuous output. It is aimed at off-grid installations, vehicles, boats and backup power applications where a reliable AC supply is needed from a 24V battery bank. The SCHUKO output socket makes it straightforward to connect standard European appliances directly.
Key Features
- 1200VA continuous AC output from a 24V DC input, suitable for powering a range of household and professional appliances.
- Pure sine wave output, compatible with sensitive electronics, motor-driven equipment and appliances that require clean AC power.
- VE.Direct communication port for monitoring and integration with Victron GX devices, Color Control GX and the VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth dongle.
- SCHUKO output socket for direct connection of standard European plugs without additional adapters.
- Built-in protections including low battery voltage shutdown, high battery voltage shutdown, overload protection and over-temperature shutdown.
- Compact and relatively lightweight at 6.9 kg, making it practical for mobile and space-constrained installations.
- LED indicators for power, inverting status and fault conditions, providing at-a-glance system status without requiring a separate monitor.
Product Overview
The 24/1200 sits within Victron's VE.Direct inverter range, which is designed for straightforward off-grid and standalone applications. The VE.Direct port distinguishes this model from basic inverters by allowing it to communicate with the wider Victron ecosystem. When connected to a GX device or used with VictronConnect, installers can monitor real-time AC output, battery voltage, load percentage and fault history. This is particularly useful in remote or unattended installations where visibility of system performance matters.
The pure sine wave output is an important practical consideration. Many motor-driven loads (pumps, compressors, fans) and sensitive electronics (medical equipment, variable speed drives, audio equipment) require a clean sine wave and will not operate correctly, or may be damaged, on a modified sine wave supply. The 24/1200 produces a true sine wave output, so it is not necessary to pre-qualify loads before connecting them.
The 24V input voltage suits battery banks built from two 12V batteries in series, or purpose-built 24V lithium and AGM battery systems. The 24V platform generally allows for lower DC cable currents compared to a 12V equivalent, which reduces cable losses and simplifies wiring for higher power loads. At 1200VA, this inverter is well suited to loads such as lighting circuits, small power tools, laptops, televisions and similar equipment.

Installation Notes
This inverter operates at 24V DC and must be connected to a correctly rated battery bank with appropriately sized DC cabling and fusing. DC cable sizing is critical at this power level: undersized cables will cause voltage drop, reduced output and potential fire risk. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. This inverter is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification. It is not suitable for connection to the public electricity supply. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load. VE.Direct accessories (cables, Bluetooth dongles) are sold separately.
