Description
xVictron Inverter RS 48/6000 230V Smart — PIN482600000
The Victron Inverter RS 48/6000 is a 6000VA pure sine wave inverter designed for 48V battery systems with 230V AC output. It is aimed at off-grid installations, backup power systems and professional solar applications where high continuous power output and smart monitoring are required.
Key Features
- 6000VA continuous output power from a 48V DC battery bank to 230V AC single phase.
- Pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive loads including motors, compressors and electronics.
- Built-in Bluetooth via VictronConnect for wireless configuration, monitoring and firmware updates without additional hardware.
- High-speed PowerControl and PowerAssist functions allow the inverter to supplement an AC source rather than overload it.
- Wide input voltage range accommodates varying battery states across lead-acid and lithium battery chemistries.
- Comprehensive protection: over-temperature, overload, short circuit and low battery voltage shutdown.
- Compatible with Victron's GX device ecosystem for full system integration and remote monitoring via VRM portal.
Product Overview
The RS 48/6000 sits at the higher end of Victron's inverter-only range, delivering 6000VA from a 48V battery bus. At this power level, the unit is suited to installations where substantial AC loads must be run continuously from stored energy, such as off-grid homes, remote commercial sites or large backup systems. The 48V battery voltage is the standard choice at this power level because it keeps DC cable currents manageable compared to lower voltage alternatives.
The "Smart" designation refers to the integrated Bluetooth module, which enables direct communication with the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android. Installers can configure protection thresholds, monitor real-time performance and update firmware without physical access to the unit. For larger system installations, connecting a Victron GX device (such as a Cerbo GX) extends monitoring and control to the VRM online portal, enabling remote oversight of the full system.
The inverter supports both lead-acid and lithium battery banks. Battery type and voltage thresholds are configurable through VictronConnect, so the unit can be matched precisely to the battery chemistry in use. The RS series uses a high-frequency topology, which contributes to its relatively compact form factor and weight of 11 kg at this power rating.

Installation Notes
Installation of this inverter should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer with experience in DC battery systems and off-grid AC wiring. At 6000VA from a 48V battery bank, DC cable sizing and fusing are critical: use appropriately rated DC cables and a suitably rated fuse or breaker as close to the battery as practicable. The unit is not a grid-tied inverter and does not hold G98 or G99 approval for export to the UK grid. Ensure the battery bank chemistry and voltage thresholds are correctly configured in VictronConnect before commissioning. For lithium battery systems, verify BMS compatibility before connecting.
