Description
xVictron Phoenix Inverter 48/3000 230V Smart
The Victron Phoenix 48/3000 is a pure sine wave inverter designed for off-grid, marine, vehicle and backup power applications. It converts 48V DC battery power to 230V AC at 3000VA continuous output, with built-in Bluetooth for monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app. Suited to professional installers and system integrators working on demanding standalone power systems.
Key Features
- 3000VA continuous output with pure sine wave AC, suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.
- 48V DC input with wide input voltage range, compatible with standard 48V lead-acid and lithium battery banks.
- Built-in Bluetooth via VE.Direct, enabling wireless configuration and real-time monitoring through the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- PowerAssist capability allows the inverter to supplement an AC source, preventing overload on limited shore or generator supplies.
- Programmable relay for generator start, alarm or other custom functions.
- Overload, over-temperature and short-circuit protection built in.
- Low idle power consumption, reducing parasitic drain in standby-heavy installations.
Product Overview
The Phoenix 48/3000 Smart uses high-frequency transformer technology to deliver a clean, stable 230V AC output from a 48V battery bank. The pure sine wave output is suitable for variable-speed motor drives, medical equipment, audio systems and other loads that are sensitive to waveform quality. At 3000VA, the inverter handles substantial continuous loads while the short-term peak capacity accommodates motor start-up surges.
The "Smart" designation refers to the integrated Bluetooth module, which removes the need for a separate VE.Direct Bluetooth dongle. Through VictronConnect, installers can adjust input voltage thresholds, battery type settings, AES (Automatic Economy Switch) mode and the programmable relay behaviour without physical access to the unit. This is particularly useful in installations where the inverter is mounted in a confined or hard-to-reach enclosure.
The Phoenix range integrates with the wider Victron ecosystem. It can be connected to a Cerbo GX or other GX device via VE.Direct for full system monitoring and remote access through the VRM portal. For installations requiring transfer switching between AC sources and the inverter output, a separate Victron transfer switch or MultiPlus unit would be required, as the Phoenix is an inverter only and does not include a built-in charger or transfer relay.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with DC battery systems and off-grid AC wiring. The unit must be connected to a correctly fused and rated 48V DC supply. Battery cable sizing should follow Victron's published guidelines to minimise voltage drop and heat. For any installation involving connection to the public grid, compliance with G98 or G99 (as applicable) and notification to the relevant Distribution Network Operator is required. Lithium battery installations may require additional BMS communication configuration via VE.Direct or the GX device.
