Description
xPhoenix Inverter 48/3000 230V VE.Bus
The Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/3000 230V VE.Bus is a pure sine wave inverter designed for off-grid and backup power applications. It converts 48V DC battery power to 230V AC at 3000VA continuous output, making it suitable for professional installations where reliable AC power is required from a battery bank. The VE.Bus interface enables multi-unit parallel and three-phase configuration as well as integration with Victron monitoring and control systems.
Key Features
- 3000VA continuous output at 230V AC from a 48V DC battery bank, with pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive loads.
- VE.Bus communication interface allows parallel operation with multiple units and three-phase system configuration.
- Compatible with Victron GX devices and the VEConfigure toolset for remote monitoring, configuration and firmware updates.
- Built-in PowerControl and PowerAssist functionality when used alongside a Victron Multi or in supported configurations.
- Comprehensive protection including over-temperature, overload, short circuit and low battery voltage shutdown.
- Wide operating temperature range with automatic load-dependent fan speed control to reduce noise at partial loads.
- Compact and wall-mountable design with a unit weight of 18.3 kg.
Product Overview
The Phoenix 48/3000 operates on a 48V battery bank, a voltage level commonly chosen for larger off-grid systems because it reduces cable losses and allows more efficient use of battery capacity compared to 12V or 24V systems. At 3000VA, it can support a meaningful range of AC loads including lighting, power tools, refrigeration and computing equipment, depending on the load profile and battery capacity available.
The VE.Bus interface is what separates this unit from Victron's simpler inverter range. It allows up to six units to be connected in parallel for increased power output, or configured as a split-phase or three-phase system. This makes the Phoenix 48/3000 VE.Bus a practical choice for installations that may need to scale, or where three-phase AC output is required. VE.Bus also enables full integration with Victron GX monitoring devices such as the Cerbo GX, giving installers and end users visibility of system performance via the VRM portal.
Pure sine wave output means the inverter is compatible with all standard AC loads, including motor-driven equipment and electronics with switch-mode power supplies. The inverter's protection features handle common fault conditions automatically, and the load-dependent fan control keeps the unit quieter during light-load operation.

Installation Notes
This inverter operates at 48V DC and 3000VA output. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer with experience in battery-based power systems. DC cabling must be correctly rated for the current involved at 48V, and appropriate DC fusing must be installed between the battery bank and the inverter. For any grid-connected or grid-backup application, compliance with current UK wiring regulations and network operator requirements is the installer's responsibility. VE.Bus configuration requires the Victron VEConfigure software and a suitable interface cable or GX device.
