Description
Victron Energy Phoenix 12/375 230V Pure Sine Wave Inverter (PIN121371200)
The Victron Energy Phoenix 12/375 Inverter (PIN121371200) converts 12V DC battery power into clean, reliable 230V AC electricity for RVs, camper vans, motorhomes, boats, and off-grid power systems. With a 375VA rating, 300 watts of continuous output, and 700 watts of peak power, this compact inverter is ideal for running compatible electronics, chargers, and small appliances when shore power isn't available.
Designed for efficiency and dependable performance, the Phoenix 12/375 uses pure sine wave technology to provide stable electricity for sensitive electronic equipment. Its built-in ECO mode helps conserve battery power during periods of low demand, while VE.Direct communication allows users to monitor performance and configure settings through compatible Victron accessories.
Unlike an inverter charger, the Phoenix 12/375 converts battery power into AC electricity but does not recharge batteries or automatically switch between shore power and inverter power.

Compatibility & Installation Information
The Victron Phoenix 12/375 (PIN121371200) is designed for 12V battery systems that require 230V AC output. It is suitable for European RVs, camper vans, boats, and off-grid installations using compatible 230V electrical equipment.
With 300 watts of continuous output, this inverter can power smaller electronics and appliances, provided their running wattage and startup requirements remain within the inverter's limits.
Important: This is the 230V European Schuko version, not the standard 120V inverter used in most North American RVs. Verify your AC voltage requirements and outlet compatibility before ordering.
Although rated at 375VA, this inverter provides 300W of continuous output at 77°F (25°C). It is not intended to power high-demand appliances such as microwaves, air conditioners, or electric water heaters.
Before installation, verify battery voltage, electrical load requirements, recommended DC cable sizing, and fuse protection. Wireless monitoring through the VictronConnect app requires a compatible VE.Direct Bluetooth interface, sold separately.
The Victron Energy PIN121371200 Phoenix Inverter provides a compact, dependable solution for converting stored 12V battery power into 230V AC electricity while camping, cruising, or operating off-grid.
