Description
Victron Energy Phoenix 12/1200 120V Pure Sine Wave Inverter (PIN122122500)
The Victron Energy Phoenix 12/1200 Inverter (PIN122122500) delivers reliable 120V AC electricity from a 12V battery system, making it an excellent power solution for RVs, motorhomes, camper vans, boats, and off-grid applications. With a 1200VA rating, 1000 watts of continuous output, and 2200 watts of peak surge power, this inverter provides dependable electricity for compatible household electronics, small appliances, and other equipment when shore power isn't available.
Built for efficiency and reliability, the Phoenix 12/1200 uses pure sine wave technology to provide clean, stable electricity for sensitive electronics. Its advanced ECO mode helps conserve battery power during periods of low demand, while VE.Direct connectivity allows users to configure settings and monitor performance through compatible Victron equipment.
Unlike an inverter charger, the Phoenix is designed specifically to convert battery power into AC electricity. It does not recharge batteries or automatically transfer between shore power and inverter power.

Compatibility & Installation Information
The Victron Phoenix 12/1200 (PIN122122500) is designed for 12V battery systems supplying 120V AC electrical equipment. It is an excellent option for North American RVs, travel trailers, fifth wheels, camper vans, and off-grid installations.
With 1000 watts of continuous output, this inverter can operate many common electronics and smaller appliances, provided their running wattage and startup requirements remain within the inverter's limits.
Important: Although rated at 1200VA, this model provides 1000 watts of continuous output at 77°F (25°C). It is not designed to operate high-demand RV appliances such as air conditioners, electric water heaters, or most full-size microwaves.
Before installation, confirm your battery voltage, electrical load requirements, battery capacity, and recommended DC cable and fuse sizing. VE.Direct configuration through a smartphone requires a compatible Bluetooth interface, sold separately.
The Victron Energy PIN122122500 Phoenix Inverter offers a reliable and efficient way to power everyday electronics from your RV's house battery system, whether you're camping off-grid, traveling between destinations, or upgrading your existing electrical setup.
