Victron Inverter 12/1600 VE.Direct Schuko

Victron Inverter 12/1600 VE.Direct Schuko – Powerful, efficient & intelligently connected

The Victron Inverter 12/1600 VE.Direct Schuko is a compact, efficient inverter that reliably converts direct current (DC) from your 12 V battery into clean 230 V alternating current. This allows you to safely and efficiently operate your household appliances while on the go or in off-grid operation – with the renowned quality of Victron Energy.

Stable performance & high efficiency

With 1600 VA (approx. 1200 W) continuous power, the inverter provides enough power for most appliances in a motorhome, boat, or off-grid system. Thanks to the high surge factor of 3:1, even devices with high inrush current (e.g., refrigerator or pump) can be operated without any problems. The efficiency is up to 93%, while the integrated ECO mode significantly reduces no-load power consumption.

Intelligent control & monitoring

Via the VE.Direct communication port, the inverter can be connected to a computer, smartphone, or tablet. This allows you to monitor all relevant parameters in real time – for example, input voltage, output power, frequency, temperature, or alarms. With the free VictronConnect app (available for Android, iOS, Windows & macOS), you have full control over settings, ECO mode, and system diagnostics – wirelessly via Bluetooth (with an optional Smart Dongle).

Well-thought-out protection functions

• Reverse polarity protection (DC input)
• Over-temperature & overload protection
• Automatic shut-off at low voltage
• Acoustic warning alarm

Flexible application & installation

With its robust screw terminals (M8) and Schuko output socket, the inverter can be installed easily and safely – without any special tools. It is ideal for mobile applications, stationary energy systems, and emergency power solutions. The inverter operates reliably in a temperature range of –40 °C to +65 °C and is designed for continuous operation.
