The Victron Inverter Phoenix C12/2000 is the next evolutionary stage after the 12/180-1200 Phoenix series. Compared to this series, the devices in the compact class have a greatly expanded range of functions. A number of innovations have been added, particularly in the area of communication, making the C12/2000 a future-proof investment. 1600W is the continuous output of this device. From a 12V battery, this device generates 230V alternating current for you with a pure sine wave and clean 50Hz frequency, which also makes the operation of very sensitive electronic devices possible without compromise. The voltage converter also scores with excellent values in terms of self-consumption and efficiency. As the icing on the cake, this device class is now also capable of parallel operation and three-phase operation with other Phoenix inverters from the same series.
VE.Bus RS-485 communication port - far-reaching new possibilities
All Phoenix inverters in the Compact series have an RS-485 data port and can thus establish a connection to a computer / notebook using the optional VE Interface MK2-USB, which opens up whole new possibilities in terms of configuration and monitoring.
Here are some of the most important options that this new feature opens up for you:
demand-based programming of many parameters such as output voltage, frequency, the upper and lower voltage limits and much more
can be integrated into a computerized monitoring and control system
all Phoenix Compact converters can also be connected to VENet, VENnet and VENnet;They can also be used with VENet, Victron Energy's innovative power and monitoring network, or other computerized control and monitoring systems
Easy programming of the integrated relay. The relay can be used, for example, to generate signals in special situations or to start a generator.
Parallel and three-phase operation with other Phoenix inverters possible
The development of the new Phoenix series was uncompromisingly aimed at an inverter with a clean sine wave output and high efficiency. By using the latest hybrid RF technology, Victron was able to develop a quality product with compact dimensions and low weight that can deliver any desired power without any problems. The SinusMax technology, which also finds its place in this series, enables particularly high peak currents of 4000W when switching on devices!
further technical features of the Phoenix C12/2000
1600W continuous power, suitable for all common 12V batteries
genuine sine wave delivers a precise 50Hz frequency
much higher peak power can be achieved;higher peak power possible thanks to Victron's integrated Sine-Max technology converts 12V DC to 230V AC with pure sine wave
advanced hybrid HF technology installed which is much more powerful;and less susceptible to interference than conventional high-frequency technology
very low power consumption and high efficiency
integrated energy-saving mode
with 2-pole alarm contact which can be used as an output for an on/off remote control
very high starting power thanks to SinusMax technology
The SinusMax technology
A key feature of the SinusMax technology is the particularly high starting power. This is not possible with conventional HF technology. Phoenix inverters are able to cope with the high starting currents of e.g. refrigeration compressors, tool motors and the like.
Practically unlimited power thanks to parallel connection and three-phase operation
Up to six inverter units can be connected in parallel to increase power. Three-phase operation is also possible
Load switching to other AC sources:
The automatic load changeover switch We recommend the Filax automatic changeover switch for lower outputs. Computers and other sensitive electronic devices can continue to operate virtually uninterrupted, as the switching times are very short (less than 20 m/sec).
