Victron Phoenix Inverter C 12/2000

The Victron Phoenix C12/2000 inverter is the next evolutionary step after the 12/180-1200 Phoenix series. Compared to this series, the compact class devices boast a significantly expanded range of functions. Several innovations have been added, particularly in the communications area, making the C12/2000 a future-proof investment. The continuous output of this device is 1600W. From a 12V battery, this device generates 230V alternating current with a pure sine wave and a clean 50Hz frequency, which allows the operation of even very sensitive electronic devices without compromise. The voltage converter also scores highly in terms of self-consumption and efficiency. The icing on the cake is that this device class now also supports parallel and three-phase operation with other Phoenix inverters in the same series.

VE.Bus RS-485 communication port – far-reaching new possibilities
All Phoenix Compact Series inverters have an RS-485 data port and can therefore be connected to a computer/notebook using the optional VE Interface MK2-USB, opening up completely new possibilities in terms of configuration and monitoring.

Here are some of the most important options that this innovation opens up for you:
Demand-based programming of many parameters such as output voltage, frequency, upper and lower voltage limits and much more
can be integrated into a computer-aided monitoring and control system
All Phoenix Compact converters can also be used on VENet, Victron Energy's innovative power monitoring network, or other computer-based 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 focused on creating an inverter with a clean sine wave output and high efficiency. By applying the latest hybrid RF technology, Victron was able to develop a high-quality product with compact dimensions and low weight that can easily deliver any desired power output. SinusMax technology, which also features in this series, enables particularly high peak currents when switching on devices up to 4000W!

further technical information of the Phoenix C12/2000
1600W continuous power, suitable for all common 12V batteries
true sine wave delivers a precise 50Hz frequency
Much higher peak power possible thanks to integrated Sinus-Max technology from Victron converts 12V DC into 230V AC with pure sine wave
Advanced hybrid RF technology is used, which is much more powerful and less susceptible to interference than conventional radio frequency technology

very high starting power thanks to SinusMax technology

The Sinus-Max technology
A key feature of SinusMax technology is its exceptionally high starting power. This is not possible with conventional HF technology. Phoenix inverters are capable of handling the high starting currents of refrigeration compressors, tool motors, and similar devices.

Virtually unlimited power through 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 transfer switch: For smaller loads, we recommend the Filax automatic transfer switch. This allows computers and other sensitive electronic devices to continue operating virtually uninterrupted, as the switching times are very short (less than 20 m/sec).
