Victron Energy VE. Direct 3000 VA Phoenix Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Pure sine wave output, high peak power and high efficiency. Combined high frequency and line frequency technologies ensure the best of both worlds.

Feature Bullets

• SinusMax - Superior engineering - Developed for professional duty, the Phoenix range of inverters is suitable for the widest range of applications. The design criteria have been to produce a true sine wave inverter with optimized efficiency but without compromise in performance. Employing hybrid HF technology, the result is a top quality product with compact dimensions, light in weight and capable of supplying power, problem free, to any load
• Extra start-up power - A unique feature of the SinusMax technology is very high start-up power. Conventional high frequency technology does not offer such extreme performance. Phoenix inverters, however, are well suited to power up difficult loads such as refrigeration compressors, electric motors and similar appliances
• Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel 3-phase and split phase operation capability - Up to 6 units inverters can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Six 24/3000 units, for example, will provide 15 kW/18 kVA output power. Operation in 3-phase or split phase configuration is also possible
• To transfer the load to another AC source: the automatic transfer switch - If an automatic transfer switch is required we recommend using the MultiPlus inverter/charger instead. The switch is included in these products and the charger function of the MultiPlus can be disabled. Computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption because the MultiPlus features a very short switchover time (less than 20 milliseconds)
• Communications interface - These larger Phoenix inverter models come with a VE.Bus port. All you need to connect to your PC is our MK3- USB VE.Bus to USB interface (see under accessories). Together with our VictronConnect or VEConfigure software, which can be downloaded free of charge from our website, parameters of the inverters can be customized. This includes output voltage and frequency, over and under voltage settings and programming the relay. This relay can for example be used to signal several alarm conditions, or to start a generator. The inverters can also be connected to a GX device (eg Cerbo GX) for monitoring and control
• New applications of high power inverters - The possibilities of paralleled high power inverters are truly amazing. For ideas, examples and battery capacity calculations please refer to our book 'Energy Unlimited'
• VE.Bus communication port For parallel and three phase operation, remote monitoring and system integration
• Phoenix Inverter Control - This panel can also be used on a MultiPlus inverter/charger when an automatic transfer switch but no charger function is desired. The brightness of the LEDs is automatically reduced during night time
• BMV Battery Monitor - The BMV Battery Monitor features an advanced microprocessor control system combined with high resolution measuring systems for battery voltage and charge/discharge current. Besides this, the software includes complex calculation algorithms, like Peukert's formula, to exactly determine the state of charge of the battery. The BMV selectively displays battery voltage, current, consumed Ah or time to go. The monitor also stores a host of data regarding performance and use of the battery
• Computer controlled operation and monitoring several interfaces are available: Color Control GX Provides monitor and control. Locally, and also remotely on the VRM Portal, MK3-USB VE.Bus to USB interface connects to a USB port (see 'A guide to VEConfigure'), VE.Bus to NMEA 2000 interface Connects the device to a NMEA2000 marine electronics network
