Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/3000 230V VE.Bus

Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/3000 230V VE.Bus

The Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/3000 (PIN123020000) is the largest 12V Phoenix inverter. Especially in terms of communication there are several new features which make the 12/3000 a future-proof investment that provides a constant performance of 2400W. This device converts a 12V DC battery current into a 230V AC current with a pure sine wave at 50Hz which also allows the supply of very sensitive electronic components.
This inverter comes with excellent consumption and efficiency characteristics and moreover supports the parallel and three-phase operation with other Phoenix inverters out of this series.

VE.Bus RS-485 communication port – extensive, new possibilities

All Phoenix inverters out of the 12V/24V/48V-3000-5000 series are equipped with a RS-485 data port. Via the optional VE Interface MK2-USB you can connect the inverter to a PC or notebook.
This allows many new possibilities in terms of configuration and monitoring.

Following some of the most important new features:

• individual adjustment of parameters such as output voltage, frequency, upper and lower voltage limit and much more…
• can be integrated in a computer-aided monitoring and control system
• all Phoenix inverters can also be used with VENet – Victron’s innovative monitoring network – or any other computer-aided control and monitoring system
• easy programing of the integrated relay. The relay can be used to produce signals for special events or to start a generator, for example
• parallel or three-phase operation with other Phoenix inverters

The main focus during the development of the new Phonex series was to create an inverter with a clean sine output and high efficiency. Thanks to latest hybrid-HF technology Victron was able to create a high-quality product with small dimensions and low weight which provides any needed performance easily.
Additionally SinusMax technology, new within this series, allows very high peak-currents of 6000W!

Technical data

• 2600W constant output, suitable for all common 12V batteries
• pure sine wave (50Hz)
• higher peak-currents thanks to Victron’s Sinus-Max technology
• converts 12V DC into 230V AC (pure sine wave)
• advanced hybrid-HF technology – more performance and less vulnerable to faults compared to common high-frequency technology
• very low consumption, high efficiency
• integrated energy-saving mode
• bipolar alarm contact that can be used as output for an on/off-remote control

SinusMax technology

The most important characteristic about this technology is a very high starting current capacity which is not possible with common HF-technology.
Phoenix inverters can easily handle high starting currents of, for example, refrigerating compressors, tools and others.
Nearly unlimited performance through parallel and three-phase operation:
Up to six inverters can be connected parallely to increase performance. Also three-phase operation is possible.
Load switch to other AC-current sources:
Automatic load switch: For smaller performance demands we recommend the Filax auto-switch. With its help computers and other sensitive electronic devices can be supplied free of interruptions as the switching times are very short (<20ms).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What makes the Victron Phoenix Inverter 12/3000 VE.Bus ideal for sensitive electronics?

As someone who’s helped hundreds of customers integrate this inverter into their setups, I can confidently say it’s the pure sine wave output that makes all the difference. This type of output mimics grid power, which means you can safely run sensitive electronics like laptops, medical devices, and communication equipment without risk of damage or interference.

2. Can I expand the system by connecting multiple inverters?

Absolutely. One of the most powerful features of the 12/3000 VE.Bus is its support for both parallel and three-phase configurations. We’ve installed this in applications where customers needed up to six inverters working together, either for extra output or to build a balanced three-phase supply. It’s a flexible option when you know your energy demands might grow over time.

3. How does VE.Bus communication improve system monitoring?

VE.Bus gives you advanced control and integration options. Using the MK2-USB interface, you can monitor and configure the inverter directly from a laptop. It also plays nicely with Victron’s VRM portal and other GX devices like the Cerbo GX, giving you real-time visibility and remote access to your entire power system—whether you’re on a boat in the Whitsundays or managing an off-grid cabin in the Snowys.
