Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/2000 230V Smart

The Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/2000 230V Smart is a pure sine wave inverter designed for off-grid, marine, vehicle and backup power applications. It converts 48V DC battery power to 230V AC at 2000VA continuous output, with Bluetooth built in for monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app. Suited to professional installers and system integrators working on standalone or battery-based power systems.

Key Features

• 2000VA continuous output at 230V AC from a 48V DC battery bank.
• Pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics, motors and compressors.
• Built-in Bluetooth via VE.Direct, enabling wireless monitoring and configuration through the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
• PowerAssist capability allows the inverter to supplement an AC source when load demand exceeds available supply.
• Adjustable low battery shutdown, restart and alarm thresholds to protect battery health.
• Overload and short circuit protection with automatic restart after fault clearance.
• Low idle power consumption with Energy Saver mode, reducing draw when loads are light or absent.
• Compatible with Victron GX devices and the wider Victron ecosystem for integration into larger monitored systems.

Product Overview

The Phoenix 48/2000 Smart produces a true sine wave output, which means it is compatible with the full range of AC loads including inductive loads such as motors, pumps and compressors, as well as sensitive electronics that would be damaged or disrupted by a modified sine wave. At 2000VA, it can handle substantial continuous loads while the peak power capacity covers motor start-up surges.

The "Smart" designation refers to the integrated Bluetooth module. Using VictronConnect, an installer or system owner can read live data, adjust protection thresholds, configure Energy Saver mode and review historical alarms without needing a physical connection to the unit. This is particularly useful during commissioning or fault-finding on installed systems where the inverter may not be easily accessible.

The 48V input voltage makes this inverter well suited to larger battery banks where a higher bus voltage reduces cable losses and improves overall system efficiency. It can be used as a standalone inverter or integrated with Victron MPPT charge controllers, BMV battery monitors and GX devices to form a fully monitored off-grid or backup power system.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Off-grid cabins, lodges and remote buildings requiring reliable 230V AC power from a 48V battery bank.
• Marine vessels with 48V DC systems needing 230V AC for onboard appliances and equipment.
• Vehicle conversions including motorhomes, expedition vehicles and mobile workshops.
• Backup power systems for critical loads such as communications equipment, medical devices or refrigeration.
• Solar storage systems where the inverter operates alongside MPPT charge controllers and a GX monitoring device.

Installation Notes

Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring. The 48V DC input requires correctly rated DC cabling, fusing and a suitable battery bank. The AC output must not be connected to the public grid without appropriate isolation and protection. VictronConnect (free iOS and Android app) is required for Bluetooth configuration and threshold adjustment. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent thermal shutdown under sustained load.
