Inverter 48/500 VE.Direct Schuko
Inverter 48/500 VE.Direct Schuko Applications Sufficient power for a refrigerator plus some small appliances, powered by a 48 V battery bank. The DC current remains below 10 A, so thin cables and a compact fuse. With ECO mode, the quiescent power consumption drops to around three watts. * Off-grid and home battery systems at 48 V * Telecom locations, meter cabinets, and pump installations in rural areas * Holiday homes, chalets, and recreational homes without a grid connection * Larger vessels with a 48 V battery bank on board * Backup for equipment that must continue operating during a power outage Power and starting behavior * 500 VA nominal; 400 W continuous at 25 °C, 350 W at 40 °C * 900 W peak power for starting currents of LED drivers, incandescent lamps, and power tools * Pure sine wave, suitable for sensitive electronics * Full bridge with toroidal transformer; Short-circuit proof and protected against overheating due to overload or high ambient temperature * Maximum efficiency 91% ECO mode If the load drops below the set threshold, the inverter switches to standby and scans every 2.5 seconds by default to see if there is demand again. The minimum generating power is 15 W by default; both values are adjustable. Consequently, the no-load power drops from 9 W to 3 W. The correct setting depends heavily on the type of load: inductive, capacitive, or non-linear. Expect a brief on-site adjustment. Battery monitoring and shutdown * Input voltage range 36.8 – 62.0 V * Low battery voltage shutdown default 37.2 V, adjustable * Restart and alarm at 43.6 V, battery charged detection at 56.0 V, both adjustable * Dynamic shutdown: the shutdown level follows the load, allowing the battery bank to continue utilizing under light load * Protected against short circuit, overload, over- and under-battery voltage, over-temperature, and excessive DC ripple voltage, with automatic restart VE.Direct port * Read out and configure via VictronConnect on smartphone or tablet with a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle * Connection to a PC via a VE.Direct-to-USB interface cable * Adjustable: output voltage 210 – 245 V, frequency 50 or 60 Hz, ECO threshold and search interval, alarm and shutdown levels * Monitoring of battery voltage, AC output voltage, load indication, and alarms Connection and mounting * Schuko socket (CEE 7/4) on the device * DC side on screw terminals, maximum cable cross-section 10 mm²; battery cables are not included * Minimum battery capacity 20 Ah * Recommended DC cable: 4 mm² up to 1.5 m, 6 mm² for 1.5 to 3 m * Internal DC fuse 30 A (FKS 80 V), non-replaceable; for a DC cable longer than 1.5 m, an additional fuse or DC circuit breaker close to the battery bank is mandatory * Connection for an external on/off switch on the two-pole plug, or between the battery positive terminal and its left contact * Can be mounted vertically or horizontally with four screws, minimum 10 cm clearance all around; IP21 applies only with flush mounting according to the manual; in other positions IP20 * Connecting the battery cables in reverse will cause the internal fuse to blow and may damage the device.
