SCHUKO 12/1600 230V VE Direct Converter
12/1600 230V VE.Direct Converter SCHUKO Applications The heaviest model in the VE.Direct series, operating at a system voltage that halves the cabling. 1450 W continuous is sufficient for a microwave, a hot plate, or tools, and 1600 W remains available for one hour. * 24 V trucks, work vans, and service vehicles * Motor yachts, work vessels, and larger sailboats * Holiday homes, chalets, and off-grid accommodations * Mobile workplaces and measurement setups with heavier loads * Backup for equipment that must continue operating during a power outage Power and starting behavior * 1450 W continuous at 25 °C, 1300 W at 40 °C * 1600 W for one hour (cold start) * 2100 W peak power for 15 seconds for starting currents of motors, pumps, 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 periodically scans whether there is demand again. The minimum generating power is 15 W by default and the scanning interval is adjustable. Consequently, the no-load power drops from 14 W to 2 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 18.4 – 34 V * Low battery voltage shutdown default 18.6 V, adjustable * Restart and alarm at 21.8 V, battery charged detection at 28 V, both adjustable * Dynamic shutdown: the shutdown level follows the load, configurable per battery type in VictronConnect * Protected against short circuit, overload, over- and under-battery voltage, over-temperature, and excessive DC ripple voltage Do not use dynamic shutdown in an installation where other consumers are also connected to the same battery bank: the inverter cannot account for this load and will shut down prematurely with an undervoltage alarm. VE.Direct port * Read out and configure via VictronConnect on a smartphone or tablet using a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle * Connection to a PC via a VE.Direct-to-USB interface cable, or with a GX device * Configurable: output voltage 210 – 230 V, frequency 50 or 60 Hz, ECO threshold and scan interval, alarm and trip levels, dynamic trip curve per battery type * Monitoring of input and output voltage, load percentage, and alarms; firmware update via the app Connection and mounting * Schuko socket (CEE 7/4) on the device * DC side on screw terminals, maximum cable cross-section 25 mm²; battery cables are not included * Connection for an external on/off switch on the two-pole plug, or between the battery positive terminal and the left contact thereof * Battery alarm for excessive or low battery voltage, acoustic and visual, with relay for remote notification * Protection class IP21; Dry, indoor installation only * Operating temperature -40 to +65 °C with fan cooling; above 40 °C, power decreases by 1.25% per °C. Can be ordered directly with this * Victron VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle (https://shop.top.systems/monitoring-controle/draadloos/victron-ve-direct-bluetooth-smart-dongle.html) (ASS030536011) — read out and configure via VictronConnect.
