Inverter 12/250 VE.Direct Schuko
12/250 VE Converter.Direct Schuko Applications From laptops and coffee makers to battery chargers for tools: anything that occasionally requires 230 V runs on this. Compact enough for a delivery van, cabin, or meter cupboard, and economical enough to remain permanently connected to the battery bank. * 12 V motorhomes, delivery vans, and service vehicles * Sloops, sailboats, and smaller pleasure craft * Garden sheds, beach houses, and off-grid accommodations * Metering cabinets, telecom locations, and other small remote 230 V consumers * Backup for equipment that must continue operating during a power outage Power and starting behavior * 250 VA nominal; 200 W continuous at 25 °C, 175 W at 40 °C * 400 W peak power for starting currents of, for example, 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 87% 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. This reduces the no-load power from 4.2 W to 0.8 W, which, on a small battery bank, makes the difference between days and weeks of autonomy. The required 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 9.2 – 17 V * Low battery voltage shutdown default 9.3 V, adjustable * Restart and alarm at 10.9 V, battery charged detection at 14.0 V, both adjustable * Dynamic shutdown: the shutdown level follows the load, ensuring the battery bank continues to be utilized 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 30 Ah * Recommended DC cable: 4 mm² up to 1.5 m, 6 mm² for 1.5 to 3 m * Internal DC fuse 2 x 30 A (ATOF 32 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-pin plug, or between the battery positive terminal and its left contact — useful for switching in conjunction with the ignition switch in a vehicle * 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. 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.
