Victron inverter 12/2k5 230V Smart
Victron Inverter 12/2k5 230V Smart For powering 230V equipment from a 12V battery bank in commercial vehicles, motorhomes, boats, and off-grid applications. The high starting reserve of the toroidal transformer absorbs the starting current of motors, power tools, and LED lighting. The ECO mode limits self-consumption at low or no load, relevant for prolonged standby. Battery voltage Suitable for 12V battery banks with an input range of 9.3-17V. The output delivers 230 VAC pure sine wave, adjustable from 210-245 VAC at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The shutdown and restart voltage and the pre-alarm are adjustable via VictronConnect. Dynamic shutdown adjusts the shutdown voltage to the load. This is possible for OPzV/OPzS, GEL/AGM, and LiFePO4, but not for a battery bank that also powers other consumers. Continuous output 2400W at 25°C, 2200W at 40°C, and 1500W at 65°C. During a cold start, 2500W is available for 2 hours and 3200W for 15 minutes, with a 4000W peak for 5 seconds. This is the 2500VA model, also known as 12/2500. The no-load consumption is 10W, or 1.3W in ECO mode. Phases Single-phase only. Parallel connection and a 3-phase setup are not supported. Connectability The unit cannot be connected to other inverters. A built-in transfer switch is missing: for automatic switching between shore power or a generator and the inverter, an external automatic transfer switch is required, or you can choose an inverter/charger. Composition Full bridge with toroidal transformer in a steel housing. Short-circuit proof and protected against overload, low and high battery voltage, overheating, AC voltage on the output, and high DC ripple. Construction There is no internal fuse: an external 400A fuse in the positive cable is mandatory. Battery connection with M8 bolts, AC output on screw terminals (L, N, PE). The neutral is connected to the chassis so that a residual current device on the output functions correctly. Protection class IP21, therefore only for a dry room. Mounting Intended for vertical wall mounting. Horizontal mounting is possible, but the unit will cool less effectively. Keep at least 10 cm of clearance all around, place it close to the battery bank but never above it, and use a 1x 95mm² battery cable up to 5 m. A cable length of 5-10 m is not recommended. Tighten battery terminals to a maximum of 11Nm. Communication With the built-in Bluetooth, you configure and read out the device in the VictronConnect app on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Monitoring in the VRM Portal – Victron Energy (https://vrm.victronenergy.com/login) is possible via the VE.Direct port and a GX device or GlobalLink 520. Remote switching on and off is possible via the remote on/off connector, a BMS, or a GX device. The programmable relay can start a generator, control a fan, or transmit an alarm.

No, parallel connection and a 3-phase setup are not supported. Which fuse and battery cable are required? An external 400A fuse and 1x 95mm² battery cable up to 5 m. There is no internal fuse; a cable length of 5-10 m is not recommended. Does a residual current device operate on the AC output? Yes, the neutral is connected to the chassis so that a residual current device functions correctly. For a floating neutral, that connection must be removed. How much power does the inverter consume without load? 10W in normal operation and 1.3W in ECO mode. The on/off level of ECO mode is adjustable in VictronConnect. Can the inverter be switched off via a BMS? Yes, via the remote on/off connector. The unit switches on when H is connected to L, H to the battery positive, or L to the battery negative. Is reading data in the VRM Portal possible? Yes, via a VE.Direct cable to a GX device such as the Victron Cerbo GX MK2 (https://shop.top.systems/monitoring-controle/bedieningspanelen/victron-cerbo-gx-mk2.html), BPP900450110, or to a GlobalLink 520. Does the inverter automatically switch to shore power? No, a transfer switch is not built-in. An external automatic transfer switch or an inverter/charger is required for this. Can the inverter be mounted horizontally? Yes, but the unit will cool less effectively. Vertical wall mounting with at least 10 cm of clearance around it is the intended setup. Is 60 Hz or another output voltage adjustable? Yes, the frequency is 50 Hz or 60 Hz and the output voltage is adjustable from 210-245 VAC.
