Key features
- 3000 VA 12 V pure sine wave inverter: delivers up to 2400 W continuous at 25 °C with 6000 W peak for demanding start-ups.
- Adaptive 120 A 4-stage battery charger (bulk, absorption, float, storage) with temperature compensation for safe, fast charging.
- High-speed AC transfer: automatic switchover in <20 ms for UPS-class continuity to sensitive loads.
- Two AC outputs: uninterrupted output for priority loads plus an auxiliary output that disconnects on inverter power to protect non-essential loads.
- PowerControl: set a shore or generator current limit so charging automatically backs off to avoid tripping supplies.
- PowerAssist: boosts shore or generator power with inverter power during short peaks, then recharges the battery when the load drops.
- Expandable: up to 6 units in parallel for higher power. Configure for three-phase systems with matching models.
- Smart system options: remote monitoring and control with Victron GX devices and the free VRM portal. Programmable relay and communication ports for custom control.
- Second battery output: dedicated 4 A trickle charge for a starter battery.
- Efficient operation: up to 93% inverter efficiency, 20 W idle, 15 W in AES mode and as low as 8 W in Search mode.
Ideal applications
Off-grid systems, backup power for home offices and garden rooms, marine and motorhome electrical systems, mobile workshops and remote monitoring sites.
Additional intelligent functions
- Programmable relay for alarm or generator start/stop functions.
- BatterySafe & Storage modes to reduce gassing, prevent sulphation and extend battery life.
- Voltage sense and temperature sensor included for accurate charging at the battery terminals.
Delivery
- FREE 2–3 working days shipping if ordered by 5 pm on a working day (longer to the Scottish Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland).
