Phoenix Inverter 12/500 120V VE.DIRECT NEMA
Phoenix Inverter 12/500 120V VE.DIRECT NEMA: Reliable and Efficient Power Conversion
The Phoenix Inverter 12/500 120V VE.DIRECT NEMA is a versatile and reliable inverter designed to provide high-quality power conversion for a wide range of applications. With its robust design and advanced features, this inverter ensures a stable and efficient power supply, making it ideal for both residential and commercial use. The Phoenix Inverter is equipped with a VE.Direct communication port, allowing for easy monitoring and configuration, and is built with proven reliability to withstand various conditions.
Advanced Communication and Monitoring
Seamless Integration with VE.Direct
The VE.Direct communication port allows the Phoenix Inverter to be connected to a computer, as well as Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. With the VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle, you can easily monitor and configure the inverter using your mobile devices. This inverter is fully configurable, allowing you to set low battery voltage alarm trip and reset levels, low battery voltage cut-off and restart levels, dynamic cut-off levels, output voltage, frequency, ECO mode settings, and more. Monitoring capabilities include in- and output voltage, load percentage, and alarms, ensuring you have full control and visibility over your power system.
Proven Reliability and High Start-Up Power
Designed for High Performance
The Phoenix Inverter features a full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology, which has proven its reliability over many years. This design makes the inverter short-circuit proof and protected against overheating due to overload or high ambient temperatures. With high start-up power, the inverter is capable of starting loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps, and electric tools, making it highly versatile for various applications.
ECO Mode and Remote On/Off
In ECO mode, the Phoenix Inverter switches to standby when the load decreases below a preset value, significantly reducing power consumption. The inverter will switch on for a short period to check the load, and if it exceeds a preset level, the inverter will remain on. This feature ensures energy efficiency without compromising performance. Additionally, a remote on/off switch can be connected to a two-pole connector, providing convenient control over the inverter’s operation.
Automatic Transfer Switch for Uninterrupted Power
For seamless power transfer, the Phoenix Inverter is compatible with the Filax Automatic Transfer Switch. The Filax features a very short switchover time (less than 20 milliseconds), ensuring that computers and other electronic equipment continue to operate without disruption during power transitions. This makes the Phoenix Inverter an excellent choice for applications where uninterrupted power is critical.
