The Phoenix Inverter 12/1200 120V is a Victron inverter for 12 V battery systems, with a Nema 5-15R outlet and a VE.Direct port. It is rated 1,200 VA at 25°C on a nonlinear load, gives 1,000 W of continuous AC output at 25°C and has a peak power rating of 2,200 W. Continuous power is 850 W at 40°C. Maximum efficiency is 91 %, and zero-load power is 10 W.
Our take
The 1,000 W continuous output at 25°C drops to 850 W at 40°C, so the rating shrinks as the compartment warms. Zero-load power is 10 W, which is what it draws from the battery with nothing plugged in.
From our buying guide
On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
