{"product_id":"qbp511000","title":"Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter, 3000VA, 120V AC, VE.Bus, Pure Sine Wave","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter 3000VA 120V VE.Bus is a pure sine wave inverter for converting DC battery power into 120VAC, 60Hz power on board. It is built for high-demand 12V or 24V battery systems, with a 3000VA rating, 2400W continuous output at 25°C, and 6000W peak power for start-up loads such as refrigeration compressors, pumps, and other motor-driven equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis inverter is a strong fit for boats that need household-style AC power away from shore power, whether the load is galley equipment, cabin electronics, tools, or onboard systems that need stable sine wave output. The VE.Bus port also makes it suitable for more involved installations, including parallel, split-phase, three-phase, remote monitoring, and system integration with compatible Victron interfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure sine wave 120VAC, 60Hz output for AC loads and electronics that do not tolerate rough inverter power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3000VA capacity with 2400W continuous output at 25°C, 2200W at 40°C, and 6000W peak power for short start-up demands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable for 12V and 24V DC battery banks, with each version using a voltage range matched to the battery system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVE.Bus communication port supports parallel operation, split-phase operation, three-phase operation, remote monitoring, and integration with compatible GX devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable relay can be used for alarm signaling, DC under-voltage signaling, or generator start and stop control in a properly planned system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote on-off support makes it easier to place the inverter in an electrical compartment while controlling it from a more accessible location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium enclosure with IP21 protection, 2+2 M8 battery connections, and screw terminals for the 120VAC connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for operation from -40°C to +65°C, with humidity tolerance up to 95% non-condensing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis inverter range is offered in two DC input configurations so it can match the vessel’s battery bank voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main difference between the variants is the DC input voltage and accepted input range. Both versions supply 120VAC at 60Hz, share the same 3000VA rating, and have the same 6000W peak power rating, while maximum efficiency and Search mode idle draw differ slightly by voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePIN123020100: 12V DC input. This version is for 12V battery banks and accepts 9.5 to 17VDC, with 93% maximum efficiency and 8W zero-load power in Search mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePIN243020100: 24V DC input. This version is for 24V battery banks and accepts 19 to 33VDC, with 94% maximum efficiency and 10W zero-load power in Search mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall the inverter in a dry, protected electrical space with enough airflow for heat to leave the enclosure. The IP21 rating is suitable for protected interior mounting, not for exposed deck, cockpit, or bilge locations where spray, washdown water, or standing moisture can reach the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBattery cabling, over-current protection, grounding, and AC wiring should be sized for the vessel’s electrical standards and the expected load. Because this is an inverter, shore-power transfer and battery charging need to be handled by the rest of the onboard power system when those functions are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Bus connection gives installers a practical path for larger AC systems, including multiple inverter setups and monitoring through compatible Victron control hardware. A compatible VE.Bus to USB interface can be used for configuration, while compatible GX devices can bring the inverter into a broader onboard monitoring system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor marine electronics installations, VE.Bus can also be connected to a NMEA 2000 network through a compatible interface. That is useful on boats where inverter status and power-system information need to be viewed alongside other helm or systems data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis range makes sense for cruising boats, fishing boats, and workboats with a dedicated house battery bank and a need for dependable 120VAC power away from the dock. It is especially relevant where start-up loads are part of normal use, such as refrigeration, pumps, small tools, or appliances that draw more power for a short period when they first start.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"12V","offer_id":52581957992629,"sku":"QBP511000-V1","price":1154.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24V","offer_id":52581958025397,"sku":"QBP511000-V6","price":1154.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1336170_qbp511000.jpg?v=1780201752","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp511000","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
