The range covers 24V and 48V DC input versions, with either a NEMA 5-15R or NEMA GFCI AC outlet, so the unit can be matched to the vessel battery system and outlet requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the 1200VA size, this inverter is rated for 1000W continuous output at 25°C, 850W at 40°C, and 2200W peak power. The 120V AC output can operate at 50Hz or 60Hz, and the VE.Direct port supports setup and monitoring through compatible Victron accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits boats that need dependable AC power from a house battery bank for chargers, electronics, small tools, and other loads within the inverter rating. The IP21 enclosure and fan assisted cooling make it a fit for protected interior mounting locations such as electrical lockers, cabins, and dry equipment compartments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConverts 24V or 48V DC battery power, depending on variant, to 120V AC output for onboard AC loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1200VA inverter rating with 1000W continuous output at 25°C, 850W at 40°C, and 2200W peak power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVE.Direct port supports configuration and monitoring when paired with the correct VE.Direct cable or Bluetooth Smart dongle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurable settings include low battery alarm levels, cut-off and restart levels, output voltage, frequency, and ECO mode behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECO mode reduces standby consumption and uses adjustable stop and start power settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote on\/off connection supports control from a helm switch, electrical panel, or equipment locker location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in protection covers output short circuit, overload, high or low battery voltage, high temperature, and excessive DC ripple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP21 enclosure uses a steel chassis, plastic cover, and screw-terminal battery connection for fixed installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with either NEMA 5-15R or NEMA GFCI outlet options for North American 120V AC systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is offered in four configurations. The differences are the DC input voltage and the AC outlet style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 24V and 48V versions share the same 1200VA inverter class, 120V AC output, VE.Direct communication, IP21 enclosure rating, remote on\/off capability, and 2200W peak rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePIN242120500: 24V DC input with NEMA 5-15R AC outlet.

A 24V model is for a 24V DC system, while a 48V model is for a 48V DC system. These are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 120V AC version is intended for North American style AC loads. The outlet selection changes the receptacle on the inverter, while the core inverter function remains the same across the listed variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the installation as a fixed DC-to-AC power device mounted close to the battery bank, with short DC cable runs, access to the outlet, and room around the case for airflow. The battery side uses screw terminals, and the 24V and 48V 1200VA models accept up to 25mm² or AWG4 battery cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct connection is useful when the inverter is installed away from the helm or main panel. With the proper accessory, the system can be monitored and configured without needing to access the unit directly each time settings or status need to be checked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMarine environment and placement\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IP21 rating means this inverter belongs in a protected dry location rather than an exposed cockpit, wet bilge, or locker that takes spray. It can operate from -40°C to +65°C with fan assisted cooling, with output derating above 40°C, so ventilation still matters in warm machinery spaces and compact electrical lockers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe steel chassis and plastic cover help the unit suit fixed installations, but it should still be mounted where it is protected from salt spray, dripping water, and loose gear. A clean mounting area also keeps the terminals, cooling path, and outlet easier to inspect during routine service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"24V \/ NEMA 5-15R","offer_id":52581861851317,"sku":"QBP809274-V1","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"24V \/ NEMA GFCI","offer_id":52581861884085,"sku":"QBP809274-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"48V \/ NEMA 5-15R","offer_id":52581861916853,"sku":"QBP809274-V3","price":420.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"48V \/ NEMA GFCI","offer_id":52581861949621,"sku":"QBP809274-V4","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1336185_qbp809274.webp?v=1780200829","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp809274","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
