- High Surge Capacity: Delivers peak power up to 900W, allowing it to handle demanding loads with high inrush currents, such as refrigerators, compressors, or power tools.
- ECO Mode: Enhances energy efficiency by automatically switching the inverter to standby mode when the load is low and resuming operation when the load increases, reducing unnecessary power consumption.
- Robust Design: Features a proven full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology, ensuring high reliability and protection against short circuits, overloads, and overheating.
- Compact and Lightweight: Easy to install and transport, making it suitable for both fixed and mobile applications.
Product Overview:
The Phoenix Inverter 12/500 is built for reliability and efficiency, offering a pure sine wave output that is suitable for powering sensitive electronics and heavy-duty appliances alike. Its high surge capacity ensures smooth startup of devices with significant inrush currents, such as electric motors or power tools.
The integrated VE.Direct communication port provides users with real-time monitoring and the ability to configure various settings. Whether connecting via a USB interface to a computer or using Bluetooth with a smartphone, users can adjust parameters like ECO mode settings, low-battery cutoff levels, and output frequency to tailor the inverter to their specific needs.
In ECO mode, the inverter minimizes energy waste by entering standby mode when the load drops below a predefined threshold. It periodically checks the load, resuming operation automatically if the load increases, making it an ideal choice for off-grid or battery-powered systems where energy conservation is critical.
The full bridge plus toroidal transformer design ensures consistent performance and durability, protecting the inverter from adverse conditions like short circuits, overloads, and high ambient temperatures. This robust construction guarantees long-lasting and reliable operation.
