Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter 12/1200 120V VE.Direct GFCI (PIN122122510): a compact pure sine wave inverter with a GFCI outlet and UL 458 listing. Run 120V AC loads from your 12V battery bank with 1200 VA / 1000 W of continuous pure sine wave power and 2200 W peak for motor starts. The duplex GFCI outlet adds ground-fault protection, and GFCI models are UL 458 listed per Victron. ECO mode cuts standby draw to about 1 W, and adjustable low-battery shutdown protects your battery. Connect the VE.Direct port to a Bluetooth dongle, a GX device or a remote panel to set it up and monitor it. Backed by Victron's 5-year limited warranty.

⚡ Is It Right for Your System?

Built for 12V battery banks running standard 120V North American plug-in loads. Common uses:

Vans & RVs
Boats & sailboats
Work trucks & service bodies
Cabins & small off-grid setups
Golf carts & utility vehicles

📏 Quick check before you order:

Your battery bank is 12V (inverter input range 9.2–17 V). Victron recommends at least 150 Ah.
Your AC loads stay within 1000 W continuous at 25°C, with short surges up to 2200 W.
You'll plug loads into the GFCI duplex outlet. For hardwired AC panels, look at the Phoenix 3000 VE.Bus models in the table below.
This is an inverter only. It doesn't charge batteries or switch to shore power. For that, see our Victron MultiPlus inverter/chargers.
Plan for battery cables and a DC fuse sized per Victron's manual (not included).
Need UL for an RV, inspection or permit? This GFCI model is UL 458 listed.

Why Choose a Victron Phoenix VE.Direct Inverter

〰️

Pure Sine Wave Output

Clean 120V power for electronics, chargers, fridges and tools, with high start-up power for motor loads.

🌙

ECO Mode

With the switch on ECO, the inverter sleeps and checks for a load every few seconds, cutting standby draw to about 1 W. Wake-up load and interval are adjustable.

🔋

Battery Protection

Low-battery shutdown at 9.3 V and restart at 10.9 V by default, all adjustable in VictronConnect.

✅

GFCI & UL 458

The duplex GFCI outlet trips on ground faults, and GFCI models are UL 458 listed per Victron's datasheet.

📱

VE.Direct Connectivity

Add a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle for the VictronConnect app, or connect a Cerbo GX for remote monitoring on Victron's VRM portal.

🛡️

5-Year Victron Warranty

Victron covers it for 5 years from purchase by the original end user, and warranty claims go through us.

❓ Common Questions

Does it have Bluetooth?

Not built in. Add Victron's VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle to use the free VictronConnect app on your phone, or a VE.Direct-USB cable for a computer.

What does ECO mode do?

On ECO, the inverter switches off its output and checks for a load every few seconds. When you switch something on, it wakes up. Standby draw drops from about 10 W to about 1 W. Very small loads may not wake it, so the wake-up level is adjustable.

Will it start my fridge, pump or power tool?

Motors pull a short surge when they start. This model handles 1000 W continuous and up to 2200 W peak. Send us the appliance labels and we'll confirm.

Does it charge my batteries?

No, it's an inverter only. To charge from shore power or a generator and switch over automatically, look at our Victron MultiPlus inverter/chargers.

Is it UL listed?

Yes. Victron's datasheet lists UL 458 for the GFCI-outlet models, and Victron's UL 458 certificate (LabTest LC20760-1) is linked in the downloads above.

What's the difference between the GFCI and NEMA 5-15R versions?

The GFCI version has a duplex ground-fault outlet and carries UL 458. The NEMA 5-15R version has a single standard outlet and isn't UL listed. Power and features are otherwise the same.

What size cables and fuse do I need?

For this model, Victron's manual calls for 25 mm² (about 4 AWG) up to 1.5 m, 35 mm² (about 2 AWG) for 1.5–3 m. The internal 200 A fuse is user replaceable, and Victron recommends a battery of at least 150 Ah. Ask us and we'll spec your wiring.

How does the warranty work?

Victron covers it for 5 years from the original end user's purchase date. Warranty claims go through the place of purchase, so contact us and we'll handle it with Victron.
