Professional pure sine wave power for Australian 230V appliances

Designed for dependable off grid and mobile power, the Victron Phoenix inverter with VE.Direct converts 12V DC from your house battery system into stable 230V AC suitable for Australian and New Zealand plug loads. It is a practical choice for caravans, 4WD touring, marine electrical systems, service vehicles, and remote cabins where power quality, low standby draw, and clear fault information matter.

Unlike modified sine wave inverters that can cause audible noise, extra heat, or compatibility issues with sensitive equipment, this unit produces a pure sine wave output that better suits electronics such as chargers, laptops, networking gear, CPAP devices, and many modern appliances. The result is cleaner power delivery with fewer surprises when you plug in the devices you rely on.

Handles real world loads with high surge capability

Many loads draw a brief start up surge that is well above their running wattage. This inverter is engineered with a robust topology and high peak power capability to help start challenging loads such as chargers, laptops, LED lighting power supplies, and small power tools. For installers and experienced users, this reduces the risk of nuisance shutdowns and makes system sizing more forgiving when loads vary.

Energy aware operation with configurable ECO mode

In battery powered systems, idle consumption adds up. ECO mode helps minimise wasted energy by reducing power draw when the connected load is low, then quickly returning to normal operation when demand increases. Sensitivity and timing can be adjusted to suit your application, whether you are supporting always on standby loads or intermittent tool use.

Monitoring and configuration via VE.Direct

The integrated VE.Direct port enables monitoring and configuration using compatible Victron interfaces such as a computer connection or an optional Bluetooth dongle. This makes it easier to match inverter behaviour to your battery chemistry and operating preferences, including setting low voltage alarms, cut off and restart thresholds, and other key parameters. It is also a useful diagnostic tool for tracking input and output conditions, load level, and alarms during commissioning and troubleshooting.

Designed for safer, simpler installation

Installation is straightforward with secure screw terminal DC connections and a built in remote on off input for convenient control from a switch panel. The enclosure is intended for indoor or protected mounting locations and incorporates multiple electronic protections to help safeguard the inverter and connected equipment under fault conditions such as overload, short circuit, over temperature, and abnormal battery voltage.

Key features

  • Pure sine wave inverter output for cleaner, more compatible 230V AC power
  • 900W peak power support for motor start and other surge loads
  • VE.Direct communications for monitoring, configuration, and fault visibility
  • Configurable ECO mode to reduce consumption when loads are minimal
  • Remote on off capability for integrated system control
  • Fan assisted cooling with thermal protection for demanding Australian conditions

Ready to power your caravan, boat, or off grid cabin? Install this inverter close to your battery bank with appropriately sized cabling and protection, then connect your 230V appliances and monitor performance via VE.Direct for a clean, controlled off grid AC supply.

Dynamic low battery cut off is fully configurable when used with an optional Bluetooth dongle, helping protect battery health under varying loads and reducing nuisance shutdowns during high current surges.

Nothing Exceptional but Gets the Job Done
Color: Blue, Size: 4.3-Quart, Color: Blue, Size: 4.3-Quart
I’ve owned this 4.5 Qt. Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven for almost two months and have used it three times to date. Upon arrival and at first glance, the gradient blue color is beautiful and super glossy; most importantly, the pot is heavy for its size - as it should be. It looks exactly like the product pictures, with a globular shape than square shape as others. Unfortunately, I also noticed that there was one pin hole and two tiny uneven protrusions on the enamel inside the pot. I own three other enameled cast iron cookware from two other brands (photos attached for size comparison) and performance wise, this cast iron by Amazon performs equally to them. The pot isn’t exceptional or special but it gets the job done. Other than the pin holes and protrusions, I have no complaints. This isn’t my first rodeo so when heating up the pot and while cooking, I have zero issues. I am starting the pan off at 4-Stars and will update my review as time progresses, or if I have any major issues with its durability or performance in subsequent months. For the amateur home cook, or for anyone who is new to cast iron cooking, below I’ve included tips that you may find useful while using this or any other enameled cast iron cookware. ================================ Regarding the 3 Photos and 1 video I've Attached: (Note: all photos were taken with an iPhone under kitchen lights during the evening. Photos have not been edited nor enhanced.) Photo 1: Size comparison of this Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven compared to three other enameled cast iron cookware that I own from two other brands. From left to right: 7 qt. Tramontina, 4.5 qt. Amazon, 3 qt. Lodge 4 qt. Tramontina. Photos 2 and 3: fresh produce shown next to 4.5qt Amazon Dutch Oven for color and size contrast. Video: 4.5 qt. Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven on gas stove over medium heat, with food cooking. ================================ TIPS THAT YOU MAY FIND USEFUL While Using your cast iron dutch oven: (Note: I included these similar tips in my review of a different enameled cast iron pot from a different brand. My tips can apply to all enameled cast iron cookware) 1. If you find that you have issues with food sticking, it could be that you are not heating up your cast iron pot properly to prevent undue hot spots. I heat my pot up gradually starting at low, then medium, then high heat. After my pot is very hot is when I add my fat/cooking oil. As the oil is heating up in the pot, I lift it and swirl the oil around to coat all sides of the pot that will come in contact with food. 2. Take into consideration the temperature of the items you are adding to your heated pot. As a general rule for cooking: when ever possible, ensure that the items you are adding to a hot pot are at room temperature, rather than ice cold from the fridge; this will assist with even cooking. 3. Also, get comfortable with adjusting your heat by lowering and raising it based on what you’ve added to the pot. In general, you will need more heat at the beginning of the cooking process, and less heat towards the end. If you cook by recipe, I highly recommend that you read all the steps ahead before starting, so that you become familiarized with all the procedures, allowing you to maneuver accordingly when you start cooking. 4. At the exception of searing meat to achieve a brown crust, deep frying, or when caramelizing onions, you should be stirring your pot (I recommend using a wooden spoon) every few minutes when cooking in cast iron that is placed over high heat. If you are braising on the stove at low heat versus braising in the oven, the frequency of your stirring will need to be adjusted. No matter how you’re cooking though, a watchful eye on the pot plus stirring, should both be a habit not an afterthought. 5. For all cooking vessels in general but especially for cast iron: after cooking, allow your pot to cool down completely before cleaning. NEVER immerse a hot cast iron pot into cold water, nor pour cold dish water into hot pot. You risk not only being scald by dangerous steam, but you also risk weakening the enamel, therefore lessening the durability of your pots over time. 6. This cookware and others like it from Tramontina and Lodge are economical and if used correctly, will perform well for most cooking; if used correctly, they should also last for years. Nonetheless, if you can afford it, authentic enameled cast iron cookware made in France by Le Creuset is the best way to go. Le Creuset is the gold standard in cast iron cookware and their quality is second to none. I definitely recommend this Amazon dutch oven but if you can afford to splurge, Le Creuset's reputation is stellar. As a professional chef, I've used them in high end kitchens and their quality and performance is premier.

Nice BIG enameled cast iron dutch oven. like LeCreuset but costs less
Color: Blue, Size: 6-Quart
This is nice quality, similar to the far more costly French LeCreuset brand. I was surprised how big this model is, possibly too big for my small kitchen and limited storage space. I store it in the oven. It would be great for baking sourdough boule bread.
