Victron Energy Inverter 48/1600 120V VE.Direct NEMA 5-15R - PIN482161500

The Victron Energy Inverter 48/1600 120V VE.Direct NEMA 5-15R, manufacturer part number PIN482161500, is a high-performance pure sine wave inverter designed to convert electricity from a nominal 48V DC battery system into dependable 120V AC power. Featuring a 1600VA product class, programmable ECO mode, VE.Direct communication, and advanced electrical protection, this inverter provides a versatile power conversion solution for off-grid solar installations, battery backup systems, marine applications, remote cabins, and mobile electrical equipment.

Engineered for demanding battery-powered applications, the Victron 48/1600 delivers 1500W continuous output at 25°C and 1350W at 40°C according to Victron's current 120V VE.Direct manual. Its high startup power capability supports compatible appliances, electronic equipment, lighting power supplies, and other AC loads that require additional energy when starting.

The inverter also includes remote on/off functionality and protective features for output short circuits, overload, excessive battery voltage, low battery voltage, overheating, and excessive DC ripple. Its durable enclosure and configurable electrical operation make it a practical component for professionally designed off-grid and battery-powered AC systems.

Important: The PIN482161500 is a 48V DC to 120V AC standalone inverter. It does not include battery charging, solar MPPT charging, or an integrated automatic AC transfer switch. These functions require separate compatible equipment.
