Description
Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/500 NEMA 5-15R: 500VA = 400 watts continuous
A 48V pure sine wave inverter from Victron Energy with 120V AC output.
Why the VA number isn't the watts: Victron rates its inverters in VA (volt-amps). This one delivers 400W continuous at 77°F (25°C) and 900W peak for motor and compressor start-up. Size your loads around 400W, not 500W. Compare all Victron inverters →
What it will run on a boat
At 400W it handles electronics and entertainment gear, satellite internet, LED lighting and small appliances that stay under its rating. Add up everything you'll run at the same time and leave 20–25% headroom.
Battery draw and wiring
At full continuous output it pulls roughly 9 amps from a 48V battery bank (400W ÷ 48V ÷ 91% efficiency). Size the battery cables, DC fuse and battery bank for that current. The manual lists Victron's recommended cable and fuse sizes for this model.
Mounting it in a hot engine room?
Continuous output drops as the temperature rises: 350W at 104°F (40°C). In the Keys an engine room or lazarette can easily run hotter than 104°F, so size for the hottest spot you'll mount it and give it airflow.
Idle draw at anchor
Switched on with nothing plugged in, it uses about 9W, roughly 4Ah per day from a 48V bank. ECO mode cuts that to 3 W when you don't need full power.
