The Victron Energy C12/1600 Inverter leverages cutting-edge SinusMax technology, offering a true sine wave output with exceptional efficiency. Designed for professional and demanding applications, this inverter is built to deliver power seamlessly to all types of loads, including those with high start-up requirements like refrigeration compressors and electric motors. The use of hybrid HF technology allows for a compact and lightweight design without compromising on performance, making it ideal for both residential and industrial use.
One of the standout features of the C12/1600 is its ability to provide very high start-up power. Unlike conventional inverters, which often struggle with high initial load demands, the C12/1600 handles them effortlessly, thanks to its superior SinusMax technology. This capability ensures that even the most challenging appliances start smoothly, enhancing reliability and reducing downtime in critical power applications.
The C12/1600 Inverter offers unparalleled scalability with the ability to operate in parallel and in a 3-phase configuration. Up to six units can be connected to achieve higher output power, making it possible to scale up to 24 kW / 30 kVA. This flexibility makes the inverter suitable for larger systems where higher power is essential, such as commercial setups or complex off-grid installations.
The C12/1600 is engineered for maximum efficiency, achieving up to 92% energy conversion. This high efficiency ensures optimal performance while reducing energy loss, which is crucial for off-grid and renewable energy systems. The inverter also features low power consumption modes, including AES and Search modes, which further optimise energy usage by significantly reducing idle power draw.
Safety and reliability are at the core of the C12/1600 design. The inverter is equipped with multiple protection mechanisms, including safeguards against output short circuits, overloads, and incorrect battery voltages. Additional protections for high temperatures and excessive input voltage ripple ensure that the inverter operates safely and reliably even under extreme conditions, safeguarding both the device and connected equipment.
The C12/1600 Inverter includes a VE.Bus communication port for seamless integration with Victron's suite of control and monitoring devices. Users can customise the inverter’s settings via VictronConnect or VEConfigure software, allowing fine-tuning of output voltage, frequency, and protection parameters. Integration with GX devices, such as the Cerbo GX, enables comprehensive monitoring and control, providing users with real-time data and remote management capabilities.
Constructed from high-quality aluminium with an IP21 protection rating, the C12/1600 is built to withstand challenging environments. Its compact dimensions (375 × 214 × 110 mm) and relatively light weight (10 kg) make installation straightforward, whether in confined spaces or mobile setups. The inverter’s fan-assisted cooling system ensures reliable operation across a wide temperature range, from -40 to +65 °C, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, from indoor installations to harsh outdoor conditions.
