Victron Energy375VA 12-Volt 120V AC Pure Sine Wave Inverter

use this inverter as a dedicated starlink power source, with the blue tooth dongle so easy to moniter power input and output. This inverter is used in a marine environment, and now instead of always running my main large inverter, i use this small one most of the time to power starlink, television, computer, ect, saving large inverter and saving power.couldn't be happier, works as or better than described

I purchased the 375VA 120V 60Hz north america plug version. It works flawlessly with a device I have that uses 280W.I monitored the output with a Fluke 115:No load: 119.7 V, 60.31 HzSmall load (camera powered by AC adapter): 119.7 V, 60. 31 Hz280 W load: 119.6 V, 60.30 HzA word on eco mode: Eco mode detects power useage (must be >25W and must use >25W at the first moment plugged in and consistently after that) and turns the inverter off if power isn't being used. When the inverter is "off", it's working 20 - 25% of the time to provide a AC voltage for a short time and monitor if anything is using current. You may find this incompatible with a lot of things. For example, the 280W device I mentioned doesn't consistently use 280W, and when you immediately plug it in, it uses ~10W. So, if I try to use this 280W device with eco mode, it is not detected as drawing enough power.When I first saw the eco mode option, I immediately assumed it would be what I use for time lapses when this is powering my camera. However, that is another example of a device that is incompatible with the eco mode. So, how does it perform when I just use the "on" mode?I'm comparing to a step-wave inverter (Duracell Cyberpower) which is designed to plug into a 12 V cigarette lighter socket in a car. I would assume that this small inverter would be one of the most efficient, as it's tiny, generates little heat, and doesn't generate a pure sine wave (I assume - this could be incorrect - that more energy is required to generate a pure sine wave than a stepped wave). I powered both inverters for 12 hours with my camera plugged in and idling as a load, to get an idea of which inverter would kill the battery faster while making a time lapse. I measured current drawn at the beginning of the 12 hour period, and the amount of current-hours the charger put back into the battery to get it back to its fully charged state after the 12 hour period:Victron Phoenix0.487 A6384 mAhDuracell Cyberpower0.422 A3090 mAhSo, over a 12 hour period and with a small load, the Victron Phoenix pure sine wave inverter used approximately twice as much current.I don't have a way to view the output waveform and verify that it is a pure sine wave inverter, but nothing points to it not being one.

I got this small inverter to provide clean pure-sinewave power to a Starlink internet system that we use RV traveling. The ability to turn it on/off via Bluetooth control (with the optional BT wiring module) allows the unit to be mounted wherever is best instead of limiting it to where it can be reached. We can turn wifi on/off while sitting outside at the campfire or even lying in bed. Great feature! The unit itself is quiet, puts out steady, clean power, and appears quality in every way.

I have a remote, unpowered spot with water on my land that I wanted to use a multi-station sprinkler controller to run a garden's irrigation, so I set up a solar panel kit (100W) with a deep cycle battery (80AH total, figure that's 40AH usable).I could've laid in a power line with 150' of conduit in very rocky soil from my shop, but this seemed funner and cheaper.Originally I used a more typical inverter like you might use in your car, but it proved to be unreliable with random shut-offs.This VE unit has a very low power draw at no-load (5W) and has an optional eco mode that can reduce that significantly. My particular application can't make use of the eco mode as the sprinkler controller always pulls a current (only 5va though) and there's nothing for the inverter to "wake up" to like a more significant draw.There's an optional bluetooth dongle you can use with their app to fine-tune some parameters (particularly the eco mode), and see the current DC load, AC output voltage and DC input voltage. I think it's really handy because I can trivially check the health of the system without going to my shop to grab a meter.It's shown me that my sprinkler controller pulls 5va at the normal no-valves-running state, 11va with one valve running, and 15va with two running (one station which is wired to two valves together - this much works but don't try three, most controllers don't have the juice to run that).

I bought this small inverter to run a small refrigerator and recharge batteries. Also like the economy setting that reduces idle consumption on the solar batteries.

This inverter does not work. I contacted Victron corporate for support help and they basically told me to get lost. These seem like quality products and they certainly have a premium price tag. But support does not exist. HORRIBLE vendor!
