victron pheonix 1200 or Renology 1000w?
- Thread starter djgriff
- Start date
I've got both...
And both are very good..
But use different tech inside.
Victron is bigger and heavier as they use transformers.
Renogy use MOSFETs, so smaller and lighter.
Both have a remote on/off option.
But only the Victron has the remote app monitoring via the Bluetooth ve direct port.
The Renogy is cheaper.
The Victron is more expensive, but has a proven quality history.
....
Fwiw....
I've had issues with some inverters moaning and showing errors with surge blips.... And shutting down. ( Eg 800w load on a 1000w inverter, but micro blips over the 1k, but under the total surge rating... A lot of inverters shut down)
The Renogy sailed through the testing and sucked up any small blips.

What did you want to run?

You need to check the spec on that microwave.
The 700w will be the running wattage.
Microwaves will have a massive surge on startup, possibly twice the running wattage.
The Renogy might trip?
The Victron may deal with it better (as they are short circuit proof)
It will be a case of try an see.

startup surge could be double.
@czmate1999 runs a small microwave.
i think runs twin 100ah lithiums and a 2000w inverter.
@czmate1999 - whats size inverter is yours?

@czmate1999 - whats size inverter is yours?
I've got pretty much the same van as @czmate1999 (both Three Bridge jobs) with an induction hob and oven/grill/microwave combo, twin 100Ah lithiums and an NDS 3,000W pure sine inverter. All works fine, but it all pulls a scary amount of current if I'm cooking a full English!! I uprated from the 2kW because of the induction hob, so with 3kW I guess I've got enough to allow for the microwave surge on start up.
out of the two above inverters i would more more inclined to say the Victron will be better as it can surge + 200%..
i have the VE direct port BT adapter. . .

Thanks, i'll pickup a Victron 1200 then, Is it worth getting the bluetooth dongle?
thanks for the advice guys appreciated!

That prob wont be enough for your microwave, as a general rule you double the microwave wattage to get your required invertor size
I think the average microwave runs at about 1.8 times the microwave power so yours will likely be 700*1.8 so around 1260 so defo need to double check the specs/ratings and prob go upto a 1.5kw invertor

Here is the MW - 800w
Inverter - NDS 2000W Pure Sine Inverter with Priority Switch
Touch wood. Never had any issues.
