INTRODUCTION
Victron Energie has acquired international fame in the field of developing and
producing electrical power supply systems. Thanks to the constant efforts of the
development department in particular, Victron Energie obtain this world fame.
This department is involved in research into and execution of facilities for
implementing new technologies that can make significant technical and
economic contributions to Victron Energie products.
This proven philosophy has resulted in the development of a complete series of
power supply equipment incorporating the latest technical developments.
Victron Energie equipment meets the most stringent standards and regulations.
The range of high quality, dependable Inverters and Battery Chargers produced
by Victron Energie can be used to generate 230Vac power in places where no
permanent connection to mains electricity is available.
By using Victron Energie’s products, an automatic 'stand-alone' power system
can be created. Chosing the ‘Phoenix Combi’ in addition to powerful batteries
for this type of system is often an ideal solution. The Phoenix Combi consists of
a fully automatic battery charger, a sine-wave inverter and an automatic
switchover device.
Victron Energie equipment is suitable for all types of electrical equipment for
domestic, industrial and specialist use, including instruments susceptible to
interference. Victron Energie systems are high quality energy sources that
guarantee fault-free operation.
Phoenix Combi
This manual describes the installation, operation and the practical use of the
Phoenix Combi. This manual also provides information about protection devices
and the technical specifications of the Phoenix Combi.

1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 General
All Phoenix Combi’s are extensively tested before leaving the factory. This
guarantees correct operation. For the purposes of transport the equipment
packed in shock-absorbing polystyrene foam and a rigid cardboard carton.
The Phoenix Combi has a rigid aluminium housing, suitable for floor and wall
mounting. The AC and DC terminals along with the connections for remote
control (optional) are accessible via the front of the housing. The front panel
can be removed using a screwdriver.
1.2 Phoenix Combi
The model name of the Phoenix Combi is composed of the following elements:
Example: Phoenix Combi 12/1600/75
"12" = 12 Volt battery voltage.
"1600" = 1600 Watt continuous output power.
“75” = 75 Ampere continuous charging current.
The Phoenix Combi is suitable for use with either
12Vdc or 24Vdc systems depending on the model
chosen.
The inverter supplies a pure sinusoidal voltage of
230 Vac, 50/60 Hz (crystal-controlled). The
inverter and the battery charger supply the specified
output power or charging current.
The Phoenix Combi uses high frequency switching technology in combination
with a low frequency transformer, which results in a high output and a high
start-up power for the inverter. The ‘no-load’ power consumption is described
in section 6.
