Inverter 12/500 – 230 V 50 Hz – code: 02-80-10502 – Mastervolt

Mastervolt 12/500 Inverter – 230 V 50 Hz (code 02-80-10502)

The’Mastervolt 12/500 Inverter is a compact solution to convert the energy available from a battery to 12 V into power supply 230 V – 50 Hz, useful when alternating current is needed onboard or in technical systems where a 12 V battery is present. The product is identified by code 02-80-10502 and is designed for neat integration in panels and onboard installations, with signaling functions via LED display and alarm management.

The output waveform is declared pure sine wave, a feature suitable for powering loads that require stable voltage quality. The inverter also features galvanic isolation and AC connections of type universal, to facilitate connection in different application contexts.

Main features and details

AC output and voltage quality

• Output voltage: 230 V – 50 Hz (± 0,1%).
• Waveform: pure sine wave.
• AC connection: universal.
• Galvanic isolation: yes.

The combination of 230 V/50 Hz output and pure sine wave makes the inverter suitable for many AC loads typical of onboard systems and battery-powered technical applications.

DC input and battery

• Nominal battery voltage: 12 V.
• Recommended battery capacity: 100 Ah.

The nominal 12 V voltage allows use with battery systems common in the nautical field. The recommended capacity helps properly size the storage according to the intended use.

Power and efficiency

• Continuous power at 25 °C / 77 °F (cos phi 1): 500 W.
• Continuous power at 40 °C / 104 °F (cos phi 1): 400 W.
• Peak power (5 s): 800 W.
• Efficiency: 90%.

The declared powers at different temperatures provide a useful reference for evaluating use in technical compartments and environments with variable ventilation. The peak power for short intervals supports loads with initial surges, within the limits indicated by the manufacturer.

Interface, indicators and protections

• Display/readings: LED display.
• Alarms: 4 alarm modes.

LED indicators and alarm modes allow immediate monitoring of the inverter status and facilitate the diagnosis of abnormal conditions during use.

Dimensions, weight, and installation

• Dimensions: 210 x 130 x 60 mm (8.3 x 5.1 x 2.4 inches).
• Weight: 1.22 kg (2.7 pounds).

The compact size and light weight make it suitable for installations where space is limited, such as technical compartments or equipment bays, maintaining a neat wiring layout.

Certifications

• Certifications: CE, E-mark, ABYC A-31.

Typical applications

This inverter is designed for contexts where 230 V power is needed starting from a 12 V battery, for example:

• Marine and onboard plant engineering: support for AC loads when the dock or a generator is not available.
• 12 V vehicles and mobile systems: conversion to 230 V for equipment compatible with the available power.
• Maintenance and technical assistance: power supply for instruments or devices at 230 V when a battery bank is present.

For a correct choice, it is important to verify that the loads fall within the declared power ratings and that the battery system is sized consistently with the expected consumption.

Operational advantages

Output power quality

The pure sine wave and the frequency/voltage specification help provide a power supply suitable for many alternating current devices, reducing the risk of incompatibilities typical of non-sinusoidal waveforms.

Simplified management and control

The LED display and the 4 alarm modes help the operator monitor the device status and intervene in case of anomalies, improving daily system management.

Integration into technical systems

The presence of galvanic isolation and AC connections universal supports a neater and more flexible installation, in line with the typical needs of marine and professional systems.

Usage and important notes

System sizing

• Consider the recommended battery capacity and the state of charge: an adequate battery contributes to more stable operation.
• Evaluate the power required by the loads in relation to the continuous power and peak power declared.
• Take into account environmental conditions: the continuous power is indicated at 25 °C and 40 °C.

Installation

For installations in nautical or professional environments, it is recommended to perform a proper installation, with appropriate wiring and protections consistent with the system. In case of doubts about the diagram, cable sections, or protections, it is advisable to consult a qualified technician.
