Are Phoenix inverter HF or LF?

Hello, I'm a bit confused by the naming of Phoenix inverters.


Victron calls them hybrid high-frequency technology.


but I know that they weigh much more than high frequency inverters and have a real big toroidal transformer.


Can anyone clarify for me?


I believe victron only make one type of High Frequency Inverter and they are the Rs models.

In fact they weigh much less than the Phoenix models.


Thank you

Clear states, Toroidal Transformer.
Yes, the PWM is High Frequency.

Generic terms like "HF" & "LF" can be abused by the manufacturer.
So, Victron invents a new term ... hybrid high-frequency technology.
Which then confuses everybody.

OK thank you.
for those who don't know much about electronics like me, the nomenclature used by the manufacturers is a bit confusing.

those few who specify it
