Detailed description

The VICTRON ENERGY Orion-Tr 24/12-20A DC-DC converter is a non-isolated power supply solution designed for marine and embedded systems requiring a voltage conversion from 24V to 12V. This model delivers a stable output of 20 amperes, making it ideal for powering a wide range of 12V electronic equipment from a primary 24V source.

Positioning and Key Features

Part of VICTRON ENERGY’s Orion-Tr series, this converter stands out for its non-isolated design, offering a compact and efficient solution for electrical architectures where a common ground is acceptable. Unlike higher-end models such as the Orion-Tr Isolated series, the absence of galvanic isolation simplifies installation in existing systems while maintaining consistent electrical performance. The remote on/off function is a practical feature, allowing easy control of the converter with a switched current of less than 100 mA, making it compatible with simple switches or energy management systems.

Integration and Technical Performance

The Orion-Tr 24/12-20A is specifically sized for applications requiring 12V power up to 20A, positioning it as a robust choice for equipment such as navigation systems, VHF radios, or certain LED lighting. While other Orion-Tr models may offer higher current capacities (such as the 24/12-25A, 24/12-40A, or 24/12-70A mentioned in technical documentation), the 20A version represents an optimal balance between power and footprint for many configurations. Installation requires a cool, dry, and ventilated area, with careful attention to the negative connection to avoid output overvoltage, ensuring reliable power delivery to connected devices.

« Orion-Tr 24/12-20A: reliable 24V to 12V DC conversion »

The Victron Energy Orion-Tr 24/12-20A DC-DC converter is a key component for integrating heterogeneous electrical systems. Its primary function is to ensure reliable power supply for 12V equipment from a 24V network, a common configuration on larger vessels or service vehicles. The non-isolated design of this converter simplifies wiring by sharing a common ground, which is an advantage in terms of weight and installation complexity, provided the overall system is properly designed to avoid ground loops. The 20A output capacity is sufficient for many critical loads on board. The remote on/off functionality is a strategic asset, enabling centralized power management and easy integration with control systems or dashboard switches. It is a robust and reliable solution, characteristic of Victron Energy, ensuring the longevity of your 12V installations in a 24V environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the primary function of the Orion-Tr 24/12-20A DC converter?

The primary role of this converter is to transform an input DC voltage of 24V into a stable output DC voltage of 12V. It is designed to power various 12V electronic devices from a 24V main source.

Is this converter suitable for marine or embedded systems?

Yes, the Orion-Tr 24/12-20A DC converter is specifically designed for marine and embedded systems. It provides a reliable power supply solution for this type of application.

Is the Orion-Tr 24/12-20A converter galvanically isolated?

No, this model is a non-isolated DC-DC converter. Its non-isolated design is efficient for electrical architectures where a common ground between input and output is acceptable.

What is the maximum output power of this converter?

The converter provides a stable output of 20 amperes at 12V. The maximum output power is therefore 240 watts (12V * 20A).

Where is the best place to install the converter?

The converter should be installed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to ensure proper operation and longevity.

Is there any special precaution when connecting negative cables?

Yes, it is very important to first connect the negative cable to the negative terminal of the Orion converter. A reversed connection of the negative terminals could cause an output overvoltage.

How does the remote start/stop function work?

The remote start/stop function allows you to control the converter using an external switch. You can replace the jumper on the green connector with a switch, or remove the jumper and connect the right terminal of the green connector to the 12V power supply via a switch (for example, an engine start/stop switch).

Which type of switch is compatible with the remote start/stop function?

The remote start/stop function is compatible with simple switches, as the required switched current is less than 100 mA.

Which 12V equipment can be powered with this converter?

This converter is a robust choice for powering equipment requiring a 12V supply up to 20A, such as navigation systems, VHF radios, or certain LED lighting.

What is the required input voltage for this converter?

This converter requires an input voltage of 24V DC.

Which brand is this DC converter?

This converter is a product from the VICTRON ENERGY brand.

Is this converter part of a specific product range?

Yes, this converter belongs to the Orion-Tr series from VICTRON ENERGY, which provides voltage conversion solutions.

How is the remaining wiring connected after the negative connection?

After connecting the negative cable to the negative terminal, you can proceed with wiring the remaining connections according to the installation instructions.

What does the absence of galvanic isolation imply for the installation?

The absence of galvanic isolation means that the input and output circuit grounds are common. This can simplify installation in existing systems where a common ground is already present or acceptable.
