Orion-Tr Smart 24/12-30A (360W) Isolated DC-DC Converter/Charger

This isolated DC-DC converter/charger is designed for onboard systems requiring voltage conversion. It can power 12V equipment or charge a 12V service battery from a 24V source. Its galvanic isolation ensures complete electrical separation between input and output circuits, preventing ground loops and improving electrical safety, especially on metal-hulled boats or vehicles with specific grounding requirements.

The Victron Energy Orion-Tr Smart 24/12-30A converter/charger delivers a continuous output power of 360W at an ambient temperature of 40°C.

The input voltage range is 20 to 35V. The nominal output voltage is 12.2V, and it is adjustable within a range of 10 to 15V.

The continuous output current of this device is 30A at a nominal output voltage and at 40°C. The maximum output current (for 10 seconds) is 45A.

Galvanic isolation (200 VDC between input, output, and the housing) is essential to prevent ground loops and ensure electrical safety. It provides complete electrical separation between input and output circuits, offering enhanced protection against interference and grounding issues.

Yes, it is compatible with smart alternators (Euro 5 and Euro 6) thanks to an integrated engine-running detection mechanism. This prevents the starter battery from discharging when the alternator is not supplying power.

This inverter/charger is compatible with lead-acid and lithium batteries. It uses a 3-stage adaptive charging algorithm (bulk, absorption, float) that optimizes battery lifespan.

The algorithm consists of three stages:

Bulk: The charger delivers as much charging current as possible to quickly recharge the batteries.Absorption: The controller switches to constant voltage mode when the battery voltage reaches the absorption voltage setting. For lead-acid batteries, the duration is automatically adjusted after a partial discharge. For lithium batteries, the duration is fixed (2 hours by default).Float: A float voltage is applied to the battery to keep it in a fully charged state.These parameters are configurable via the VictronConnect app.

Yes, an unlimited number of Orion-Tr Smart 24/12-30A units can be connected in parallel to increase total output current.

The battery charger/inverter is configured and monitored via the VictronConnect application, accessible via Bluetooth Smart from a smartphone, tablet, or other compatible device. The application allows you to modify settings, monitor the charger, and update it if new software features become available.

The Orion-Tr Smart 24/12-30A features extensive electronic protections, including:

Overheat protection (with power reduction if ambient temperature is high).Overload protection.Short-circuit protection.Overheat protection for connectors.

The device must be mounted vertically on a non-flammable surface, with the power terminals facing downward. It is recommended to leave a minimum clearance of 10 cm above and below the product for optimal cooling. Install it near the battery, but never directly above it to avoid damage from battery gases.

Use flexible multistrand copper cables for battery connections. Individual strand diameter must not exceed 0.4mm (or 0.125mm² / AWG26). For example, a 16mm² cable should have at least 122 strands (class 5 or higher per VDE 0295, IEC 60228, and BS6360).

Yes, the installation must include a fuse in accordance with Victron Energy’s specific recommendations to ensure system safety.

Yes, a remote on/off function is available. A switch or relay contact can be connected to a two-pole connector to turn the device on or off. It can also be controlled via the VictronConnect app.

The operating temperature range of the device is from -20 to +55 °C. A power reduction of 3% per °C is applied above 40°C.

The inverter/charger has an IP43 protection rating, provided the installation is done with the screw terminals facing downward. It can tolerate up to 95% maximum humidity without condensation.

No, the inverter/charger is equipped with screw terminals, meaning no specific tools are required for cable installation.

No, the product is not protected against reverse polarity. It is essential to check the polarity before and during the battery connection to prevent any damage to the device.
