Orion-Tr 12/24-5A Isolated DC-DC Converter

The isolated Orion-Tr 12/24-5A converter is used to transform an input voltage of 12V (battery) into a stable output voltage of 24V. Its galvanic isolation protects your sensitive electronic equipment on board your boat.

Galvanic isolation means there is complete electrical separation (up to 200 VDC) between the input, output, and casing. This prevents the formation of ground loops and reduces electromagnetic interference.

This model delivers a continuous current of 5A at 25°C, which equates to a power of 120W. It can also provide a maximum current of 6.3A for 10 seconds during peak demand.

Yes, the nominal output voltage is 24.2V, but it can be precisely adjusted between 18 and 30V using a built-in potentiometer, to adapt to the specific needs of your devices.

The converter has an IP43 waterproof rating. For this protection to be effective against water splashes, it is essential to mount it vertically with the connection terminal block facing downwards.

Absolutely. The Orion-Tr architecture allows for multiple converters to be connected in parallel. This is an ideal solution if your installation requires more than 120W of power.

The device is equipped with a two-pin green connector for remote ignition and shutdown. You can control it via a simple low-power switch or an engine management relay, avoiding the need to run heavy cables to the dashboard.

The converter accepts a wide input voltage range from 8 to 17V. This allows it to operate perfectly even during significant voltage drops in your 12V battery bank.

This 12V model already has an internal input fuse (which is not user-replaceable). However, it is always recommended to install an external protection fuse as close as possible to your battery to secure the wiring.

Standby consumption is extremely low. When turned off via the remote ignition port, the converter consumes less than 200 µA, thus preserving your battery power.

Yes, it is designed for demanding marine environments and operates from -20°C to +55°C. Note that above 40°C, the output power is reduced by 3% per additional degree.

No, this model is a standard DC-DC converter intended to power 24V equipment. If you are looking to recharge a battery bank, you should consider the Orion-Tr Smart models which include a dedicated charging algorithm.

This Victron Energy converter offers an excellent efficiency of 88%. This means there is very little energy loss as heat during the 12V to 24V conversion.

The device is highly secure. In case of an output short circuit, it can withstand a current of up to 23A without damage, thus protecting your entire electrical circuit.

It must be mounted on a flat, solid, and non-flammable surface. Use the four mounting points on the casing and ensure sufficient space around it for ventilation. Reminder: the terminals must point downwards.

No, it is specifically designed for sensitive installations. Its output noise is extremely low (2 mV rms), ensuring it will not interfere with your radio communication or navigation equipment (VHF, AIS, chartplotters).

To prevent destructive deep discharge, the converter will automatically shut off if the input voltage drops to 7V. It will automatically restart when the voltage rises to 7.5V.

Connection is made via a robust screw terminal located at the base of the unit. This system allows you to firmly insert and tighten your cables to prevent any false contact due to boat vibrations.

Yes, thanks to its tolerant input range (8-17V), this converter is perfectly compatible with 12V lithium batteries (LiFePO4), as well as with classic lead-acid batteries (AGM, Gel, flooded).
