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 : la conversion DC 24V-12V fiable »

Le convertisseur DC Orion-Tr 24/12-20A de VICTRON ENERGY est un composant essentiel pour l'intégration de systèmes électriques hétérogènes. Sa fonction principale est de fiabiliser l'alimentation des équipements 12V à partir d'un réseau 24V, une configuration courante sur les navires de plus grande taille ou les véhicules de service. La nature non isolée de ce convertisseur simplifie le câblage en partageant une masse commune, ce qui est un avantage en termes de poids et de complexité d'installation, à condition que le système global soit correctement conçu pour éviter les boucles de masse. La capacité de 20A en sortie est suffisante pour de nombreuses charges critiques à bord. La fonctionnalité de démarrage/arrêt à distance est un atout stratégique, permettant une gestion centralisée de l'alimentation et une intégration aisée avec des systèmes de contrôle ou des interrupteurs de tableau de bord. C'est une solution robuste et fiable, caractéristique de la marque Victron Energy, qui garantit la pérennité de vos installations 12V dans un environnement 24V.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

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

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 main 24V 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 amps at 12V. The maximum output power is therefore 240 watts (12V * 20A).

Where is the best place to install the converter?

Install the converter 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 connect the negative cable first to the negative terminal of the Orion converter. A reversed negative connection could cause an output overvoltage.

How does the remote start/stop function work?

The remote start/stop function allows you to control the inverter 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 from?

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 the remaining wiring connections according to the installation instructions.

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

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