Victron Energy Orion 24/12-80 DC-DC Converter IP20 - ORI241280020

The Victron Energy ORI241280020 Orion 24/12-80 is a high-power, non-isolated DC-DC converter designed to convert power from a nominal 24V electrical system to a regulated 12V-class output. With an adjustable output and high current capacity, it is suitable for powering compatible 12V equipment and for supported battery-charging applications from a 24V DC source.

The Orion 24/12-80 operates across an 18–35V DC input range and provides 80A continuous output current with up to 90A maximum output current. Its output is adjustable from 10–15V, factory set to 13.2V, and the converter supports remote on/off control, temperature-controlled fan cooling, and parallel operation. 

Key Technology

• High-Power 24V-to-12V Conversion
  Designed to supply regulated 12V-class power from a nominal 24V DC electrical system for compatible auxiliary loads and equipment.

• Adjustable Output Voltage
  An integrated potentiometer allows the output voltage to be adjusted to suit supported loads and battery-charging applications.

• High Current Capacity
  Provides substantial continuous output capability for demanding DC applications where a lower-voltage supply is required from a 24V source.

• Battery Charging Capability
  Victron specifies that Orion models with adjustable output can also be used as battery chargers, such as for charging a compatible 12V starter or accessory battery from a 24V electrical system.

• Parallel Operation
  Adjustable-output Orion converters can be connected in parallel to increase available output current, with Victron specifying support for up to five units in parallel.

• Remote On/Off
  Allows converter operation to be controlled using a suitable low-power switch or engine run/stop signal without requiring a high-current control switch in the primary input wiring.

• Temperature-Controlled Fan Cooling
  Integrated fan-assisted cooling provides active thermal management during higher-load operating conditions.

Best Uses

• 24V-to-12V Auxiliary Systems
  Ideal for operating compatible 12V equipment from a nominal 24V battery bank or DC electrical system.

• High-Current DC Loads
  Suitable for installations requiring significant lower-voltage DC current for compatible electronics, controls, lighting, and auxiliary equipment.

• Auxiliary Battery Charging
  The adjustable output makes the converter suitable for supported applications where a compatible 12V starter or accessory battery needs to be charged from a 24V system.

• Remote-Controlled DC Systems
  Useful when converter operation needs to follow an external low-power switch or compatible engine run/stop control signal.

• Expandable DC Power Systems
  Parallel capability allows additional compatible units to be incorporated when a properly designed installation requires increased output-current capacity.
