Victron Orion 24/12-60 – Reliably Convert 24 V to 12 V

If you need a stable 12 volts in a 24-volt onboard electrical system, the Victron Energy Orion 24V-12V 60 A DC-DC converter is a robust, practical solution. It converts 24 V DC to 12 V DC and delivers up to 60 A output current. Thanks to its wide input voltage range of 18–35 V DC, your 12-volt supply remains stable even when the input voltage in the vehicle or system fluctuates. You can also flexibly set the output voltage from 10 to 15 V – ideal if you want to precisely adapt your 12-volt side to consumers or charging scenarios.

For which setups is the Orion 24/12-60 suitable?

The Orion is particularly interesting for applications where a 24-volt system is available, but 12-volt consumers or 12-volt sub-circuits need to be powered – for example in commercial vehicles, service vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, or technical installations. Through DC-DC conversion, you get a defined, clean 12-volt bus without having to rely on “good enough” solutions.

Adjustable output voltage: more control over your 12-volt side

Not every 12-volt system is really “exactly 12 V” in everyday use. Depending on the consumer, cable routes, and desired behavior, it may make sense to adjust the output voltage. With the 10–15 V adjustment range, you can configure the Orion accordingly – for example, to compensate for voltage drops over longer cable runs or to operate your consumers within their optimal voltage window.

Mounting & connections: solid and service-friendly

It is connected via screw terminals for cable cross-sections up to 6 mm². This makes the installation tidy and easy to maintain – especially when you want to work neatly in control cabinets or technical areas. With dimensions of 65 × 88 × 185 mm (L × W × H), the device remains compact, and at 0.9 kg, it can be easily accommodated in common installation environments.

Operation in typical environments

The Orion is designed for a temperature range of -20 °C to +55 °C. With IP20, it is intended for protected indoor areas – so not for direct exposure to the elements or splashing water. Important for planning: This model is not galvanically isolated. This is perfectly fine in many onboard and industrial setups, but should be consciously considered in grounding and system design.
