Victron Orion 24/12-80 DC-DC converter IP20

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

The Victron Orion 24/12-80 is a non-isolated DC/DC converter that steps down a 24 V input voltage to a regulated 12 V output voltage. It delivers up to 80 A, or around 960 W, and is designed for professional installations. Typical applications include commercial vehicles, boats, and off-grid systems with mixed voltage architectures.

Ideal for mixed voltage systems

If a 24 V system needs to power 12 V consumers or charge a 12 V auxiliary battery, the Orion 24/12-80 is the right solution. With 80 A, it is suitable for larger consumers such as lighting circuits, pumps, or winches. It also provides a reliable 12 V bus in dual-voltage systems where older 12 V devices continue to be operated.

Efficient, compact, and resilient to fluctuations

The high conversion efficiency ensures low heat generation and reduces the load on the source battery bank. Weighing just 0.9 kg, the device is lightweight and compact, allowing it to be easily installed even in confined spaces. The high input voltage tolerance compensates for fluctuations in real-world 24 V systems without causing a shutdown.

Important for installation: common ground

The input and output of the non-isolated converter share a common ground. This makes the circuit efficient and cost-effective, but requires careful grounding. If you need galvanic isolation between the circuits, you should choose a different converter variant. The IP20 protection rating also means that the device must be installed in a dry, enclosed space or control cabinet.

Part of a complete Victron system

The Orion 24/12-80 can be combined with Victron battery monitors, inverters, and charge controllers. This creates an integrated system design from a single source.
