Description
The Victron Orion 24/12-80 DC-DC Converter is designed to efficiently convert 24V DC input into a regulated 12V DC output, allowing 12V equipment to operate safely within a 24V electrical system. With an output capacity of 80A, it is capable of powering high-demand 12V loads including lighting, communication equipment, refrigeration and onboard electronics.
This version of the Orion converter is equipped with binding post terminals, providing a secure and robust connection for higher current applications. These terminals allow installers to connect larger cables more easily, making it particularly suitable for professional vehicle, marine and off-grid installations.
The converter includes a remote on/off connector, which eliminates the need to install a high-current switch in the input wiring. The unit can instead be controlled using a low-power switch or directly from an engine run/stop signal, allowing the converter to activate automatically when the system or vehicle is running.
Although some Orion models feature adjustable output for battery charging applications, this converter is commonly used to supply stable 12V power from a 24V battery bank. In systems requiring more output current, multiple Orion converters can be connected in parallel, with up to five units operating together to increase total capacity.
Built by Victron Energy, a global leader in power conversion technology, the Orion range is designed for continuous operation, high efficiency and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
