Description
The Victron Orion 48/12-60 DC-DC Converter is engineered to efficiently convert 48V DC input into a regulated 12V DC output, allowing 12V equipment to operate safely within higher-voltage electrical systems. With a continuous output capacity of 60A, it is capable of powering a wide range of 12V electronics, lighting, communications equipment, refrigeration units and onboard appliances.
This converter is commonly used in commercial vehicles, marine vessels, campervans and renewable energy systems where a 48V battery system must supply 12V devices. The non-isolated design means the input and output share a common negative connection, resulting in improved efficiency and simplified installation.
The Orion converter includes a remote on/off connector, eliminating the need for a high-current switch in the input wiring. Instead, the converter can be controlled via a low-power switch or engine run/stop signal, allowing it to automatically activate when the system or vehicle is running.
Models within the Orion range with adjustable output voltage can also function as battery chargers, allowing a 12V starter or auxiliary battery to be charged from a 48V system. In installations requiring greater output capacity, multiple Orion converters can be connected in parallel, with up to five units operating together to increase total current output.
Built to Victron Energy’s renowned reliability standards, the Orion series provides efficient power conversion for demanding professional applications.
