48V-12V : DC-DC converters / Boosters

48V/12V conversion is essential for 48V solar home installations that need to power 12V loads or accessories: DC LED lighting, USB chargers, communication equipment, automation, probes or low-power instrumentation. Instead of first converting to 220V with the inverter and then reducing to 12V with a transformer -a process that accumulates losses in two stages-, the Orion 48/12 makes the direct DC/DC conversion with higher efficiencies than the 93%. It is also the usual solution when in a 48V installation you want to charge a 12V service battery for backup of critical systems without relying on the main inverter.FVComponentes.com has the Orion 48/12 range from Victron Energy:Orion-Tr Smart 48/12-30A and 20A (isolated): with integrated Bluetooth for configuration from VictronConnect. The galvanic isolation of the isolated model protects 12V equipment from transients from the 48V bus.Orion-Tr 48/12-9A and 20A (isolated, without Bluetooth): for installations managed from the Cerbo GX. Lower cost while maintaining galvanic isolation .Orion 48/12-60A non-insulated high power: for high power loads - up to 720W - from 48V systems where galvanic isolation is not required.
