Orion Victron non-isolated high power converter 24/12-30 - ORI241230022

The Orion 24/12-30 is a compact and robust device designed to transform direct current (DC) from a 24 V system to a 12 V system in a stable and efficient way, with an output current of up to 30 A.

This type of Orion is used in electrical systems where there are two battery banks with different voltages or where 12 V devices need to be powered from a 24 V source.

It is especially useful when the main system is of higher voltage (24 V) and a lower voltage is required, but with sufficient DC current available to charge refrigerators, lights, critical electronics, pumps or auxiliary inverters.

For example, in many vehicles, boats or solar installations, the main battery bank may be at 24 V (to supply large consumers, inverters or electric motors), while many electrical accessories (lights, control systems, refrigerators or navigation equipment) require a stable 12 V voltage.

The Orion takes 24 V power and transforms it into 12 V reliably and continuously, without the need for an additional power source.

As it is a non-isolated converter, the negative input and negative output connections are connected to each other, there is no separation.
This configuration usually has a simpler and more efficient design when mass spacing is not necessary in the installation.

Characteristics of the non-insulated Orion 24/12-30

Power and efficiency

This Orion has a 24 volt input, designed to connect directly to batteries or 24V systems, and a 12 volt output with up to 30 amps of continuous current.

In addition, the Orion 24/12-30 has an efficiency of a 96%, so almost all of the 24V current going into it is output at 12V without significant power loss.

Configuration and control

The Orion 24/12-30 allows the output voltage to be set within a useful range, so it can be used both as a DC-DC converter and as a 12V auxiliary battery charger.

It also has a remote on/off connector, which allows the device to be controlled from a low-current switch or from the system itself, without the need to install a high-power switch in the main wiring.
This detail simplifies both use and installation.

Although this model does not include advanced features such as Bluetooth connectivity or app-based monitoring, it still offers stable and reliable operation with reduced quiescent current.

In addition, this Orion can be connected in parallel with other similar Orions to increase the total current available when more power is needed.

Compatibility and reliability

The Orion converter is compatible with lead-acid (AGM/GEL) and lithium (LiFePO₄) batteries, offering versatility for different types of installations.

In addition, it has a very high reliability due to its Victron Blue construction with high quality components, allowing it to perform continuous service under demanding conditions.

Protections

The Orion 24/12-30 features overload, overvoltage, undervoltage and short-circuit protection as well as thermal protection.

In addition, it has IP43 protection, which protects the device from water and dust, making it suitable for use in vehicles, boats and technical environments.

Advantages of the Orion Victron non-isolated high power converter 24/12-30 - ORI241230022

Orion non-isolated converters have a number of very useful advantages, among them:

• It allows remotely switched on and off
• You can connect several units in parallel to increase power
• It works as stable DC power supply for 12 V loads
• It has integrated protections that prevent damage to both the Orion converter and the batteries connected to it.
• It can be used as battery recharger 12 V auxiliary power supply.

Typical use of the Orion 24/12-30

The Orion 24/12-30 converter is typically used in installations of:

• Trucks, motorhomes and camper vans, where the battery is 24 V but several 12 V devices are needed.
• Boats and yachts, where there is a 24 V system and a 12 V network.
• Hybrid or multi-battery solar installations, to supply 12 V loads from panels connected to one or more 24 V batteries.
• Commercial vehicles and machinery, where the auxiliary systems operate at 12 V while the rest of the electrical system operates at 24 V.
