Orion Victron non-isolated high power converter 48/12-60 - ORI481260020

Orion Victron non-isolated high power converter 48/12-60 - ORI481260020

The Orion Victron 48/12-60 is a converter that transforms direct current (DC) from a 48V system to 12V, maintaining a stable and regulated voltage output.
It is intended for large electrical systems that need power and reliability.

This converter is non-isolated, which means that the input and output share the same negative, making it more efficient and reliable.

The high-powered Orion can keep multiple devices running at the same time without any problems.

In addition, being Victron, it is designed to withstand constant use and protect against overloads or short circuits.
This makes it ideal for boats, campers, electric vehicles or solar installations where the main battery is 48V but some equipment still needs 12V.

Features of the Orion 48/12-60

Power and efficiency

The Orion 48/12-60 operates with a 48V input and a 12V output with up to 60A of continuous current, allowing it to power multiple 12V devices at the same time without overloading or cutting power.

Thanks to its high efficiency, the converter minimises energy losses and reduces heating, providing reliable operation even in systems with high or prolonged power consumption.

Configuration and control

The Orion 48/12-60 allows the output voltage to be adjusted within a useful range, which means that it can also be used not only as a DC-DC converter, but also as a charger for 12 V auxiliary batteries.

It incorporates a remote ON/OFF connector, which facilitates switching on and off from a control panel, relay or low current switch, easily integrating into vehicles, boats or automated installations.

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.

Compatibility and reliability

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

In addition, it has a very high reliability and durability due to its Victron Blue construction with high quality components, allowing it to offer continuous operation in demanding conditions.

Protections

The Orion 48/12-60 incorporates overload, overvoltage, undervoltage and short-circuit protection, as well as thermal protection.

If the temperature exceeds certain limits or if a short circuit is detected, this Orion automatically reduces power or shuts down to protect the equipment and the rest of the system from damage.

In addition, it has IP43 protection, which protects the converter from water and dust, making it suitable for mobile, marine or industrial environments.

Advantages of the Orion Victron non-isolated high power converter 48/12-60 - ORI481260020

Orion non-isolated converters offer a number of very useful advantages, including:

• It allows remotely switched on and off
• Reliable and durable
• 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 auxiliary battery charger 12 V.
• Energy saving

Typical use of the Orion 48/12-60

The Orion 24/12-80 converter is typically used in installations of:

• Trucks, motorhomes and camper vans, where the battery is 48 V but several 12 V devices are needed.
• Boats and yachts, where there is a 48 V system and a 12 V network.
• Large solar installations, to supply 12V loads from panels connected to one or more 48V batteries.
• Commercial vehicles and machinery, where the auxiliary systems operate at 12 V while the rest of the electrical system operates at 24 V.
• Any mixed 48V to 12V system
