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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Orion takes 24 V power and transforms it into 12 V reliably and continuously, without the need for an additional power source.<\/p>\n
As it is a non-isolated converter, the negative input and negative output connections are connected to each other, there is no separation.
\nThis configuration usually has a simpler and more efficient design when mass spacing is not necessary in the installation.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.
\nThis detail simplifies both use and installation.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
In addition, this Orion can be connected in parallel with other similar Orions to increase the total current available when more power is needed.<\/p>\n
The Orion converter is compatible with lead-acid (AGM\/GEL) and lithium (LiFePO\u2084) batteries, offering versatility for different types of installations.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Orion 24\/12-30 features overload, overvoltage, undervoltage and short-circuit protection as well as thermal protection.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
