The Orion 24\/12-80 is a high power DC-DC converter designed to transform direct current (DC) from a 24 V to a 12 V system in a stable and efficient manner.
\nIn addition, it provides an output current of up to 80 amps.<\/p>\n
It is a robust and reliable solution, designed for installations where there are two battery banks with different voltages.
\nIt is also used where 12 V devices need to be powered from a 24 V mains supply.<\/p>\n
It is especially useful when the main system operates at a higher voltage (24 V) and a lower voltage is required.
\nHowever, it also works if you need sufficient DC power available to charge refrigerators, lights, critical electronics, pumps or 12 V auxiliary inverters.<\/p>\n
For example, in many vehicles, boats or solar installations, the main battery bank is often configured at 24 V (to supply large consumers, inverters or electric motors). Meanwhile, many electrical accessories (lights, control systems, refrigerators or navigation equipment) operate at 12 V.<\/p>\n
The Orion takes power directly from the 24 V system and converts it into 12 V reliably and continuously.
\nThis ensures a stable supply without the need for an additional energy source.<\/p>\n
As this is a non-isolated converter, the input negative connection and the output negative connection are connected to each other, there is no separation, so there is no galvanic isolation between the two circuits.
\nThis configuration allows for a simpler and more efficient design when mass separation is not required in the installation.<\/p>\n
This Orion has a 24 volt input, designed to connect directly to batteries or 24V systems.
\nIt also has a 12 volt output with up to 80 amps of direct current, allowing it to deliver very high power to 12 V loads.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Orion 24\/12-80 offers high efficiency (92%).
\nAs a result, almost all of the power input at 24 V is transformed into useful power at 12 V, reducing losses and heating of the equipment even in high-demand applications.<\/p>\n
The Orion 24\/12-80 allows the output voltage to be adjusted within a useful range.
\nThus, it can also be used not only as a DC-DC converter, but also as a charger for 12 V auxiliary batteries.<\/p>\n
It has a remote ON\/OFF connector, which allows the converter to be switched on or off from a low current switch or from the system itself (with a control panel or relay), 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 the installation needs more power.<\/p>\n
The Orion converter is compatible with lead-acid batteries (AGM and GEL) and lithium batteries (LiFePO\u2084).
\nTherefore, it offers great 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.
\nThis enables it to provide continuous operation under demanding conditions.<\/p>\n
The Orion 24\/12-80 features overload, overvoltage, undervoltage and short-circuit protection as well as thermal protection.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
In addition, it has IP43 protection, which protects the converter against water and dust.
\nIt is therefore suitable for use in vehicles, boats and technical environments.<\/p>\n
