Victron Energy Orion DC-DC Converter 12/24-10A Non Isolated

The Victron Orion 12/24-10A is a non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps a 12V input up to a 24V output at up to 10A continuous current, for running 24V equipment from a 12V battery bank. Being non-isolated, it is smaller, lighter, and more efficient than an equivalent isolated converter, and is intended for systems where the input and output negative are already on the same common ground.

The output voltage is adjustable between 20V and 30V using the onboard potentiometer (factory-set to 26.4V), so it can also buffer-charge a 24V battery rather than only supplying a fixed voltage, and up to five units can be connected in parallel to increase available current.

A remote on/off connection eliminates the need for a high-current switch in the input wiring - the converter can be switched with a low-power switch or an external control signal such as an engine run/stop switch.

The unit is resin encapsulated and IP67 rated for damp engine room, bilge, or exposed marine environments, with an operating range of -20 to +55°C (derated 3% per °C above 40°C). As with all Orion non-isolated converters, the minus (negative) cables must be connected first during installation, since a poor minus connection can result in output overvoltage.

Features

Adjustable Output - Doubles as a 24V Battery Charger

Output voltage is adjustable from 20V to 30V via the onboard potentiometer (factory-set to 26.4V), so the 10A converter can buffer-charge a 24V battery rather than only supply a fixed voltage.

Parallel Operation - Up to Five Units

Up to five Orion 12/24-10A units can be connected in parallel to increase total output current for larger 24V loads fed from a 12V system.

Remote On/Off Control

Eliminates the need for a high-current switch in the input wiring - operate with a low-power switch or an external control signal such as an engine run/stop switch.

Non-Isolated, Compact Design

Being non-isolated keeps the 10A converter smaller, lighter, and more efficient than an equivalent isolated unit, for systems where the 12V and 24V sides share a common negative.

Resin Encapsulated, IP67 Rated

Fully resin encapsulated construction seals the electronics against moisture and vibration, with an IP67 rating for reliable operation in damp engine room, bilge, or exposed marine locations.

Polarity-Critical Minus-First Installation

The minus (negative) cables must be connected first during installation - a poor minus connection can otherwise result in output overvoltage.
