Victron Orion DC-DC Converter 24 V to 12 V - Non-Isolated

The Victron Orion DC-DC Converter (24 V to 12 V, non-isolated) is a compact and efficient solution for supplying stable 12 V power from a 24 V battery system. Designed for marine, RV, vehicle, and industrial applications, it provides reliable voltage regulation for sensitive electronics, accessories, and auxiliary loads that require a consistent 12 V supply.

As a non-isolated converter, the Orion shares a common electrical ground between the input and output. This makes it an excellent choice for systems where the 24 V and 12 V circuits already share the same negative reference, such as onboard DC distribution systems, vehicles, and vessels with a unified grounding scheme. The non-isolated design allows for high efficiency and a compact form factor while maintaining dependable performance under varying load conditions.

The Orion DC-DC Converter delivers tightly regulated output voltage, helping protect downstream equipment from voltage drops and fluctuations commonly seen in engine-driven or alternator-based systems. Its high-efficiency design minimizes heat generation, making it well suited for continuous operation in confined spaces typical of marine and mobile installations.

Installation is straightforward using robust screw-terminal connections, and the converter is housed in a durable enclosure designed for demanding environments. Integrated electronic protections guard against short circuits and overheating, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced maintenance. Multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase available output current as system requirements grow.

A remote on/off connection allows the converter to be controlled by an ignition signal, system controller, or external switch. This enables automatic operation, reduces standby power consumption, and supports clean system integration.

Non-Isolated vs. Isolated DC-DC Converters

• Non-isolated converters share a common ground and are ideal for simpler systems with a single grounding reference, offering high efficiency and compact size.

• Isolated converters electrically separate input and output grounds and are better suited for complex systems where ground loops, noise, or safety considerations require isolation.
