Orion 24/12-60 DC-DC converter IP20

is a high-current DC-DC converter from the brand Victron Energy, designed to efficiently convert 24V voltage into stable 13.2V with continuous output current 60 A The model belongs to the segment high power non-isolated Orion series, where high power, compact design and reliability in difficult mobile working conditions are paramount. Thanks to the efficiency at the level 95% Thermal losses are minimal, and the load on the 24V source battery remains low even during long-term operation at full load. The converter is equipped with an input remote on/off (remote on/off), which eliminates the need for a costly high-current contactor in the input circuit—a small switch on the dashboard or a signal from the vehicle's ignition is sufficient. IP20 with active fan cooling temperature-controlled allows you to maintain the full 60 A even at elevated ambient temperatures, and the double 6.35 mm connectors facilitate quick and reliable installation of large-section cables.

Performance and Applications

Wide input voltage range 18-35V DC provides full compatibility with 24V systems - also during alternator charging or regeneration in start-stop vehicles. Built-in deep discharge protection ( shutdown at 14V, restart at 18V ) protects the source battery from damage, and no-load current below 20 mA allows you to safely leave the converter in standby mode. The converter is suitable for powering 12V devices (fridge, lighting, water pump, radio, GPS) from a 24V traction battery - typical applications include trucks, buses, yachts, campers, mobile workshops and ambulances, where high power is required on the 12V line without the need for a separate battery. The housing is resistant to harsh operating conditions in the temperature range from -20°C to +55°C (derate 3%/°C above 40°C), and the quality of Victron Energy is confirmed by a set of standards EN 60950, EN 61000-6-1/2/3, EN 55014-1/2 and the automotive directive ECE R10-4 .The maximum output current reaches 70 A (temporarily), which provides a power reserve when switching on loads with high starting current.
