Victron 48V to 12V Orion 48/12-60A Non-Isolated IP20 DC-DC Converter

The Victron 48V to 12V 60A Orion Non-Isolated DC-DC Converter provides a highly efficient and robust solution for stepping down 48-volt power systems to support standard 12-volt equipment. Engineered for seamless integration into extensive off-grid properties, commercial marine vessels, and specialised industrial power setups, this converter reliably runs 12V communication devices, lighting, and auxiliary accessories directly from a larger 48V battery bank. Capable of delivering up to 60 amps (approximately 720 watts) of continuous output current, it ensures a highly stable energy delivery mechanism for essential electrical loads while maintaining an efficient conversion process.

Integrated Remote Control Capabilities

A key structural advantage of this model is the inclusion of a dedicated remote on/off connector. This practical addition completely eliminates the requirement for installing a heavy-duty, high-current switch on the input wiring, which can often be expensive and cumbersome. Instead, the unit can be conveniently toggled using a standard low-power switch, or it can be wired to respond automatically to an engine run/stop mechanism. This capability streamlines the overall installation process and reduces the length of heavy-gauge cable required, leading to a cleaner and more secure wiring arrangement.

Adjustable Voltage and Charging Capability

Beyond standard step-down conversion, the adjustable output feature significantly increases the operational versatility of this device. Because the output voltage can be finely tuned to match specific charging profiles, this converter functions exceptionally well as a multi-stage-equivalent continuous power supply or battery charger. It is highly suitable for safely charging a dedicated 12V starter battery, or maintaining a secondary 12V accessory bank within an overarching 48V infrastructure. This dual-purpose capability helps reduce the need for purchasing separate, standalone battery chargers.

• High-Power Delivery: Supplies up to 60A of continuous output, providing ample power for demanding 12V appliances and DC circuits.
• Remote On/Off Functionality: Easily integrates with low-power switches or external control circuits, simplifying system design and wiring requirements.
• Adjustable Output Design: Can be precisely calibrated, allowing the unit to act as a reliable 12V battery charger for auxiliary storage.
• System Scalability: Supports parallel connection of up to five individual units, enabling massive increases in total output current as demands grow.
• Non-Isolated Architecture: Operates highly efficiently in standard systems where the input and output share a common negative connection.
• Robust Enclosure: Features an IP20 rating designed for clean, dry, and protected indoor or compartment installations.

Modular and Expandable Architecture

For complex energy environments where power demands are likely to increase over time, the Orion 48/12-60A converter fully supports parallel operation. System designers can wire up to five identical Orion units together to substantially scale the total output capacity. This modular approach ensures that off-grid and marine systems can be expanded without the financial penalty of discarding existing hardware. As new 12V loads are added to the network, additional converters seamlessly integrate to share the burden.

Consistent Power Management

Manufactured to exacting standards, this DC-DC converter manages the voltage step-down process with minimal energy loss and low heat generation. By stabilising the power delivered to sensitive 12-volt electronics, it helps extend the operational lifespan of connected equipment and mitigates the risks associated with voltage drops or fluctuations. Designed for consistent, long-term use, the Victron Orion series stands as a highly dependable method for optimising and dividing electrical architecture in multi-voltage installations.
