The Victron Orion IP67 12/24-50A is a non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps a 12V input up to a 24V output at up to 50A continuous, giving 1200W of conversion power. It suits vehicle, marine and off-grid installations where a sealed, weatherproof unit is needed for reliable voltage conversion between two DC systems.

Key features of the Victron Orion IP67 12/24-50A DC-DC converter

• Conversion, 12V DC input to 24V DC output at up to 50A continuous, 1200W capacity.
• Protection, IP67 enclosure resists dust ingress and temporary water immersion.
• Topology, non-isolated design for high efficiency between two DC bus voltages sharing a common ground.
• Build, aluminium housing weighing 2.25kg, suitable for fixed mounting in confined spaces.
• Integration, part of the Victron Orion range, compatible with Victron monitoring and system integration where applicable.

How the non-isolated topology works

Non-isolated means the input and output share a common ground reference, which is standard in many vehicle and marine dual-voltage systems. This allows a compact form factor and high efficiency compared with fully isolated designs, but both source and load systems must share the same ground. Confirm ground architecture before specifying this unit.

Sealed for exposed installation

The IP67 rating means the unit withstands dust ingress completely and temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. That makes it workable for under-bonnet, bilge-adjacent or exposed panel mounting. At 1200W continuous, it can supply substantial 24V loads from a 12V source battery bank or alternator feed.

Applications

• Dual-voltage vehicle electrical systems powering a 24V load from a 12V vehicle battery or alternator.
• Marine installations needing a sealed 24V supply from a 12V house bank.
• Off-grid DC distribution systems mixing 12V and 24V equipment.
• Commercial vehicle conversions, including ambulances and specialist transport, running 24V ancillary equipment from a 12V chassis supply.
• Motorhome and campervan builds needing a stepped-up voltage rail for specific appliances or inverters.

Installation notes

Installation should be carried out by a qualified 12V or marine electrician familiar with DC power systems. As the converter is non-isolated, source and output circuits share a common ground, so confirm grounding arrangements before installation to avoid ground loop issues. Input cabling must be rated for the full input current draw, which will exceed 50A at 12V input. The IP67 rating allows exposure to moisture, but the unit still needs mounting that allows heat dissipation. Follow Victron's wiring guidance and local electrical regulations throughout.
