VICTRON ENERGY ▶ ORION-TR SERIES
Victron Orion-Tr Non-Isolated DC-DC Converter
24V Input to 12V Output | 15A (180W) | Model: ORI241215200
The Victron Orion-Tr Non-Isolated DC-DC Converter 24/12-15A (180W), model ORI241215200, is a robust and highly efficient solution for stepping down a 24V DC input to a stable 12V DC output. Manufactured by Victron Energy, this converter is designed for applications requiring a reliable 12V power source from a 24V system, such as charging 12V auxiliary batteries or powering 12V equipment in marine, automotive, and off-grid setups.
Utilising synchronous rectification, this unit achieves an impressive full-load efficiency exceeding 95%, ensuring minimal energy loss and cooler operation. Its non-isolated design means the input and output share a common negative connection, simplifying wiring in many common installations.
KEY APPLICATION: Efficiently converts 24V DC to 12V DC for charging 12V batteries or powering sensitive 12V equipment in 24V systems.
Key Features
| ▶ Remote On-Off Control — Eliminates the need for a high-current switch in the input wiring, allowing control via a low-power switch or engine run/stop signal. |
| ▶ Adjustable Output Voltage — Enables precise charging of 12V starter or accessory batteries within a 24V system, or use as a stable power supply. |
| ▶ Parallel Operation Capability — An unlimited number of units can be connected in parallel to increase the total output current for higher power demands. |
| ▶ Short Circuit Proof — Provides robust protection against output short circuits, ensuring reliable and safe operation. |
| ▶ IP43 Protection Rating — Offers protection against solid objects greater than 1mm and water spray when installed with the screw terminals oriented downwards. |
| ▶ Convenient Screw Terminals — Simplifies installation by eliminating the need for special tools. |
| ▶ Integrated Input Fuse — Includes an input fuse for enhanced safety on 24V input models. |

Operating & Power Guidance
The Victron Orion-Tr DC-DC Converter offers flexible operation for various power needs. Its adjustable output voltage allows it to function effectively as either a DC-DC converter for powering 12V loads or as a battery charger for 12V batteries. The remote on-off feature provides convenient system control, reducing the need for heavy-duty switches in the main power lines.
For applications requiring higher current, multiple Orion-Tr units can be easily paralleled, allowing for scalable power solutions without complex configurations. This makes it suitable for expanding systems or accommodating future power requirements.
Typical Applications
| Application Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Marine & Automotive | Powering 12V navigation equipment, radios, lighting, or charging 12V auxiliary/leisure batteries from a 24V vehicle or boat electrical system. |
| Off-Grid & RV Systems | Stepping down 24V solar battery banks to reliably power 12V DC loads and appliances in caravans, motorhomes, and remote cabins. |
| Industrial & Commercial | Providing stable 12V power for control circuits, communication equipment, or other sensitive electronics from a 24V industrial power supply. |
Built-In Protection Functions
The Victron Orion-Tr DC-DC Converter is designed with essential protection features to ensure system safety and longevity. It is short circuit proof on the output, safeguarding the unit and connected loads from damage in the event of a fault. For comprehensive protection, particularly against reverse polarity, it is recommended to install appropriate external fusing in line with manufacturer guidelines.
Common Questions
What does "non-isolated" mean for this converter?
A non-isolated DC-DC converter means that the input and output share a common negative (ground) connection. This simplifies wiring in systems where both the source and target batteries or loads are already grounded to a common chassis, such as in most vehicles and boats.
Can this unit be used to charge a 12V battery from a 24V system?
Yes, the Victron Orion-Tr 24/12-15A converter features an adjustable output voltage, allowing it to be configured as a battery charger for 12V starter or auxiliary batteries in a 24V system.
How can I increase the output current if 15A is not enough?
The Victron Orion-Tr series is designed for parallel operation. You can connect an unlimited number of these units in parallel to achieve a higher combined output current, matching your system's power requirements.
What is the benefit of the remote on-off feature?
The remote on-off function eliminates the need for a high-current switch in the input wiring, which can be bulky and expensive. It allows the converter to be controlled by a low-power switch, such as an engine run/stop switch, simplifying system integration and operation.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended to ensure safety and optimal performance.
- Always observe correct polarity during wiring to prevent damage to the unit and connected components.
- Mount the converter vertically on a non-flammable surface with the screw terminals facing downwards to achieve the stated IP43 protection rating.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, maintaining a minimum clearance of 10 cm above and below for optimal cooling.
- Mount the unit close to the battery, but never directly above it, to avoid potential damage from battery gassing.
Before You Buy
- Verify your system's input voltage is 24V DC and your required output is 12V DC.
- Calculate the total continuous current draw of your 12V loads to ensure the 15A (180W) capacity is sufficient, or plan for parallel units if more power is needed.
- Confirm that a non-isolated converter is suitable for your application; this unit shares a common ground between input and output.
- Consult the official Victron Energy manual for detailed wiring diagrams, safety instructions, and specific installation requirements.
