Victron Energy Orion-Tr Series
Victron Orion-Tr Isolated DC-DC Converter 12/12-9A (110W)
Isolated & Regulated | 12V Input to 12V Output | 110W Continuous Power
The Victron Orion-Tr Isolated DC-DC Converter 12/12-9A (110W) is a robust and reliable solution for maintaining a stable 12V DC output from a fluctuating 12V input source. Manufactured by Victron Energy, this isolated DC-DC converter is engineered to provide clean, regulated power, making it ideal for protecting sensitive electronics in various applications.
With a continuous output power of 110W and an output current of 9A, this unit ensures consistent performance even when input voltages vary between 8V and 17V. Its galvanic isolation feature prevents ground loop issues and electrical interference, crucial for complex electrical systems in marine, automotive, and off-grid setups.
KEY BENEFIT: Provides stable, galvanically isolated 12V DC power, protecting sensitive equipment from voltage fluctuations and electrical noise.
Key Features
| ▶ Galvanic Isolation — Electrically separates input and output circuits to prevent ground loop issues and protect sensitive electronics. |
| ▶ Adjustable Output Voltage — Output can be adjusted between 10V and 15V, allowing for precise matching to load requirements or use as a battery charger. |
| ▶ Remote On/Off Capability — Eliminates the need for a high-current switch in the input wiring, enabling control via a low-power switch or engine run/stop signal. |
| ▶ Parallel Connectable — An unlimited number of units can be connected in parallel to increase the total output current for higher power demands. |
| ▶ Wide Input Voltage Range — Operates reliably with input voltages from 8V to 17V, ensuring stable output even with fluctuating source voltages. |
| ▶ IP43 Protection — Offers protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and water spray when installed with screw terminals oriented downwards. |
| ▶ Screw Terminals — Simplifies installation, requiring no special tools for secure DC connections. |

Operating & Power Guidance
The Victron Orion-Tr 12/12-9A (110W) is designed for continuous operation, providing a stable DC output even from an unregulated input. Its adjustable output voltage allows it to function effectively as a power supply or a basic battery charger for 12V auxiliary batteries.
The remote on/off feature offers flexible control, enabling integration with vehicle ignition systems or simple manual switches. For higher power requirements, multiple units can be connected in parallel, providing a scalable solution without complex setup.
Typical Applications
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Marine Systems | Providing stable 12V power for navigation equipment, radios, and other sensitive electronics, isolating them from engine or house battery fluctuations. |
| Automotive & RVs | Charging auxiliary or leisure batteries from a vehicle's starter battery, or powering 12V accessories with a regulated supply. |
| Off-Grid Installations | Ensuring a consistent 12V supply for critical loads from a solar battery bank, especially when the battery voltage fluctuates. |
| Industrial Equipment | Powering 12V control systems, sensors, or communication devices in environments where stable, isolated DC power is essential. |
Built-In Protection Functions
The Victron Orion-Tr 12/12-9A (110W) is equipped with multiple protection features to ensure safe and reliable operation. These include short circuit protection on the output, overload protection, and high-temperature protection which reduces output current to prevent damage. It also features under-voltage shutdown and restart to protect connected batteries from excessive discharge. The unit holds CE certification and ECE R10/6 automotive approval, confirming its compliance with relevant safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
Common Questions
What is the primary purpose of an isolated DC-DC converter?
An isolated DC-DC converter, like the Victron Orion-Tr, provides a stable and regulated output voltage while electrically separating the input and output circuits. This isolation prevents ground loop issues and electrical interference, which is crucial for protecting sensitive electronics and ensuring system integrity.
Can this converter be used to charge a battery?
Yes, the adjustable output voltage feature allows this unit to be used as a basic battery charger, for example, to charge a 12V starter or accessory battery in a 12V system. However, for advanced multi-stage charging, a dedicated battery charger or a Smart DC-DC charger might be more suitable.
How does the remote on/off function work?
The remote on/off terminal allows the converter to be switched on or off using a low-power switch, eliminating the need for a high-current switch in the main input wiring. This can be connected to an ignition switch in a vehicle or a simple toggle switch for convenient control.
Is this unit suitable for outdoor installation?
With an IP43 protection rating, the converter is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water spray. For outdoor use, it should be installed in a location where the screw terminals are oriented downwards to maintain its IP rating and minimise exposure to direct water ingress.
Installation Notes
- Ensure correct input and output voltage polarity before connecting.
- Use appropriate cable sizing and fuse protection for the expected continuous current draw.
- Install in a well-ventilated area, ideally with screw terminals oriented downwards to maintain IP43 rating.
- The remote on/off function can be wired to a low-power switch or an ignition signal for convenient control.
- Refer to the manufacturer's manual for detailed wiring diagrams and specific installation instructions.
Before You Buy
- Verify that your input voltage source is within the 8-17V DC range.
- Confirm that a 12V nominal output, with up to 9A continuous current, meets your application's power requirements.
- Consider the need for galvanic isolation in your system to prevent ground loops and protect sensitive equipment.
- If higher current is needed, remember that multiple Orion-Tr units can be paralleled.
- This model is a converter/power supply; for advanced battery charging profiles (e.g., 3-stage charging), consider Victron's dedicated battery chargers or Smart DC-DC chargers.
