Non-insulated converter Victron Energy Orion DC-DC 12/24-20
ORION (Orion) - DC voltage converters from 12 to 12 and from 12 to 24 Volts with and without galvanic isolation. They are produced in Holland at the Victron Energy plant and are extremely reliable equipment. ORION is used in cases where the DC voltage is at an inappropriate level to power a DC consumer, for example, in the network of a car, yacht, boat, etc.
ORION converters can be either with galvanic isolation or without it. The main difference is that in non-insulated models the neutral wire has a common connection inside the device.
Advantages of DC/DC converters 12/12 and 12/24V ORION
High quality and stability of DC output voltage;
High level of efficiency;
Low power consumption;
Availability of short circuit protection;
Availability of protection against overheating of the converter;
Availability of overvoltage protection at the input/output;
Availability of protection when connecting with reverse polarity; Compact dimensions and light weight of the converter;
Metal body and vibration-resistant design;
They work in difficult conditions, from -20 to +55 °C.
Additional functions of DC/DC converters
Remote on/off Models with an output current of 25, 40 and 70 Amps have a convenient function for remotely turning on and off the converter. This solution from the manufacturer allows you to automatically turn on the converter using a remote button or, for example, the ignition switch contacts in the car door.
Increasing output current. If you need a more powerful system, you can connect up to five 12 V DC converters in parallel. The power increase function is only available for models with adjustable output voltage level.
