Description
xOrion-Tr 24/12-20 (240W) DC-DC Converter
The Orion-Tr 24/12-20 is a non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps 24V down to a stable 12V supply, delivering up to 20A continuous. It is built for vehicles, boats and off-grid systems where a 24V house or starter battery needs to reliably power 12V equipment. This retail version comes boxed for direct sale and installation by trade professionals or competent DIY installers.
Key Features
- Converts 24V DC input to a regulated 12V DC output at up to 20A continuous current
- Non-isolated design, meaning input and output share a common negative, suited to installations without galvanic isolation requirements
- 240W continuous power rating with short-circuit and overload protection built in
- Compact aluminium housing rated for use in demanding vehicle and marine environments
- Wide input voltage range tolerates fluctuations from alternators and battery banks without dropping output
- Low standby power draw when the connected load is switched off
Product Overview
The Orion-Tr 24/12-20 takes a 24V DC source and produces a clean, regulated 12V output. This matters in mixed-voltage systems, such as a 24V commercial vehicle that still needs to run 12V accessories, radios or charging equipment, without the voltage instability that a simple resistor or basic converter would introduce.
Because it is non-isolated, the negative terminals of the input and output are electrically common. This keeps the unit compact and efficient but means it is not suitable for applications where galvanic isolation between circuits is a requirement, such as certain battery charging setups or systems with sensitive earth-referenced electronics. Installers should confirm the electrical architecture of the vehicle or vessel before specifying this unit over an isolated equivalent.
At 240W and 20A output, the converter is sized for moderate 12V loads rather than high-draw applications. It suits accessory circuits, communications equipment and smaller 12V appliances running from a 24V supply.

Installation Notes
Confirm that a non-isolated converter is appropriate for the electrical system before installation, since input and output negatives are common. Use appropriately rated cable and fusing on both input and output sides. Installation should be carried out by a competent installer familiar with 12V and 24V DC systems, particularly in vehicles and marine vessels where wiring standards and earthing arrangements vary.
