Description
xVictron Orion 24/12-80 DC-DC Converter IP20
The Victron Orion 24/12-80 is a non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps down a 24V DC input to a regulated 12V DC output at up to 80A. It is designed for professional installations where a 24V system needs to power 12V loads or charge a 12V auxiliary battery. Typical applications include commercial vehicles, marine vessels, and off-grid systems with mixed-voltage architectures.
Key Features
- Non-isolated 24V to 12V DC-DC conversion with up to 80A continuous output current.
- IP20 rated enclosure, suitable for installation in protected indoor or cabinet environments.
- High conversion efficiency, minimising heat generation and reducing the load on the source battery bank.
- Compact and lightweight design at 0.9kg, making it straightforward to mount in tight spaces.
- Wide input voltage tolerance accommodates real-world 24V system fluctuations without shutting down.
- Compatible with Victron's broader ecosystem of battery monitors, inverters and charge controllers for integrated system design.
Product Overview
The Orion 24/12-80 operates as a non-isolated buck converter, meaning the input and output share a common ground. This is an important distinction for system designers: non-isolated converters are efficient and cost-effective but require careful attention to grounding in the installation. Where galvanic isolation between circuits is required, a different converter variant should be selected.
At 80A output, this unit can deliver up to approximately 960W of 12V power from a 24V source. This makes it well suited to supplying substantial 12V loads such as lighting circuits, pumps, winches, or a secondary 12V battery in a dual-voltage vehicle or vessel. The IP20 rating means the unit must be installed in a dry, enclosed location away from moisture, dust ingress and direct exposure to the elements.
Victron's Orion range is widely used by professional installers across the marine, automotive and off-grid sectors. The 24/12-80 sits at the higher end of the non-isolated range, providing a meaningful step up in output capacity compared to smaller models in the series.

Installation Notes
This converter must be installed in a dry, ventilated, enclosed location in line with its IP20 rating. It is a non-isolated unit, so input and output share a common ground reference. Incorrect grounding can cause system faults or damage connected equipment. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC power systems. Ensure appropriate fusing is fitted on both the input and output circuits in accordance with the wire gauges used and the converter's rated current.
