Description
xVictron Orion 24/12-80 DC-DC Converter IP20 Non-Isolated
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 use in vehicles, marine installations, and off-grid systems where two separate DC voltage rails need to operate from a single battery bank or power source.
Key Features
- Non-isolated 24V to 12V DC-DC conversion with an 80A continuous output current rating.
- IP20 protection rating, suitable for installation in enclosed, protected environments such as cabinets and panels.
- Binding post terminals for straightforward cable connection without specialist tooling.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.95kg, making it practical for space-constrained installations.
- Designed for use in dual-voltage DC systems, allowing 12V loads to be powered directly from a 24V supply.
- Victron Orion range is widely used across marine, vehicle, and off-grid applications where reliable voltage conversion is required.
Product Overview
The Orion 24/12-80 converts a 24V DC source down to a stable 12V DC output, delivering up to 80A. This makes it suitable for powering 12V equipment, accessories, or secondary battery systems from a 24V primary supply. The non-isolated design means the input and output share a common ground, which is standard practice in many vehicle and marine dual-voltage installations.
The IP20 enclosure rating means the unit is protected against solid objects greater than 12mm but is not water or dust resistant. Installation must be in a dry, enclosed location such as a switchboard cabinet, battery compartment, or electrical panel. The binding post terminals allow for quick and secure cable connections, which is useful during commissioning or in installations where cables may need to be reconfigured.
At 80A output, this converter can supply up to approximately 960W of 12V power continuously. This is sufficient for running a substantial 12V load bank alongside a 24V primary system, without the need for a separate 12V battery or charging circuit.

Installation Notes
This unit must be installed in a dry, protected enclosure given its IP20 rating. It is not suitable for exposure to moisture, condensation, or dust. The non-isolated design means input and output grounds are common, which must be accounted for in the system wiring design. 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 sides in accordance with the cable ratings and system design requirements.
