Description
xVictron Orion-Tr 24/12-20A (240W) Isolated DC-DC Converter
The Victron Orion-Tr 24/12-20A is a galvanically isolated DC-DC converter that steps a 24V DC input down to a regulated 12V DC output at up to 20A (240W). It is designed for professional use in vehicles, vessels, off-grid systems and any application where two separate DC voltage rails must be kept electrically isolated from one another.
Key Features
- Galvanic isolation between input and output, preventing ground loops and protecting sensitive electronics on the 12V side.
- 24V input to 12V output conversion at a continuous 20A (240W) output rating.
- Wide input voltage range suitable for real-world 24V battery systems, including partial charge and absorption voltage conditions.
- Compact, enclosed housing with a weight of 1.3 kg, suitable for mounting in confined spaces.
- Output voltage is adjustable, allowing fine-tuning to match the requirements of the connected 12V loads or battery.
- Designed for use in dual-battery systems, split charging setups and DC distribution boards where voltage conversion and isolation are both required.
Product Overview
The Orion-Tr range uses a transformer-based topology to provide true galvanic isolation between the input and output circuits. This is a practical requirement in many marine and vehicle installations, where a shared ground between two battery banks or voltage rails can cause corrosion, interference or fault propagation. The isolation barrier means the two circuits are electrically independent, even though power is transferred between them.
At 240W continuous output, this unit is well suited to powering 12V loads from a 24V house bank, charging a 12V service battery from a 24V alternator system, or supplying a 12V distribution circuit in a mixed-voltage installation. The adjustable output voltage gives installers the flexibility to compensate for cable voltage drop or to set a specific charge voltage when the unit is used to top up a secondary battery.
The Orion-Tr is a non-smart (non-MPPT, non-Bluetooth) converter. It does not include load detection or programmable charge algorithms. For applications requiring adaptive charging profiles or remote monitoring, Victron's Orion-Tr Smart range should be considered instead.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC power systems. Ensure the input wiring is correctly fused close to the source battery and that cable sizing is appropriate for the input current at 24V. The output should also be fused independently. In marine applications, follow NMEA or RCD 2013/53/EU wiring standards as applicable. The unit must be mounted in a ventilated location and kept clear of water ingress. Do not exceed the rated input voltage range.
