  • Parallel connection of unlimited units increases available output current
  • IP43 rating when terminals face downwards protects against splashing water
  • Screw terminals enable installation without special tools

24V to 12V DC-DC Converter

The Victron Energy Orion-Tr 24/12-15 converts a 24 volt DC source to a regulated 12 volt output. It supplies up to 180 watts of continuous power for charging auxiliary batteries or running 12 volt loads in vehicles and off-grid systems. The unit is brand new and intended for installers who need isolated voltage conversion without a high-current switch in the main feed.

Adjustable Output for Battery Charging

The output voltage can be adjusted so the converter doubles as a battery charger for a 12 volt starter or accessory bank. This single setting decides whether the unit matches your charging profile, because the voltage must suit the specific battery chemistry and system voltage you are using. No other specifications in the data determine compatibility.

IP43 Rating and Parallel Operation

When mounted with screw terminals facing downwards the housing meets IP43 protection against solid objects and spraying water. The converter is short-circuit proof and any number of units can be paralleled to increase output current. An internal input fuse is fitted on the 24 volt models, and the remote on-off terminal allows low-power switching without a heavy cable run.

Questions about this item

What does the 180W rating mean when the Orion-Tr 24/12-15 is installed in a 24V system?

It delivers up to 180W continuous power at a regulated 12V output, with adjustable voltage that also allows use as a battery charger for a 12V starter or accessory bank.

What input and output voltage standard does this converter use and what does it limit in practice?

It steps down 24V DC to 12V DC, capping output at 15A, and includes an input fuse on the 24V side for protection.

What mounting orientation and terminal type does the Orion-Tr 24/12-15 need to fit and achieve its rated protection?

Screw terminals require no special tools; IP43 protection is met when the unit is mounted with terminals facing downwards.
