Description
xVictron Orion 12/24-10 DC-DC Converter IP20
The Victron Orion 12/24-10 is a non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps up a 12V input to a 24V output at up to 10A. It is designed for professional installations where a stable 24V supply is needed from a 12V battery source, such as in vehicles, marine systems and off-grid panels. The IP20 rating makes it suitable for enclosed, protected environments.
Key Features
- Converts 12V DC input to 24V DC output at up to 10A continuous output current.
- Non-isolated topology: input and output share a common ground, which simplifies wiring in many vehicle and marine applications.
- IP20 protection rating: suitable for installation inside enclosures, control panels or protected compartments.
- Compact and lightweight at 182g, making it practical for space-constrained installations.
- Fixed output voltage of 24V, providing a consistent supply for 24V loads powered from a 12V battery bank.
- SKU ORI122410020, GTIN 8719076022749, manufactured by Victron Energy.
Product Overview
The Orion 12/24-10 is a boost converter, not a charger. It raises the voltage from a 12V source to 24V to power 24V equipment directly. Because it is non-isolated, the negative terminals of the input and output are connected internally. This is an important consideration when integrating it into systems where ground loops or chassis earthing could cause issues. In straightforward single-battery vehicle or panel installations, the non-isolated design is generally well suited and keeps the unit compact and cost-effective.
At 10A output, the converter can deliver up to 240W of 24V power. The input current draw from the 12V source will be proportionally higher (approximately 20A plus conversion losses), so cable sizing and fusing on the input side must be calculated accordingly. The IP20 enclosure rating means the unit is protected against solid objects larger than 12mm but offers no protection against moisture. It must be installed in a dry, enclosed location away from direct exposure to water, condensation or spray.

Installation Notes
This unit must be installed in a dry, enclosed location. The IP20 rating provides no water or moisture protection, so it is not suitable for engine bays, bilges or any area subject to condensation or spray. Because the converter is non-isolated, verify that a shared ground between input and output is compatible with your system before installation. Input wiring must be correctly fused close to the battery to protect against short-circuit current. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person familiar with DC power systems.
