Product Information

Full details

The Victron Energy Orion-Tr 24/24-5A (120W) is an isolated DC-DC converter designed for users needing reliable and stable 24V power from a 24V source, particularly where electrical isolation is critical. Its key benefit is providing galvanic isolation to protect sensitive electronics from noise and surges. A potential caveat is its fixed 5A output, which may be insufficient for higher-power demands. This converter efficiently transforms 24V DC to 24V DC, offering 120W of power with a stable 5A output, making it suitable for industrial machinery, renewable energy systems, and telecommunication setups.

FAQs

What is galvanic isolation and why is it important?

Galvanic isolation means there is no direct electrical connection between the input and output circuits. This is important because it prevents ground loops, protects sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and electrical noise from the input source, and enhances overall system safety.

Can I connect multiple Orion-Tr 24/24-5A converters together?

Yes, these converters can be paralleled to increase the total output current. Ensure they are all connected to the same input voltage source and their outputs are wired in parallel to the load. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions on paralleling.

What is the IP43 protection rating?

IP43 means the unit is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (e.g., tools, wires) and protected against water spray. For this rating to be effective, the unit must be installed with the screw terminals oriented downwards.

How do I use the remote on-off feature?

The remote on-off connector can be operated by a simple switch or integrated with an engine run/stop signal. Connect a low-power switch to the designated terminals. When the switch is closed (or the engine is running, depending on configuration), the converter is enabled. When open, it is disabled, shutting off the output.

What is the maximum continuous output current?

The Orion-Tr 24/24-5A provides a continuous output current of 5 Amps, with a total power output of 120 Watts.

Does the converter require cooling?

The converter features high-temperature protection and will reduce output current if it overheats. While it can operate without active cooling in many environments, ensure adequate natural ventilation. For applications with high ambient temperatures or continuous full load, active cooling (like a fan) might be beneficial.

What happens if the output is overloaded or short-circuited?

The Orion-Tr converter is short-circuit proof and features high-temperature protection. In case of a short circuit or overload, it will shut down to protect itself. Once the fault condition is removed, it will typically resume operation (after cooling down if it was a thermal event).

Troubleshooting

Converter not powering on or outputting voltage

Verify input voltage is within the 24V range and correctly connected. Check the remote on-off switch is engaged or the signal is present. Ensure there is no short circuit on the output.

Output voltage is unstable or fluctuating

Ensure the input voltage is stable. Check for loose connections on both input and output terminals. Verify the connected load does not exceed the 5A (120W) limit.

Unit overheats and reduces output current

Ensure adequate ventilation. Reduce the ambient temperature if possible. Check if the load current exceeds the continuous rating, especially at higher temperatures. Consider adding a fan for active cooling if necessary.

Converter shuts down unexpectedly

Check for conditions causing thermal shutdown (overheating) or overcurrent conditions. Verify input voltage is stable and within spec. Ensure connections are secure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides crucial galvanic isolation for sensitive electronics.
  • High conversion efficiency minimizes energy waste.
  • Compact and durable design suits various installations.
  • Remote on-off functionality simplifies system integration.
  • Short circuit and high-temperature protection enhance safety.
  • Scalable by paralleling units for increased output current.

Cons

  • Fixed 5A output may limit use in high-power applications.
  • Requires correct orientation for optimal IP43 protection.
  • Requires a 24V input source; not suitable for other voltage inputs.
  • Parallel operation requires careful planning and matching of units.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Securely mount the converter in a well-ventilated area. For IP43 protection, ensure the screw terminals are oriented downwards.
  2. Connections: Connect the input terminals to your 24V DC power source. Connect the output terminals to your 24V DC load.
  3. Remote On-Off: Connect a low-power switch or the engine run/stop signal to the remote on-off terminals for control.
  4. Check Polarity: Ensure correct polarity for both input and output connections.

Compatibility:

  • Input Voltage: Designed for 24V DC nominal input.
  • Output Voltage: Provides a regulated 24V DC output.
  • Load Compatibility: Suitable for loads requiring up to 5A (120W) at 24V DC.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Keep the unit clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the converter. Do not obstruct ventilation openings.
  • Environment: Protect from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures outside its operating range.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect wiring and connections for signs of wear or damage.
