Victron Orion-Tr 48/24-12

Model Orion-Tr 48/24-12 (280W)

Isolated 48→24 V step-down DC-DC converter, 12 A output (280W). Common on hybrid sailboats that run a 48 V propulsion bank AND a 24 V house / autopilot / electronics bus (Raymarine high-power radar, Lewmar 24 V windlasses). Output goes to a 24 V battery or directly to the 24 V bus.

01 — Reference run

A sizing result with its assumptions attached.

Conductor4 mm²11 AWG
Fuse15 Apositive run
Voltage drop2.6%3 m one way
Design current12 A12 V system

Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The design current is the unit's rated output. The Crimp engine applies its ordinary continuous-load headroom, voltage-drop budget, terminal clamp, and standard fuse ladder. The 3 m one-way run is a stated reference, not a universal installation prescription.

03 — Supporting parts

What belongs around it.

  • 6 m total of 4 mm² (11 AWG) marine cable
  • Four 4 mm² cable lugs matched to the equipment studs
  • 15 A fuse and holder on the positive run
  • Heat-shrink, strain relief, and terminal boots sized to the cable

What is known, assumed, and computed.

Catalog profile

The manufacturer, model, ratings and terminal map are maintained as planning data in Crimp's component catalog. Confirm the current manufacturer manual, exact revision and installed nameplate before ordering or wiring.

Engine reference

Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The published conductor, fuse and voltage-drop result uses the visible reference length and current basis; it is not a universal installation prescription.
