CrimpVictron Orion-Tr 48/24-12
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.

The run drawn here is the 10 ft reference run sized below. Sized against ABYC E-11 — the US reference, and what Transport Canada accepts as an alternative to TP 1332 for pleasure craft under 24 m. Confirm your own run length, routing and terminations before ordering — open this part in the designer to size it against your actual system.
What size cable and fuse does the Orion 48/24-12 need?
Sized against ABYC E-11 — the US reference, and what Transport Canada accepts as an alternative to TP 1332 for pleasure craft under 24 m. 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 10 ft one-way run is a stated reference, not a universal installation prescription.

What else you need to wire the Orion 48/24-12
- 20 ft total of 11 AWG (4 mm²) marine cable
- Four 11 AWG 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

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 — the US reference, and what Transport Canada accepts as an alternative to TP 1332 for pleasure craft under 24 m. The published conductor, fuse and voltage-drop result uses the visible reference length and current basis; it is not a universal installation prescription.
