DC-DC Converter | Victron | Orion 110/12-30A (360W) Isolated DC-DC converter
Product Details
The Victron Orion 110/12-30A is an isolated DC-DC voltage converter designed for industrial and specialist vehicle applications operating on 110V DC systems — including forklifts, electric vehicles, rail equipment, and other equipment powered by high-voltage DC bus systems. It converts 110V DC input (60–140V DC range) to a stable 12.5V DC output at up to 30A (360W) with full galvanic isolation between input, output, and chassis. Note: this is a power supply converter, not a battery charger — it delivers regulated DC voltage for powering 12V loads and accessories.
Installation note: The Orion 110/12-30A is rated IP20. It must be mounted inside an enclosure or electrical cabinet — it is not suitable for open or unprotected installation.
Key Features
- Galvanic Isolation — Eliminates ground loops and protects sensitive electronics in mixed-voltage systems.
- High Efficiency — Minimises energy loss and heat generation for reliable continuous operation.
- Short-Circuit Protected — Built-in protection against shorts, overheating, and reverse polarity.
- Adjustable Output Voltage — Fine-tune output to suit your specific load requirements.
- Temperature-Controlled Fan — Automatic cooling management for sustained full-load operation.
- Wide Input Range — Accepts 60–140V DC, covering standard 110V DC industrial bus systems.

Ideal For
Industrial & Forklift Systems: The Orion 110/12-30A is purpose-built for powering 12V DC accessories and control circuits from a 110V DC industrial bus — the standard operating voltage for forklifts, industrial vehicles, and materials handling equipment. The isolated output protects sensitive electronics from the noisy high-voltage bus and eliminates ground loop interference in complex wiring environments.
Electric Vehicles & Rail Equipment: Electric vehicles and rail/transit equipment frequently use 60–140V DC traction bus systems. The Orion 110/12-30A converts this bus voltage to a stable 12.5V DC supply for onboard accessories, control systems, and auxiliary loads — without connecting the high-voltage system ground to the low-voltage circuit.
Off-Grid & Fixed Industrial: For off-grid systems or fixed industrial installations running a 110V DC bus, this converter provides a reliable, isolated 12V DC power supply for instrumentation, communications equipment, and control panels. Note: for battery-to-battery charging applications, see the Victron Orion-Tr Smart range.
System Integration
The Orion 110/12-30A operates as a standalone DC-DC power supply. It does not include VE.Direct, Bluetooth, remote on/off, or parallel operation capability. Installation requires appropriate DC fusing, cabling, and ventilation — refer to the Victron datasheet or contact the Revolution Power team for installation guidance. The unit must be housed inside a suitable enclosure or electrical cabinet (IP20 rating).
