Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-18A 18A (220W) Isolated DC-DC Charger or Power Supply
The Victron Orion-Tr Smart isolated DC-DC charger serves as a DC-DC battery charger or a power supply, offering a wide input and output voltage range. This is especially significant in the case of vehicles with a Euro 5 or Euro 6 smart alternator, which often supplies too low charging voltage even when the engine is running or when extended cable lengths, as is often the case in boats and RVs, lead to voltage drops. In such scenarios, precise and controlled charging is imperative to fully charge the service battery while protecting the starter/input battery from discharge.
Key Features
The Orion-Tr Smart isolated DC-DC charger is fully programmable and features an adaptive 3-stage charge algorithm, making it suitable for use in vehicles with smart alternators. The built-in engine shutdown detection will stop the converter when the engine is not running, preventing unwanted discharge of the starter battery. Additionally, a remote on/off switch or relay contact can be connected, and all models are short circuit proof and can be paralleled to increase output current.
Technical Specifications
The Victron Orion-Tr Smart isolated DC-DC charger has an input voltage range of 8-17V and an output voltage range of 10-15V. It has a continuous output current of 18A at a nominal output voltage of 12.2V, and an efficiency of 87%. The charger is also protected against high temperatures, with an operating temperature range of -20 to +55°C. It is also IP43 protected, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
Benefits
The Victron Orion-Tr Smart isolated DC-DC charger offers a range of benefits, including precise and controlled charging, protection against voltage drops, and remote on/off switching. It is also fully programmable and can be used as a power supply, making it a versatile and reliable charging solution.
Conclusion
The Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-18A 18A (220W) Isolated DC-DC Charger or Power Supply is a high-performance charging solution for vehicles, boats, and RVs. With its advanced features and technical specifications, it is the perfect choice for those who need a reliable and efficient charging system.
