Turn Orion 24-24/5 isolated into non-isolated?


Hello everyone,

I need a stabilized 24V power supply for network equipment on a boat. The boat has a 24V system, and I want to use a Victron Orion 24-24/5. Unfortunately, it is only available as an isolated version. My question is whether it is a problem to connect the negative terminals of the input and output. This connection might happen elsewhere in the system through cable shielding. However, I want to make sure and prefer to do it controlled directly at the Orion. Alternatively, is there another option? I need 24V for a PoE device that cannot tolerate higher voltage (such as the 28V charge termination voltage of the system).

Many greetings.

Negs can be connected and joined to a common earth/neg. What you can't do is simply join them.
