Test conditions and notes6
- 1.Efficiency, AC regulation and THD are tested by 75% load, linear load at 25Vdc/50Vdc/400Vdc input voltage.
- 2.All parameters not specified above are measured at 25Vdc/50Vdc/400Vdc input and 25℃ of ambient temperature and set to factory setting.
- 3.The tolerance of each voltage value by models is: 224→±0.5V; 248→±1V; 2380→±5V.
- 4.The power supply is considered as an independent unit, but the final equipment still need to re-confirm that the whole system complies with the EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- 5.Saving mode only activates when the unit is used independently and the RPL switch is in the ON position.
- 6.During withstand voltage and isolation resistance testing, the screw "A" shall be temporarily removed, and shall be installed back after the testing.

FAQ
What kind of product is the Mean Well NTN-5K-124CAN?
The NTN-5K-124CAN is a multi-function power unit that combines an AC-DC charger, a DC-AC true sine wave inverter, and AC bypass for the load in one model. It is designed for 24V DC input systems and provides 110V AC output. This makes it suitable for backup power and power conversion applications where charger and inverter functions are both needed.
Is the NTN-5K-124CAN a pure sine wave inverter?
Yes. This model provides pure sine wave AC output with total harmonic distortion below 3%. That is useful for loads that need cleaner AC power than modified sine wave designs typically provide.
Can the NTN-5K-124CAN be used in UPS or backup power applications?
Yes, this model is built for that type of use because it combines an inverter, a high-power AC charger, and AC bypass for the load. Its built-in charger is rated up to 3600W (120A constant current), and the unit also supports remote ON/OFF control. Those features make it a practical choice for battery-backed power systems that need continuous AC output support.
What battery types are compatible with the NTN-5K-124CAN?
Mean Well specifies this model as compatible with both lead acid and li-ion batteries. The DC input range for the 24V version is 19 to 33Vdc. Buyers should match the battery system voltage to the 24V input version of this inverter/charger.
Can multiple NTN-5K-124CAN units be used together for higher capacity?
Yes. Mean Well states that up to 6 units of AC output can be paralleled, with total output current limited to the rated current per unit x number of units x 95%. The product information also notes that 3 NTN-5K units can be configured for 3-phase 4-wire output, and two 124 units for split-phase 1Ø 3-wire.
What protections are built into the NTN-5K-124CAN?
This model includes multiple built-in protections on both the DC input and AC output sides. DC-side protections include reverse polarity, low voltage alarm (22V) and shutdown (19V), and high voltage alarm (31V) and shutdown (33V), while AC-side protections include short circuit, overload, and over temperature, plus a 50A circuit breaker. These protection functions are part of the standard design for this model.
Is the NTN-5K-124CAN suitable for demanding temperature environments?
Yes. This model is rated for operation from -30C to +70C (with load derating per the derating curve), which is a wider temperature range than many standard indoor power units. Working humidity is 20% to 90% RH non-condensing, so it should be installed where condensation cannot form.
Does the NTN-5K-124CAN support remote monitoring or system communication?
Yes. The NTN-5K-124CAN supports Modbus-RTU over RS-485 and CAN bus communication. It also has built-in remote ON/OFF control, which can be useful in monitored or centrally managed power systems.
