Test conditions and notes4

1.Efficiency, AC regulation and THD are tested by 250W, linear load at 12.5Vdc/25Vdc/50Vdc input voltage.
2.All parameters not specified above are measured at rated load, 25℃ of ambient temperature and set to factory setting.
3.Internal pre-start circuit, the setup time is 8s.
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.

FAQ

What is the Mean Well NTS-250P-248 designed for?

The NTS-250P-248 is a 250W true sine wave DC-AC inverter that converts 48V DC input to 230V AC output. It is intended for applications that need clean AC power from a 48V battery-based system, especially where waveform quality matters for sensitive equipment.

Does this inverter produce true sine wave output?

Yes. The NTS-250P-248 provides a true sine wave AC output with total harmonic distortion below 3%. That makes it a better fit than modified sine wave units for loads that require cleaner, more stable AC power.

What input and output voltage does this model use?

This model is the 48V DC input (40 to 66VDC range), 230V AC output version of the NTS-250P series. Its AC output voltage is selectable by DIP switch between 200, 220, 230 and 240VAC, with 230VAC as the default setting.

Can the NTS-250P-248 handle startup surges above its rated power?

Yes. Although its continuous power rating is 250W, it supports surge power up to 500W. The overload specification also states it can tolerate 105 to 115% load for 180 seconds and 115 to 150% load for 10 seconds.

Is this inverter suitable for demanding environments?

It is built for a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, subject to the output derating curve. The derating curve covers natural convection cooling as well as forced air with a 10CFM fan, which can be connected to the unit's fan connector. It is also rated for 10 to 500Hz, 3G vibration.

What battery types is the NTS-250P-248 compatible with?

Mean Well specifies this inverter as suitable for lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. It also includes DC input low-voltage shutdown at 40±1VDC, which helps protect the connected battery system from over-discharge.

What protection features are included in this model?

The NTS-250P-248 includes AC output short circuit, overload and over-temperature protection, plus DC input low- and high-voltage alarm and shutdown and battery reverse-polarity protection by internal fuse. For output faults, the output shuts down and the unit recovers after re-powering on.
