Test conditions and notes4

1.Efficiency, AC regulation and THD are tested by 300W, 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-300-212AU used for?

The NTS-300-212AU is a 300W true sine wave DC-AC inverter designed to convert 12V DC input into 230V AC output. It is suited to applications where clean AC power is needed from a DC battery source, such as mobile, vehicle, marine, and off-grid solar power systems.

Does this inverter produce a true sine wave output?

Yes, this model provides a true sine wave AC output with total harmonic distortion below 3%. That makes it a better choice for equipment that is sensitive to waveform quality compared with modified sine wave alternatives.

What are the main electrical ratings of the NTS-300-212AU?

This model is rated for 300W continuous power, with 230V AC output and 12V DC input. It also supports surge power up to 600W, which helps with loads that briefly require higher startup power.

Can the output voltage and frequency be adjusted on this model?

Yes, the AC output voltage and frequency are selectable by DIP switch. On this model the AC voltage options are 200/220/230/240VAC (default 230VAC) and the frequency can be set to 50Hz or 60Hz (default 50Hz).

Is the NTS-300-212AU suitable for demanding environments?

This inverter is built for a wide operating temperature range and is specified for operation up to 65°C. It also features conformal coating and a fanless design, which can be beneficial in environments where durability and low maintenance are important.

What protection features are included in the NTS-300-212AU?

The unit includes protection against short circuit, overload, and over voltage. It also includes battery over-discharge protection through low voltage disconnect, helping protect the DC power source during operation.

What battery types is this inverter compatible with?

The NTS-300-212AU is suitable for use with lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. Buyers should still confirm that the rest of the system matches the inverter's 12V DC input requirement.

What size and warranty does this model offer?

The inverter measures 210 x 130 x 55 mm and weighs 1.3 kg, making it relatively compact for a 300W unit. Mean Well specifies this model with a 3-year warranty.
