Test conditions and notes4

1.Efficiency, AC regulation and THD are tested by 450W, 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. 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 )

FAQ

What is the Mean Well NTS-450-212AU designed for?

The NTS-450-212AU is a 450W true sine wave DC-AC inverter that converts 12V DC input to 230V AC output. It is suited to business and mobile power applications where clean AC output is needed for equipment that is sensitive to waveform quality.

Does this inverter produce a true sine wave output?

Yes. This model provides a true sine wave output with total harmonic distortion below 3%, which makes it a better fit for many sensitive AC-powered devices than modified sine wave alternatives. Its 230V AC output is part of a selectable output range set by DIP switch.

What are the key electrical specifications of the NTS-450-212AU?

This inverter is rated for 450W continuous output power and supports surge power up to 900W. It uses a 12V DC input and offers selectable AC output voltages of 200, 220, 230 or 240VAC, with 230VAC as the default, by DIP switch selection.

Can the NTS-450-212AU be used with different battery types?

Yes. Mean Well states that this inverter is suitable for lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. It also includes battery over-discharge protection with low voltage disconnect to help protect the power source.

Is this inverter suitable for demanding environments?

It is designed for a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, with output derated at higher ambient temperatures according to the derating curve. The unit also includes conformal coating and a temperature-controlled cooling fan, which support use in tougher operating conditions.

What protection features are included in this model?

The NTS-450-212AU includes protection for short circuit, overload, and over voltage conditions. It also has battery over-discharge protection and overload behavior defined for specific load ranges and durations.

What physical size and warranty does this inverter have?

The unit measures 210 x 130 x 55 mm and weighs 1.3 kg, making it relatively compact for a 450W inverter. Mean Well lists this model with a 3-year warranty.
