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-450-224AU used for?
The NTS-450-224AU is a 450W true sine wave DC-AC inverter that converts 24V DC input power to 230V AC output. It is suited to applications that need clean AC power from a DC battery source, including commercial, mobile, and off-grid equipment.
Does the NTS-450-224AU provide true sine wave output?
Yes. This model produces a true sine wave AC output with total harmonic distortion below 3%, which helps support equipment that performs best on clean, stable AC power. That makes it a better fit than modified sine wave units for more sensitive loads.
What input and output ratings does this inverter have?
The NTS-450-224AU is rated for 24V DC input and 230V AC output, with a continuous power rating of 450W. It also supports surge power up to 900W for short peak demand.
Can the output voltage and frequency be selected on this model?
Yes. The product specification states that AC output voltage and frequency are selectable by DIP switch. On this model the AC output can be set to 200, 220, 230 (default) or 240VAC, and the frequency to 50Hz (default) or 60Hz.
Is the NTS-450-224AU suitable for harsh or variable temperature environments?
This inverter is designed for wide-temperature operation, with a specified working range of -25°C to +70°C; output must be derated at higher ambient temperatures according to the derating curve. It also includes a temperature-controlled cooling fan and conformal coating, which support use in demanding environments.
What battery types is the NTS-450-224AU compatible with?
According to the product specification, this model is suitable for lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. It also includes battery over-discharge protection with low voltage disconnect to help protect the input power source.
What protection features are included in the NTS-450-224AU?
The inverter includes protection against short circuit, overload, and input over voltage conditions. It also provides low voltage disconnect for battery over-discharge protection, and over temperature shutdown with recovery after re-powering.
What are the physical size and warranty for this inverter?
The specified dimensions are 210 x 130 x 55 mm, and the listed product weight is 1.3 kg. Mean Well backs this model with a 3-year warranty.
