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-450-248AU used for?
The NTS-450-248AU is a 450W true sine wave DC-AC inverter designed to convert 48V DC input into 230V AC output. It is suited to applications that need clean AC power from a DC battery source, including commercial, industrial, and mobile power systems.
Does this inverter produce true sine wave output?
Yes. The NTS-450-248AU provides a true sine wave output with total harmonic distortion below 3%, which helps support sensitive AC equipment better than modified sine wave alternatives. This makes it a stronger choice where output quality matters.
What input and output voltages does the NTS-450-248AU support?
This model is built for 48V DC input and is specified here with 230V AC output. The product data also states that AC output voltage and frequency are selectable by DIP switch, with multiple voltage options listed including 200V, 220V, 230V, and 240V AC.
Can this inverter handle startup surges above its rated power?
Yes. Although its continuous power rating is 450W, it supports surge power up to 900W. The specification also lists overload capability of 105 to 115% load for 180 seconds and 115 to 150% load for 10 seconds.
Is the NTS-450-248AU suitable for harsh or variable environments?
It is designed for a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, with output derated at higher temperatures per the derating curve, and has conformal coating for added durability. The inverter also uses a temperature-controlled cooling fan and includes protection for short circuit, overload, over voltage, and battery low voltage disconnect.
What battery types is the NTS-450-248AU compatible with?
The product is stated to be suitable for lead-acid or li-ion batteries. Its low voltage disconnect feature also helps protect the battery from over-discharge during operation.
What are the size, weight, and warranty for this inverter?
The listed dimensions are 210 x 130 x 55 mm, and the product weight is 1.3 kg. Mean Well specifies a 3-year warranty for this model.
