FAQ

What is the Mean Well NTS-1700-212AU designed for?

The NTS-1700-212AU is a 1700W true sine wave DC-AC inverter for converting 12V DC input to 230V AC output. It is suited to professional and mobile power applications where clean AC output is important for sensitive equipment.

Does this inverter produce true sine wave output?

Yes. This model provides true sine wave output with total harmonic distortion below 3%, which makes it a better fit than modified sine wave units for equipment that requires stable, low-distortion AC power. The output voltage and frequency are selectable by DIP switch.

What output and surge capacity does this model offer?

The NTS-1700-212AU is rated for 1700W continuous output power. It also supports high surge power up to 3400W, which helps with loads that have a higher startup demand than their normal running load.

What battery types is the NTS-1700-212AU compatible with?

This inverter is suitable for use with lead-acid or lithium-ion battery systems on the DC input side. It also gives a low-voltage alarm at 11V and shuts down at 10V (restarting at 12.5V) to help protect the battery system.

Can this inverter be used in demanding temperature conditions?

Yes. The specified operating temperature range is -25°C to +70°C, with output derating at higher temperatures per Mean Well's derating curve, and the unit is cooled by a built-in fan. That makes it suitable for tougher industrial or vehicle-based environments, provided the overall application stays within the product's rated conditions.

What protection features are included in the NTS-1700-212AU?

This model includes protection for output short circuit, overload, over temperature and DC input high voltage, along with low-voltage shutdown for battery over-discharge protection. For overload behavior, the specification states 105-115% load for 180 seconds and 115-150% load for 10 seconds before protection operates.

Does this model support remote monitoring or remote control?

Yes. The NTS-1700-212AU supports power on-off remote control and has front panel indicators for operating status. It also supports RS-232 communication, while compatible remote controllers and communication cable are sold separately.

What approvals and physical size should buyers know about?

This inverter is approved to standards including IEC62368-1, EN62368-1, UL458, E13, EAC TP TC 004, and AS/NZS 62368.1. Its dimensions are 400 x 184 x 70 mm and unit weight is 4.63 kg.
