FAQ
What is the Mean Well NTS-1700-224AU used for?
The NTS-1700-224AU is a true sine wave DC-AC inverter designed to convert 24V DC input into 230V AC output. It is suited to professional and mobile power applications where clean AC power is needed for sensitive equipment and higher continuous loads up to 1700W.
What are the key output specifications of the NTS-1700-224AU?
This model provides 1700W continuous output power with high surge capability up to 3400W. It delivers a true sine wave AC output with THD below 3%, and the AC voltage and frequency are selectable by DIP switch within the supported ranges listed by Mean Well.
Is the output from this inverter suitable for sensitive electronics?
Yes. The NTS-1700-224AU produces a true sine wave output with total harmonic distortion below 3%, which makes it a better choice than modified sine wave units for equipment that requires cleaner AC power. This is one of the main differentiators of the NTS series.
What battery types is the NTS-1700-224AU compatible with?
Mean Well specifies this inverter as suitable for use with lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. This model is the 24V input version, so it should be matched with a 24V DC battery system.
Can this inverter be used in demanding temperature conditions?
Yes. The NTS-1700-224AU has a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, subject to the manufacturer's derating guidance. It also includes a built-in cooling fan to help manage thermal performance under load.
What protection features are built into the NTS-1700-224AU?
This inverter includes protection against output short circuit, overload, over temperature and DC input high voltage, along with battery low-voltage shutdown. Mean Well also specifies overload behavior of 105 to 115% load for 180 seconds and 115 to 150% load for 10 seconds.
Does the NTS-1700-224AU support remote monitoring or accessories?
Yes. The inverter supports power on-off remote control and optional remote controllers including IRC1, IRC2, and IRC3, which are sold separately. It also supports RS-232 communication using the specified optional communication cable.
What certifications does this model include?
The NTS-1700-224AU is listed with approvals including CB IEC62368-1, Dekra BS EN/EN62368-1, UL458, E13, EAC TP TC 004, and AS/NZS 62368.1.
