Test conditions and notes4

1.Efficiency, AC regulation and THD are tested by 250W, 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.

FAQ

What is the Mean Well NTS-250P-224 used for?

The NTS-250P-224 is a 250W true sine wave DC-AC inverter designed to convert 24V DC input power into 230V AC output. It is suited to business and industrial applications that need clean AC power from a battery-based DC source.

Does this inverter produce a true sine wave output?

Yes. The NTS-250P-224 provides a true sine wave output with total harmonic distortion below 3%. That makes it a better fit for equipment that requires cleaner AC power than modified sine wave alternatives.

What input and output voltage does the NTS-250P-224 support?

This model is a 24V DC input inverter with 230V AC output. Its AC output voltage range is selectable by DIP switch across several options, including 200V, 220V, 230V, and 240V AC, with 230V matching this version.

Can the NTS-250P-224 handle startup surges above its rated output?

Yes. Although its continuous power rating is 250W, it supports surge power up to 500W. It also has defined overload behavior, including support for 105 to 115% load for 180 seconds and 115 to 150% load for 10 seconds.

Is this inverter suitable for demanding temperature conditions?

Yes. The NTS-250P-224 has a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, subject to the manufacturer's derating curve. That curve covers both natural convection and forced air with a 10CFM fan, which can be connected to the unit's fan connector.

What battery types is the NTS-250P-224 compatible with?

This inverter is suitable for use with lead-acid or lithium-ion battery systems. It also includes DC input low-voltage shutdown at 20±0.5VDC to help protect the DC power source from over-discharge.

What protection features are included in the NTS-250P-224?

The unit includes AC output short circuit, overload and over-temperature protection, which shut down the output until the unit is re-powered. It also has DC input low- and high-voltage alarm and shutdown, and battery reverse-polarity protection by internal fuse.

How compact is the Mean Well NTS-250P-224?

The inverter measures 186 x 100.5 x 34 mm and weighs 0.87 kg. Its compact, built-in design makes it easier to place in space-constrained commercial or mobile power systems.
