Test conditions and notes5

1.Efficiency, AC regulation and THD are tested by 2400W load, linear load at 12.5Vdc/25Vdc/50Vdc input voltage.
2.No load dissipation at non-saving mode(Typ.): 112/124/148 for 25W, 212/224/248 for 55W.
3.All parameters not specified above are measured at rated load, 25℃ of ambient temperature and set to factory setting.
4.Internal pre-start circuit, the setup time is 8s.
5.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-3200-212AU used for?

The NTS-3200-212AU is a DC-AC inverter that converts 12V DC input power into 230V AC output. It is suited to applications that need high-power true sine wave AC from a battery-based DC source. This model includes an AU socket and is designed for commercial and industrial power conversion use.

What output power does the NTS-3200-212AU provide?

This model is rated for 3200W continuous output power. It also supports surge power up to 6400W for short-duration peak demand. That makes it suitable for loads that need higher startup headroom than their normal running power.

Does this inverter produce a true sine wave output?

Yes, the NTS-3200-212AU provides a true sine wave AC output with total harmonic distortion below 3%. That is important for sensitive electronics and equipment that require cleaner AC power. Compared with modified sine wave inverters, it is better suited to demanding professional applications.

What input and output voltage does this model use?

The NTS-3200-212AU is a 12V input inverter with 230V AC output as listed for this model. Its general specification also states that AC output voltage can be selected by DIP switch across multiple standard voltage settings. For this specific variant, the stated output is 230V and it includes an AU socket format.

Can the NTS-3200-212AU be used with different battery chemistries?

Yes, the product is specified as suitable for both lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. It also gives a low-voltage alarm at 11±0.3Vdc and shuts down at 10±0.3Vdc input. That helps protect the connected battery system from being drained too deeply.

Is this inverter suitable for harsh or variable environments?

The NTS-3200-212AU is designed for wide operating temperatures, with the product data listing operation from -25°C up to 70°C, with load derating at higher temperatures. It is fan-cooled and specified for 10–500Hz, 3G vibration. These ratings make it well suited to demanding industrial and mobile installations.

What protection and control features are included?

This inverter includes output short-circuit, overload and over-temperature protection, along with DC input low- and high-voltage shutdown. It also supports remote power on/off control and has front-panel indicators for operating status. It has a built-in RS-232 port; the IRC remote controllers and RJ11-RS232 cable are available separately.
