1.Efficiency, AC regulation and THD are tested by 1350W load, linear load at 12.5Vdc/25Vdc/50Vdc input voltage.
2.No load dissipation at non-saving mode(Typ.): 112/124/148 for 16W, 212/224/248 for 29W.
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 NTU-1700-224AU designed for?

The NTU-1700-224AU is a 1700W true sine wave DC-AC inverter for converting 24V DC input power to 200-240VAC output (default 230VAC). It is suited to professional and commercial applications that need stable AC power from a 24V battery-based system. This model also includes an AU socket and AC by-pass function.

Does this inverter produce true sine wave output?

Yes. The NTU-1700-224AU provides true sine wave AC output with total harmonic distortion below 3%. That makes it a better fit for sensitive electronics and equipment that require cleaner AC power than modified sine wave alternatives.

What does the AC by-pass function do on this model?

This model has a built-in UPS function with AC by-pass. That means it supports passing AC through the unit as part of its operating design rather than serving only as a standalone inverter. For buyers comparing models, this is one of the key differentiators of the NTU-1700-224AU.

What battery types is the NTU-1700-224AU compatible with?

Mean Well specifies this inverter as suitable for lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. It also includes battery over-discharge protection with low voltage disconnect. The DC input for this model is 24V.

Can this inverter handle startup surges above its rated power?

Yes. Although its continuous power rating is 1700W, the NTU-1700-224AU supports surge power up to 3400W. It also has overload protection behavior defined for 105 to 115% load for 180 seconds and 115 to 150% load for 10 seconds.

Is the NTU-1700-224AU suitable for harsh operating environments?

It is designed for wide-temperature operation from -25°C to +70°C, subject to the output derating curve. The unit also uses a built-in cooling fan and is rated for 20~90% RH non-condensing humidity and 10~500Hz, 3G vibration. These ratings make it a strong choice for demanding industrial or mobile environments.

What certifications and warranty does this inverter have?

The NTU-1700-224AU is listed with approvals including CB IEC62368-1, BS EN/EN62368-1, UL458, E13, EAC TP TC 004, and AS/NZS 62368.1. EMC compliance includes EN55032 Class A and related EN61000-4 standards. The spec sheet refers to its AC output socket table for socket-specific approvals and does not state a warranty period.
