FAQ

What is the Mean Well NTU-1700-248AU used for?

The NTU-1700-248AU is a 1700W true sine wave DC-AC inverter designed to convert 48V DC input to 200-240VAC output (default 230VAC). It is suited to business and industrial applications that need clean AC power from a DC battery system, including mobile, backup, and off-grid power setups.

Does this inverter produce a true sine wave output?

Yes. This model provides a true sine wave AC output with total harmonic distortion below 3%, which makes it a better fit for sensitive electronics than modified sine wave alternatives. That output quality is one of the key differentiators of the NTU series.

What input and output ratings does the NTU-1700-248AU have?

This model is rated for 1700W continuous output power and uses a 48V DC input (40~66VDC range). Its AC output voltage is selectable by DIP switch at 200/220/230/240VAC (default 230VAC) and 50/60Hz, with an AU socket on this model.

Does the NTU-1700-248AU support AC bypass or UPS-style operation?

Yes. The NTU-1700-248AU includes a built-in UPS function with AC by-pass capability. This allows the unit to support applications where pass-through AC availability is an important requirement.

Can this inverter handle startup surges above its continuous rating?

Yes. The NTU-1700-248AU supports surge power up to 3400W, which helps with loads that draw a higher startup current than their normal running power. Its overload behavior is also specified, including 105 to 115% load for 180 seconds and 115 to 150% load for 10 seconds.

Is the NTU-1700-248AU suitable for demanding environments?

This model is designed for wide operating temperatures from -25C to +70C, subject to the output derating curve. It also uses a built-in cooling fan and is rated for 10~500Hz, 3G vibration, which support use in tougher operating conditions.

What battery types is the NTU-1700-248AU compatible with?

Mean Well specifies this inverter as suitable for lead-acid and lithium-ion battery systems. It also includes battery over-discharge protection with low voltage disconnect, which is relevant for battery-based applications.

What protections and warranty does this inverter include?

The NTU-1700-248AU includes protection for output short circuit, overload, over temperature, and DC input over-voltage (high shutdown at 66±1VDC), along with battery over-discharge protection (low shutdown at 40±1VDC). The spec sheet does not state a warranty period.
