Overview
What it is
The MEAN WELL NTN-5K-224 is a DC-AC inverter from the NTN-5K series (5KW True Sine Wave Inverter with AC Charger / UPS), rated 24 V DC to 230 V AC, 5000 W.
What it is used for
Backup power system that charges a 24 V battery bank from the mains, passes mains power to the load, and runs the load from the battery as a true sine wave 230 V AC supply when the mains fails. MEAN WELL lists applications such as home and office appliances, off-grid solar power systems, wireless networks, telecom or datacom systems.
