Overview

What it is

The MEAN WELL NTU-3200-212UN is a DC-AC inverter from the NTU-3200 series (3200 W High Reliable True Sine Wave with UPS DC-AC Power Inverter), rated 12 V DC to 230 V AC, 3200 W.

What it is used for

Converts battery DC power into 230 V AC mains-type power and passes mains through when available, switching to the battery within about 10 ms during a power failure. Used to run AC equipment from a battery bank at remote or off-grid sites. MEAN WELL lists applications such as home and office appliances, power tools, vehicles and yachts, off-grid solar power systems.

Key features

Built-in UPS function with AC bypass.
True sine wave output (THD below 3%).
