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 NTU-3200-212AU designed for?

The NTU-3200-212AU is a 3200W true sine wave DC-AC inverter for applications that need clean AC output from a 12V DC source. It is suited to professional and commercial use where stable waveform quality, high surge capacity, and built-in AC by-pass support are important.

Does this inverter produce true sine wave output?

Yes. This model provides 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. It is built for applications where output quality matters as much as power capacity.

What output voltage options does the NTU-3200-212AU support?

This inverter supports selectable AC output voltages of 200/220/230/240VAC via DIP switch selection, with 230VAC as the factory setting. The product name identifies this version as a 12V input model with 220V-class output and an AU socket configuration.

Can this model handle startup surges above its continuous rating?

Yes. The NTU-3200-212AU has a continuous power rating of 3200W and supports surge power up to 6400W. It also includes overload protection behavior specified at 105 to 115% load for 180 seconds and 115 to 150% load for 10 seconds.

Does the NTU-3200-212AU include AC by-pass or UPS-style functionality?

Yes. This model includes a built-in UPS function with AC by-pass, which is one of its key differentiators in the NTU series. That makes it suitable for applications where maintaining AC availability is an important requirement.

What battery types is this inverter compatible with?

The NTU-3200-212AU is suitable for both lead-acid and lithium-ion battery systems. It also includes low DC input voltage protection (alarm at 11V, shutdown at 10V, restart at 12.5V) to help protect the connected battery source.

Is this inverter suitable for demanding environments?

Yes. The published working temperature range is -25°C to +70°C, with output derating referenced at higher temperatures. It is fan-cooled and includes over-temperature protection that shuts down the output until re-powered.

What certifications and warranty does this model include?

The NTU-3200-212AU is listed with approvals including CB IEC62368-1, BS EN/EN62368-1, E13, EAC TP TC 004, and AS/NZS 62368.1, with EMC compliance to EN55032 Class A and related EN61000 standards. The spec sheet does not state a warranty period.
