Computers and electronic products has become an integral part
of today's society. These devices equipped with
microprocessors and other sophisticated components play an
important role in our daily lives. However, the CPU, considered
to be the heart of these devices, is extremely susceptible to
fluctuations and other irregularities in power lines. As a result,
not only can these irregularities cause the CPU to stop
functioning or malfunction, there is also the possibility of these
leading to life-threatening accidents and other serious problems
that can become important concerns for society . For this reason,
it is absolutely critical to conduct a wide range of power supply
environment tests, including voltage fluctuations and power
outage simulations, to constantly ensure a high degree of safety .
The PCR-L series consists of a family of multipurpose AC
power supplies able to effectively respond to these types of
needs. In addition, the use of an optional remote controller
allows those functions to be expanded even further. Together
with being able to perform various types of power supply
environment testing, including simulation of power failures
and sudden voltage drops, these power supplies also allow
measurement and analysis of harmonics current to be
performed easily . In addition, they also realize a high level of
system compatibility through the offering of both GPIB and
RS-232C interfaces.
Applications (E.X.)
■ Power Supply Environment Testing
Since these power supplies are able to perform testing of power
outages, voltage drops, voltage surges and voltage peak clip
and so on of computers, OA equipment and other electronic
devices, they can be used over the entire spectrum of R&D
and quality assurance applications (upgrade options required).
■
Power Supply Harmonics Current Measurement Systems
These power supplies are able to perform measurement (and
analysis) of power supply harmonics current as well as measurement of related power factor and power without requiring
the use of an FFT analyzer or power meter as required in the
past (upgrade options required).
■ Production Line Automated Testing Systems
The installation of a GPIB or RS-232C interface allows these
power supplies to be used as FA and ATE programmable AC
power supplies (upgrade options required).
■ Global Commercial Power Supplies
Since a wide range of output voltages and frequencies can be
set as desired, these power supplies can be used as a diverse
range of AC power supplies for commercial power supplies
different for each country. In addition, output impedance can
also be varied (upgrade options required).
■ EMI Testing Sites
These power supplies are also available for use as AC power
supplies at open sites, radio wave darkrooms and shielded
rooms. Please inquire for further details.
• Please inquire separately regarding models having output capacities other than those
of standard systems.
• The standard system layout actually requires additional space for heat radiation and
wiring in the case of horizontal arrangement in a row.

plies. However, the panel can be given an even more professional

■ Measuring Functions
A full range of measuring functions contribute to greater work efficiency.
This function is useful when the load is located at a remote location
and it is desired to improve the stability of the voltage rms value at
that location (sensing point).
*Response characteristics, waveform distortion and other parameters
differ from the specifications of the PCR-L main unit during use of
the sensing function due to sudden changes in output stability and
load current.
■ Key-Lock Function
This function prevents key operation thorough the control panel to
prevent set values from being changed by accident.
■ Synchronous Function
This function allows the output voltage frequency and phase to be
synchronized to the frequency of the power source (50 / 60 Hz).
■ Self Test Function
This function performs self-diagnosis of the cause of abnormalities
when they occur (such as when a protective function is activated due
to an overload and so on).
The function of the PCR-L series can be further expanded
to include measurement and output waveform generation functions through the use of an optional remote
controller and interface boards.

6 Harmonics Current Analysis Function❏ or ❍/●
This function performs analysis of harmonics current for output current from the power supply. Although this measurement was conventionally measured using an FFT analyzer, the use of these power
supplies eliminates the need for this device. In addition, the use of a
standardized line impedance network as shown in the diagram below
also allows simulation of commercial power supplies.
7 Output Impedance Setting❏ or ❍/●
The output impedance of the PCR-L series is nearly 0Ω. However,
actual commercial power supplies have an impedance (resistance)
on the order of several mΩ. The members of the PCR-L series therefore allow output impedance to be varied to closely match actual
power supply environments.

Peak Hold Current Measurements❏ or ❍/●
In addition to these power supplies being equipped with a diverse
range of measuring functions, those functions can be further expanded
by connecting various options. Expanded functions consist of "power
factor measurement", "VA measurement" and "peak hold current
measurement". Measurement of peak hold current involves measuring the peak current until the power supply receives a peak clear
signal or command. This is useful for measuring rush current and so
on.
9 AC+DC Mode❏ or ❍/●
This function allows output of voltage waveforms in which AC voltage is superimposed on DC voltage. This mode allows these power
supplies to be used not only for various electronic devices, but for
chemical experiments and production equipment as well.
10Memory Function Expansion❏ or ❍/●
These power supplies allows storage of 9 sets of voltage and frequency settings as a standard feature (at memory addresses 1-9). These
settings can then be read out and output as necessary. The adding of
a memory expansion option allows up 99 sets of voltage and frequency settings to be stored in memory. In the AC+DC mode, AC
memory values and DC memory values are output simultaneously
thereby allowing memory operation in the AC+DC mode.

11Regulation Adjustment❏
This function is used for the same purpose as the "sensing function".
The sensing function measures the voltage at a specific sensing point
and then holds the voltage of that sensing point constant. In contrast,
the regulation adjustment function calculates the voltage drop caused
by output current and then raises the output voltage by the amount of
that drop. This function is used for stabilizing the voltage at the load
end when the power supply and load are located at a considerable
distance from each other.
Note: When using the regulation adjustment function, the voltage stabilization accuracy,
distortion factor and response speed will decrease below the level of performance
of the power supply.
The remote controller allows each of the functions on the
control panel of members of the PCR-L/LT series to be
manipulated while away from the control panel. Moreover, this
remote controller is composed of options for expanding
functions, including harmonics
current analysis, power line
irregularity simulation and
sequence operation, a remote
controller box a remote
controller card (inserted into a
slot in the main unit) and a
remote controller cable
(length:2m).
■ GPIB Interface(IB11-PCR-L)
The GPIB interface for the members of the
PCR-L/LT series allows programmable control
of the functions on the power supply control
panel as well as nearly all the expansion
functions available by using the RC02-PCR-L
remote controller. This interface also performs
readout of measured values.
■ RS-232C Interface (RS11-PCR-L)
The RS-232C interface for the PCR-L/LT
series allows readout of measured values and
programmable control of the functions on the
power supply control panel as well as nearly
all the expansion functions available by using
the RC02-PCR-L remote controller.
This option card is for expanding the
output capacity of members of the
PCR-L series by means of parallel
operation. This card is applicable to the
combinations shown at right.
*Some modification may be required
depending on the version of the power
supply main unit.
Note: In this application, the ROM version of the PCR-L series
must be Ver.2.00 or later.
■ Three-Phase Output Driver (3P02-PCR-L)
This option card is for
expanding the output of
members of the PCR-L series
to a three-phase output. This
card is applicable to the
combinations shown at right.
*Some modification may be
required depending on the
version of the power supply
main unit.

ries must be Ver.2.00 or later.
