WARNING
This unit cannot be used on voltage lines of 600 Vrms. If the
voltage exceeds 600 VAC, there will be a short-circuit accident or
electrocution accident will result.
The maximum input voltage and current are 600 Vrms, 60 Arms. Do
not exceed the maximum input voltage and current. Doing so can
damage the unit or cause a serious accident.
The maximum rated voltage between input terminals and ground is
600 Vrms. Attempting to measure voltages exceeding 600 Vrms
with respect to ground could damage the instrument and result in
personal injury.
Always connect the powermeter input to the secondary side of the
breaker. On the secondary side of a breaker, even if the lines are
shorted the breaker can trip and prevent an accident. On the
primary side, however, the current capacity may be large, and in
the event of a short-circuit there may be a serious accident.
Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage of the power
supply being used matches the supply voltage indicated on the rear
panel of the unit. If an attempt is made to use an improper supply
voltage, there is danger of damage to this unit and of life-threatening
risk to the operator.
In order to prevent electric shock and short-circuit accidents, shut
off the power to the line to be measured before connecting the
direct connection voltage and current cables to the terminals.
Be sure to connect the voltage input terminals or current input
terminals correctly. Measurement which is attempted with the wiring
connected incorrectly may cause damage to the unit or a shortcircuit.
Since the power switch is of a micro gap construction, always use
near an outlet.When not in use and when connecting a device to be
measured, make sure that the power cord is unplugged, or any other
means so that the unit is cut off from the power.
The unit is constructed so as to be connected to a ground line via a
three-core power cord that is supplied with the unit. In order to
avoid electric shock, connect the unit to a properly grounded (3-pin)
outlet using the power cord provided.
Do not remove the case of the unit. There are components inside
carrying high voltages or becoming hot, and this could cause an
electric shock accident.
Do not use the unit where it may be exposed to corrosive or
explosive gases. The unit may be damaged, or explosion may occur.
・ Before measurement, check the position of the measurement range.
The unit may be damaged if voltage or current at levels in excess of
the measurement limit is applied for a long time.
・ To avoid damage to the unit, do not short the output terminal and do
not input voltage to the output terminal.
・ Do not store or use the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity, or condensation. If exposed to such
conditions, the unit may be damaged, the insulation may deteriorate,
and the unit may no longer satisfy its specifications.
・ This unit is designed for indoor use and can be safely used at
temperatures ranging from 0℃ to 40℃.
・ To avoid damage to the unit, do not subject the equipment to
vibrations or shocks during transport or handling. Be especially careful
to avoid dropping the equipment.
・ Should the unit emit smoke, or a strange smell or strange sound,
immediately stop testing operations, power the unit off, and remove the
power cord from the outlet, shut off the circuit being tested,
disconnect the unit, and consult your HIOKI representative. Continued
use of the unit could lead to fire or electric shock accidents.
・ Do not insert foreign objects through the ventilation holes. Particularly
if metallic, liquid, or combustible substances get inside the case, this
may lead to fire or electric shock, or to malfunction.
・ Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these
may cause errors.
・ To prevent electric shock, do not allow the unit to become wet and do
not use the unit when your hands are wet.
・ This unit is not constructed to be waterproof or dustproof, so do not
use it in a very dusty environment or in one where it will get wet.
・ Do not place the unit on an unstable stand, or in an uneven location. It
may fall to the ground, or fall over, and either of these events may lead
to malfunction or accident.
・ Avoid treading on or pinching the cable so as not to damage the cable
sheaths.
・ Keep the cables well away from heat, to prevent the possibility of
melting the insulation.
・ For long-term storage, remove the power cord.
・ Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these
may cause errors.
・ The recommended calibration interval for this instrument is six months.
・ This unit uses the two-power method for measuring a three-phase line. For
this reason, if there is a leakage current from the line being measured, or in a
four-wire three-phase system, accurate measurement is not possible.
・ This unit is electrically configured specifically for AC currents. Thus signals
with elements of DC currents (such as all-wave rectifier) cannot be measured.
・ For accurate measurement, allow the unit to warm up for more than half an
hour before starting operation.
・ Note that limits are specified for the range in which voltage and current level
accuracies are guaranteed.
・ The values for apparent power (S), reactive power (Q), power factor (λ)and
phase angle (φ) produced by this unit are computed from the measured
voltage (U), current (I), and active power (P), using the expressions given in
the specifications. The values given may be different from those measured
with an instrument of different operating principles or using different
calculation expressions.
・ This machine's integration value is derived from the measured values of the
electrical current and electrical power and calculated by the software. The
integration value may be different from other instruments that have differing
response times, sample rate or calculation expressions.
・ Accurate measurement may be impossible in locations subject to strong
external magnetic fields, such as transformers and high-current conductors, or
in locations subject to strong external electric fields, such as radio
transmission equipment.
・ Due to the internal circuitry, when measuring objects that contain certain
specific wave lengths, the indicated value of power may periodically shift
and not settle down. (Specifically, this occurs when measuring distorted
waves containing a large amount of high frequency waves which are the even
number multiple of 2.44 kHz.)
・ When the input is less than 0.1% of the measurement range, the indication is
forcibly set to zero.
・ The 3331 has a frequency measurement function, but this may produce
unexpected results on a waveform which is severely distorted.
・ When a maximum rated voltage to earth of high frequency is applied (as for
example when measuring the secondary side of an inverter), errors may occur
in the measured values.
・ To ensure the accuracy of measurement be careful not to let the unit
overheat. (Keep away from sources of heat, and provide sufficient ventilation
space around the unit, or when rack-mounted provide a cooling fan.)
・ This instrument may cause interference if used in residential areas. Such use
must be avoided unless the user takes special measures to reduce
electromagnetic emissions to prevent interference to the reception of radio
and television broadcasts.
The 3331 POWER HiTESTER is a power tester for AC three-phase threewire and single-phase, which is suitable for measuring the three phase

However, a three-phases three-wire system has no center point, and it is not
possible directly to measure the power of each phase; moreover, even given
a center point, three power meters are required simultaneously. For these
reasons, usually the two-power method (two voltages, two currents) is used,
measuring inter-line voltages.
This can be derived by the following expressions.

Since here expressions (1) and (2) are the same, it follo ws that the threephase power can be measured by the two-power method.
This requires no special conditions, other than that the circuit is closed (that
is, there are no leakage currents), and can therefore be used to find the threephase power whether the circuit is balanced or unbalanced.
This unit uses the two-power method of power measurement.
Additionally, since the voltage and current vectors each sum to zero, and

Do not exceed the maximum input voltage and current. Doing so
can damage the unit or cause a serious accident.
The maximum rated voltage between input terminals and ground is
600 Vrms. Attempting to measure voltages exceeding 600 Vrms
with respect to ground could damage the instrument and result in
personal injury.
Always connect the powermeter input to the secondary side of the
breaker. On the secondary side of a breaker, even if the lines are
shorted the breaker can trip and prevent an accident. On the
primary side, however, the current capacity may be large, and in
the event of a short-circuit there may be a serious accident.
To avoid electric shock accidents, do not touch the input terminals
of the unit on live lines, which is exposed.
In order to prevent electric shock and short-circuit accidents, shut
off the power to the line to be measured before connecting the
direct connection voltage and current cables to the terminals.
Be sure to connect the voltage input terminals or current input terminals
correctly. Measurement which is attempted with the wiring connected
incorrectly may cause damage to the unit or a short-circuit.
If an attempt is made to use an improper supply voltage, there is
danger of damage to this unit and of life-threatening risk to the
operator.

Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage of the power
supply being used matches the supply voltage indicated on the rear
panel of the unit.
The unit is constructed so as to be connected to a ground line via a
three-core power cord that is supplied with the unit. In order to

When using an external voltage transformer, do not leave the
secondary side short-circuited. If a voltage is applied to the primary
while the secondary is short-circuited,a high current will flow
through the secondary, which could lead to fire or malfunction.
When using an external current transformer, do not leave the
secondary side open-circuit. If a current flows through the primary
while the secondary is open-circuit, this can generate a high voltage
on the secondary, which is extremely dangerous.
・ To avoid electric shock, the wiring which is used for making the
connections to the current input terminals should have sufficient
current carrying capacity and insulation.
・ This unit is designed for indoor use and can be safely used at
temperatures ranging from 0℃ to 40℃.
・ Do not store or use the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity, or condensation. If exposed to such
conditions, the unit may be damaged, the insulation may deteriorate,
and the unit may no longer satisfy its specifications.
・ This unit is not constructed to be waterproof or dustproof, so do not
use it in a very dusty environment or in one where it will get wet.
・ Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these
may cause errors.
・ To prevent electric shock, do not allow the unit to become wet and do
not use the unit when your hands are wet.
NOTE
・ This unit uses the two-power method for measuring a three-phase line. For
this reason, if there is a leakage current from the line being measured, or in
a four-wire three-phase system, accurate measurement is not possible.
・ This unit is electrically configured specifically for AC currents. Thus signals
with elements of DC currents (such as all-wave rectifier) cannot be
measured.
・ Because the polarity of the voltage and current will affect electrical
measurement, be sure the wiring is connected correctly.
・ If the voltage and current of the device being measured exceeds the
measurement range of this unit, please use an outside-connected PT, or CT.
The measurement value can be directly read if the scaling function is used.
・ When using an outside connected trans (PT, CT), the phase differences of
those may cause differences in the electrical measurement. If a precise
electrical measurement is necessary, use a PT or CT that has only a small
phase difference from the wiring's wave length area that is to be used.
・ Make sure that the wiring of the electric wires are separated from this unit,
so that there is no effect on this unit from an outside magnetic field.
Always connect the power meter to the secondary side of a breaker.
On the secondary side of a breaker, even if the lines are shorted the
breaker can trip and prevent an accident. On the primary side,
however, the current capacity may be large, and in the event of a
short-circuit there may be a serious accident.
Shut off the line power supply before connecting the voltage cable
and current cable.
If the voltage cables should be detached and touch the two wires, a
shorting accident or electric shock may result.
The maximum input voltage and current are 600 VAC, 60 A. Do not
measure an input in excess of these limits, as the resulting heat
buildup may damage the unit or cause a short-circuit accident.
Once the connections are made, do not touch the input terminals of
the voltage and current transformers. There are exposed live parts,
and a danger of electric shock or serious accident.
Check that the terminals are tightened securely. If the connections
should become detached, there is a danger of a short-circuit or
electric shock accident. Additionally, if the connections are not
properly tightened, the contact resistance increases, which may lead
to the generation of heat, or fire.
In order to prevent electric shock and short-circuit accidents, shut
off the power to the line to be measured before connecting the
direct connection voltage and current cables to the terminals.
Be sure to connect the voltage input terminals or current input
terminals correctly. Measurement which is attempted with the wiring
connected incorrectly may cause damage to the unit or a shortcircuit.
Do not short circuit between voltage input terminals, when making a
connection. If not, a shorting accident or electric shock may result.
To prevent accidental electrocution or short-circuits, make
connections to the voltage and current input terminals using only
insulated wire that is terminated with pressure-fitted terminals. (The
voltage and current input terminals have an M6 axial diameter.)
Before switching on power for the line to be measured, check that
the connections and the wiring are not shorting between the voltage
input terminals. If there is a short circuit, a electrical shock and or
short circuit accident will occur.
CAUTION
To avoid electric shock, the wiring which is used for making the
connections to the current input terminals should have sufficient
current carrying capacity and insulation.
・ Depending on the input level, power meter losses may affect measured
values. Refer to Section 2.3.3 for how to make connections that minimize
power meter losses.
・ If the instrument is affected by common mode voltage, connect an
ammeter as shown as B to reduce the error.
・ When measuring a single-phase two-wire system, set the wiring connection
mode to 1φ. (Refer to Section 3.1 "Selecting the Connection Mode".)
However, all settings, such as the range, PT, and CT, of the CH1 and
CH2 are common.
Once the connections are made, do not touch the input terminals of
the voltage and current transformers. There are exposed live parts,
and a danger of electric shock or serious accident.
Check that the terminals are tightened securely. If the connections
should become detached, there is a danger of a short-circuit or
electric shock accident. Additionally, if the connections are not
properly tightened, the contact resistance increases, which may lead
to the generation of heat, or fire.

NOTE
Power supply side
To avoid electric shock, the wiring which is used for making the
connections to the current input terminals should have sufficient
current carrying capacity and insulation.
・ By setting the PT ratio and the CT ratio, it is possible to directly read the
first side of the PT and CT. For details, refer to Section 4.7, "Setting the PT
and CT Ratios."
・ The secondary side of the PT or CT must be grounded for safely. (Since
most previously attached PT and CT's are already grounded, please check
before grounding.)
・ When using an outside connected trans (PT,CT), the phase differences of
those may cause differences in the electrical measurement.If a precise
electrical measurement is necessary, use a PT or CT that has only a small
phase difference from the wiring's wave length area that is to be used.
・ Depending on the input level, power meter losses may affect measured
values. Refer to Section 2.3.3 for how to make connections that minimize
power meter losses.
The power meter can be connected either using the method shown below in

The method of connection should be shown so as to minimize the loss;
which connection is better depends on the relative magnitude of the current
and voltage. For example, measuring 600 V, 20 A supply:
Fig.1 loss = (600 [V])2÷ 2[MΩ] = 0.18 [VA]
Fig.2 loss = (20 [A])2× 2[mΩ] = 0.8 [VA]
In this case, therefore, the connection shown in Fig.1 should be used.
Next consider the case of measuring 600 V, 1 A system:
Fig.1 loss = (600 [V])2÷ 2[MΩ] = 0.18 [VA]
Fig.2 loss = (1 [A])2×2[mΩ] = 0.002 [VA]
In this case, the connection shown in Fig 2 allows more accurate
Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage of the power
supply being used matches the supply voltage indicated on the AC
power inlet of the unit.
If an attempt is made to use an improper supply voltage, there is
danger of damage to this unit and of life-threatening risk to the
operator.
The unit is constructed so as to be connected to a ground line via a
three-core power cord that is supplied with the unit.
The power switch has a microgap construction, and it is therefore
essential to use it close to a power outlet. When the unit is not in
use, and while making connections to the circuit being tested, isolate
the unit electrically from the power supply, for example by removing
the power cord plug from the outlet.
・ When the power is turned off, do not apply voltage or current to the
voltage input terminals and the current input terminals. Doing so may
damage the unit.
・ Should the unit emit smoke, or a strange smell or strange sound,
immediately stop testing operations, power the unit off, and remove the
power cord from the outlet, shut off the circuit being tested,
disconnect the unit, and consult your HIOKI representative. Continued
use of the unit could lead to fire or electric shock accidents.
NOTE
Before measuring, please perform a warm-up at least for 30 minutes after the
power is turned on.
1. Make sure that the voltage of the power supply being used matches the
supply voltage indicated on the rear panel. (power supply voltage 100 V to
240 V)
2. Confirm the power switch on the front panel is OFF.
3. Connect the power cord supplied to AC inlet on the rear panel.
4. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded (3-pin) outlet that has a safety
grounded terminal.
5. Turn the power switch on.
6. All Indicators on the front panel are displayed and the self testing start.
Refer to Section 2.5, "Self Test" for details. This test ends about for 10
seconds.
Depending on the type of line, set the connection mode to 1φ (single-phase)
or 3φ (three-phase three-wire). This affects the method of calculation and
the display items.

・ In three-phase mode, the active power values for each channel are derived
from the inter-line voltages and line currents, and have no independent
significance as results. For this reason, some items are not shown for all
channels.
・ For a single-phase three-wire connection, channel 3 goes out of range when
the channel 1 and channel 2 inputs are 65% f.s. Since an out-of-range input
affects other measurement values, this unit cannot perform measurement on
channel 3 in the single-phase mode.
・ In the single-phase three-wire mode, the U3 and I3 analog outputs and
monitor outputs are always 0 V.
・ The SUM values for voltage and current show average values for channels 1,
2, and 3. For other items, the SUM values are the overall totals for one or
three phases.
To enable stable measurements in the low frequency range, there are two
response settings available.
FAST (response time: about 0.2 seconds)
This allows stable measurement for a constant input of at least 45 Hz, but at
frequencies below 45 Hz the measured value fluctuates. When power
transients or fluctuations occur, they are followed.
SLOW (response time: about 1.6 seconds)
This allow s stable measurement down to 10 Hz, but sudden fluctuations
cannot be followed.
Pressing the SHIFT→RESPONSE keys changes display as follows.
AUTO FAST SLOW
With the AUTO selection, the FAST response is used when the frequency is
45 Hz or above, and the SLOW response otherwise.
When the frequency indication is "o.r" or "-----", the previous response
setting is maintained.

(1) For voltage measurement this unit has two rectifier circuits. Before
measurement, select the following type.
① RMS Measure true RMS value
② MEAN Measure average rectifier effective value converted for voltage,
true RMS value for current
(2) The rectifier type selected displays on rectifier display.
NOTE
(3) Pressing the

key changes the rectifier type.
Select suitable rectifier type repeating these operation.
RMSMEAN
・ For sine wave less than 200 Hz, both "average rectifier effective value
converted (MEAN)" and "real effective value (RMS)" indicate correct
effective value. How ever, only "real effective value" indicates correct value
for the input which include distorted wave.
・ With the MEAN setting, a 500 Hz filter is automatically applied to the
voltage measurement. This filter eliminates the carrier frequency of an
inverter, allowing measurement close to the fundamental frequency. The
power computation circuit, however, uses the input as is, so that there is no
difference between MEAN and RMS. Moreover, for MEAN, the accuracy is
not specified at frequencies of 200 Hz and above.
・ During integrating (with RUN lit or flashed), the rectifier type cannot be
changed ("Err.012"). Before changing the rectifier type, press the RESET
key to reset the integration (RUN goes off).
・ During holding the displays (with HOLD lit or flashed), the rectifier type
cannot be changed ("Err.016"). Before changing the rectifier type, press the
HOLD
key to release the hold state (HOLD goes off).
・ When the rectifier type is changed, read the measurement value after the
condition of internal circuit is stable (for 5 seconds or more).

4.3.4Notes on Integration
(1) When starting integration, auto range setting of voltage and current is
canceled and the range at starting point is fixed. It is necessary to set the
range so that it will not be out of range during integrating.
If the input of current or active power for channels exceeds 130% of range
during integration, the value for the channel is integrated as input of
130%f.s.
The Ah or Wh unit indication flashes to indicate that an out-of-range value
has occurred. This continues flashing until the integration value is reset.

To eliminate the multiplier offset, this unit is designed to allow stable
measurement of input voltages and currents chopped at a frequency of 2.44

However, if the input waveform includes a component with a frequency
which is an integral multiple of 2.44 kHz, the indicated power value may
fluctuate periodically. In this case, use the following procedure to change the

・ Output resistance of output terminals is about 100 Ω.
・ Always use the A.GND terminal (pin 1, 11, 14, 22) for the common of
output terminal.
・ Analog output and D/A output voltage is ±5 VDC f.s. for each range. If
scaling or (PT, CT ratio) are being used, the value reached by multiplying
the range times scaling value becomes ±5 VDC.
・ When using the measuring range as auto ranging, analog output rate changes
as range changing. Be careful of making mistake for range conversion when
recording on the such line measuring value changes hard. In such
measurement we advice you to measure in fixed ranging.
・ The analog output response time is about 0.2 seconds (FAST), about 1.6
seconds (SLOW). Note that if there are fluctuations on the line being
measured which happen faster than the response time of the unit, errors in
the output voltage may occur.
When the response is FAST, analog output below 45 Hz includes ripple, and
cannot be used as a correct wave form.
・ Always use shielded cables for output and for external control.
・ In 1φ mode, the output of U3, I3, U3m, I3m is 0 V.
The external control terminals accept a 0/5 V logic signal or a relay contact
short/open signal to control the unit.

(3) This unit can output manual, time interval and help output using the printer
mode.
8.3.2Messages
Data received or sent by the interface is called a message. The following are
the message types:
Command messages
Query messages
Messages
Program messages
Response messages
Execution confirmation messages (RS-232C only)
Of these, program messages are those received by the unit from the
controller, while response messages are those sent from the unit to the
controller.
(1) Program messages
Program messages can be divided into either command messages or query
messages.
Command messages are orders for control of the unit, such as for making
settings or for reset or the like.
Query messages are orders for responses relating to results of operation,
results of measurement, or the state of device settings.
(2) Response messages
After a query message has been received, a response message is produced
the moment that its syntax has been checked. It is also possible to change
the message unit separator of response messages from the semicolon ";" to
the comma "," when headers are off, using the command
"TRANsmit:SEParator". Initially this separator is set to the semicolon ";".
A space is represented by "_" in this manual.
Execution confirmation message is the numeric data (ASCII) created by
analyzing and executing one line of data (data up to the terminator) from the
controller. This numeric data is returned to the controller. The controller and
this unit are synchronized by means of this data.
(Refer to Section 8.1.2, "RS-232C Interface".)
8.3.3Command Syntax
The names of commands for the 3331 are as far as possible mnemonic.
Furthermore, all commands have a long form, and an abbreviated short form.
In command references in this manual, the short form is written in upper
case letters, and then this is continued in lower case letters so as to
constitute the long form. Either of these forms will be accepted during
operation, but intermediate forms will not be accepted. Further, during
operation both lower case letters and upper case letters will be accepted
without distinction.

① Simple command header
② Compound command header

Response messages generated by the 3331 are in long form and in upper
case letters.
Whether or not headers are prefixed to response messages is set by the
"HEADer" command. It is essential to prefix headers to program messages.
There are three types of command: simple commands, compound commands,
and standard commands.
This header is a sequence of letters and digits.
HEADer
This header is made up from a plurality of simple command type headers
marked off by colons.
VOLTage:RANGe
This header begins with an asterisk, and continues with a standard command
stipulated by IEEE 488.2.
These are for commands used for interrogating the unit about the results of
operations, about measured values, or about the current states of settings for
the unit. As shown by the following examples, they can be recognized as
queries by a question mark appearing after the program header. The structure
of the header is identical to that of a command program header, with "?"
always being affixed to the last command. There are queries possible in
each of the three previously described types of command form.
SCALe?
SCALe:PT?
8.3.5Message Terminators
The 3331 recognizes,
(1) linefeed character (LF; GP-IB and RS-232C),
(2) EOI signal (GP-IB only),
(3) LF with EOI (GP-IB only),
as message terminators.
To terminate a response message, the 3331 always provides the appropriate
EOI signal, and also sends a terminating character sequence. By the use of
the "TRANsmit:TERMinator" command either of the following can be
selected as response message terminator sequence:
The initial setting is in the column above.
A detailed explanation of the "TRANsmit:TERMinator" command is given in
Section 8.4.2, "Commands Specific to the 3331."
8.3.6Separators
(1) Message unit separator
A semicolon ";" is used as a message unit separator when it is desired to set
out several messages on a single line.
(2) Header separator
In a message which has a header and data, a space (represented by "_" in the
examples) is used as the header separator to separate the header from the
data.
GP-IBRS-232C
LF with EOI (linefeed only)LF (linefeed only)
CR + LF with EOI
(carriage return plus linefeed)
"*RST ; :S CALe:CT 4 ; :AV ERaging 64"
":VOLTage:AUTO ON"
(actually, "_" is not displayed.)
(carriage return plus linefeed)
CR + LF
(3) Data separator
If a message has several data items, commas are required as data separators
for separating these data items from one another.
