hot during operation.
• Do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet
hands. This may cause an electric shock.
• Touching any of the high-voltage points inside the instrument is very dangerous.
Do not attempt to modify, disassemble or repair the instrument ; as fire, electric
shock and injury could result.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when transporting and
handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock from dropping.
• After use, always turn OFF the power.
• Do not allow any conductive foreign objects to enter through the vents. Doing so may
cause damage to the instrument.
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.
Handling the Cables
• The maximum input voltage is 1000 V DC/AC and the maximum input current to the
current direct input terminals is 70 A DC/AC.
Attempting to measure a voltage or current in excess of each of the maximum inputs
could destroy the instrument and result in personal injury or death.
• The maximum rated voltage between input terminals and the ground is as follows;
(CAT II) 1000 V DC, 1000 V AC
(CAT III) 600 V DC, 600 V AC
Attempting to measure voltages exceeding this level with respect to ground could
damage the instrument and result in personalnjury.
• The external current sensor input terminals are not insulated. The terminals are
exclusive to the optional current sensors. Attempting to input a voltage or current
other than the output from the optional clamp sensors into the external current sensor terminals could destroy the instrument and result in personal injury or death.
• When using the optional current sensors, do not measure a current in excess of the
current rating. This could destroy the instrument, the current sensor, or both. Also
this coud result in personal injury or death.
• This instrument should only be connected to the secondary side of a breaker, so the
breaker can prevent an accident if a short circuit occurs. Connections should never
be made to the primary side of a breaker, because unrestricted current flow could
cause a serious accident if a short circuit occurs.
• To avoid electrical accidents, confirm that all terminals are secure. The increased
resistance of loose connections can lead to overheating and fire.

1.1 Product Overview
OverviewChapter 1
1.1Product Overview
The PW3336/ PW3337 is a power meter with power measurement capabilities for the full range of electrical
equipment, from single-phase devices such as battery-driven devices and household electronics to industrialuse and three-phase electrical equipment.
The instrument provides coverage from DC to inverter frequencies with support for voltages up to 1000 V and
direct-input currents of up to 65 A. It can also measure currents of up to 5000 A using an optional current sensor.
1.2Features
•: These instruments provide two channels each of voltage
input and current input.
•: These instruments provide three channels each of voltage
input and current input.
• Since all channels are isolated, the instrument can simultaneously measure multiple circuits.
• It supports measurement lines from single-phase to 3-phase/4-wire.
• With 3-phase/3-wire measurement lines, the instrument can measure either voltage between lines (3V3A)
or phase voltage (3P3W3M) using vector calculations simply by switching its line setting (input terminal
connections remain the same).
• Accuracy is guaranteed for currents of up to 65 A with direct input.
• (The maximum input current is 70 A, ±100 Apeak.)
• An optional current sensor can be used to measure currents in excess of 65 A. (p.102)
• The instrument delivers a high fundamental accuracy of ±0.15% rdg. (at less than 50% of range, ±0.1% rdg.
±0.05% f.s.).
• Over a wide band from DC and 0.1 Hz to 100 kHz, the instrument covers not only the fundamental frequency band for inverter-driven equipment, but also the carrier frequency band.
• Power factor effects are low at ±0.1% f.s. (with a internal circuit voltage/current phase difference of
±0.0573°), allowing high-accuracy measurement of active power during low power-factor operation, for
example during no-load testing of transformers and motors.
• The instrument can perform harmonic measurement in compliance with the IEC 61000-4-7:2002 international standard on harmonic measurement methods.
• You can set an upper limit for the analyzed order from the 1st to 50th order according to the harmonic measurement standard in use.

more channels (p.81)
1.2 Features
• Since processing for functions such as AC+DC (RMS), AC+DC Umn (voltage average value rectified RMS
equivalent), DC (DC component), AC (AC component), FND (fundamental wave component), and harmonic measurement as well as integration measurement can be performed internally and in parallel, it is
possible to obtain simultaneous measured values simply by switching the display.
• Since the measurement range and other parameters can be set independently for each channel, it is possible to measure input-output efficiency for inverters and other power supply devices. (p.78)
• The active power level can be output for each cycle for the voltage or current assigned to the synchronization source.
• Variations over extended periods of time can be recorded by using the instrument in conjunction with equipment such as a recorder or data logger using level output (updated every 200 ms) for each channel’s voltage, current, and active power as well as associated sum values and three user-selected parameters.
• Safe, insulated waveforms can be observed using waveform output (equivalent to a sampling rate of
approximately 87.5 kHz) for each channel’s instantaneous voltage, instantaneous current, and instantaneous power.
• You can control the instrument or capture data from it using a computer by using the standard RS-232C or
LAN interface. (You can also communicate with a computer over USB by using a commercially available
USB serial conversion cable.)
• The instrument also provides a GP-IB interface, an essential capability when building such systems.
( )
• Simultaneous measurement can be performed by connecting two instruments with an optional BNC cable.
• Calculations, display updates, data updates, integration control, display hold timing, zero-adjustment, and
key lock operation of the instrument set as the slave (IN setting) are matched to the master instrument
(OUT setting).
