• 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. (Tightening torque of the input terminals: 3 N·m)
7
Operating Precautions
Observe the following to avoid electric shock and short circuits.
• Turn off the power to lines to be measured before making connections to terminals to be measured and turning on the instrument.
• Be sure to connect the voltage input and current input terminals correctly. An incor­rect connection could damage or short circuit this instrument.
• When connecting wires to the voltage input terminals, be careful to avoid shorting between one terminal and another with the wires.
• Since the screws of the terminals could be loosened, do not move the cables con­nected to the terminals more than neccessary.
• Do not tie the cables connected to the input terminals in a bundle with the power supply cord, the communication cables, the external I/O cables, or the current sen­sor cables. This may cause damage.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable insulation.
• To avoid breaking the cables, do not bend or pull them.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging it from the power outlet.
• Keep the cables well away from heat sources, as bare conductors could be exposed if the insulation melts.

Operating Precautions
Input and Measurement
• 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 personal injury.
• 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 terminals could destroy the instrument and result in personal injury or death.
• To avoid the danger of electric shock, do not input a signal in excess of the ratings to the external I/O terminals.
• 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.
When connecting Observe the following to avoid electric shock and short circuits.
• Turn off the power to lines to be measured before making connections to input ter­minals and turning on the instrument.
• When making connections, do not mix up the voltage input terminals (U) and the current input terminals (I). In particular, do not input a voltage into the current input terminals (between I and ±). Using the instrument with a faulty wiring will damage the instrument or cause injury.
• Be careful to avoid shorting between the voltage input terminals with the wires.
When abnormalities such as smoke, unusual noise, or unusual odor are observed Stop the measurement immediately, and observe the following procedure. Using the instrument in such a abnormal condition could cause death or injury.
1. Turn off the power switch of the instrument.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

1.1 Product Overview

Overview Chapter 1

1.1 Product 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.

1.2 Features

: 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.

Extensive measurement functionality, standard
High-speed D/A output to capture harsh load variations (p.88) Building a system with 3 interfaces (p.117)
Synchronized control function with support for measurement of even 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.
