PCR-LE Series
Three-phase Output Driver

3P05-PCR-LE

Thank you for purchasing the PCR-LE Series Three-phase out­put driver.

Connecting the outputs of PCR-LE Series in star connection
and installing the Three-phase Output Driver in these power
supplies allows them to be used as three-phase system power
supplies.

Features

Use of this device allows the PCR-LE series to provide the fol­lowing enhanced functions, in addition to the PCR-LE’s stan­dard functions.

• Three-phase Output
Use of the device allows the three PCR-LE to generate three-

phase output, in which the U-phase unit of the three power
supplies acts as a master and their V and W phase units acts
as slaves.

• Setting of Either the Line Voltage or Phase Voltage

• Independent Phase Voltage Setting
The individual phase voltage setting is possible on a phase

basis.

• Line Voltage Measurement

• Measurements of the Total Power, Total Apparent Power, and
Total Power Factor of Three Phases

Use of the device allows the totals of power and apparent
power obtained through measurement using the three PCR­LE to be displayed. The total power factor of the three phas­es can also be calculated from these total values.

• Variable Phase Difference

Firmware version of PCR-LE

When using the 3P05-PCR-LE, the PCR-LE must be required
with the firmware version of 2.00 or later. If the firmware ver­sion of the PCR-LE is 1.99 or previous version, the PCR-LE is
required for the firmware update.

When using the 3P05-PCR-LE, the firmware of all the PCR-LE
series that make up the system must be the same.

To check the firmware version of the PCR-LE, refer to the opera­tion manual of the PCR-LE series. In case, the PCR-LE needs
update, contact your Kikusui agent or distributor.

Functional Restrictions during

Three-phase Operation

Use of the 3P05-PCR-LE allows the PCR-LE series to generate
three-phase outputs. The following functions are not available
when the device is installed in the power supplies.

Connecting the bords

Handling of the U, V, and W phase Boards



• Ground yourself by touching a grounded metal object before
touching the board.

• Avoid handling the interface board in an environment subject to
strong static electricity.

• For storage, provide electrostatic protection measures such as
the anti-static bag accompanying the interface board.

• Do not drop a board or subject it to other impact.

• Do not install or uninstall the interface board with the power ON
of the PCR-LE Series.

Handling of the connecting and power-sync cable



• Do not damage the cable.

• Do not pull, bend, or apply any other stress to the cable.

Precautions When Moving the PCR-LE

Disconnect the cable(s) when moving the PCR-LE series to the
installation location or when transporting the PCR-LE. Moving a
PCR-LE series with a cable connected to the phase board may
result in breakage of the cable or connector.

Use the connecting cable to connect the boards.

Check that the POWER switch of PCR-LE is off.

1

Place the three PCR-LE as close to each other as

2

possible.

Arrange them so that no stress is applied to the connect­ing cable. A PCR-LE power supply with the U phase board
installed plays the role of the master unit that controls other
power supplies.

For the connection as shown below, you need the optional
connecting cable (150 cm/ 280 cm). To perform parallel three­phase operation, place the U phase to the center.

Installing the board on the PCR-LE

The 3P05-PCR-LE can be installed by inserting the U, V, and W
phase boards into SLOT1 of the three PCR-LE series, respectively.

Check that the POWER switch of PCR-LE is off.

1

Touch a grounded metal object (for example, the

2

metal parts of the PCR-LE rear panel) to discharge
any static electricity from your body.

Remove the screws that are holding the SLOT 1

3

cover in place on the rear panel, and remove the
cover from the panel.

Hold the panel parts of the board so that the printed

4

circuit board side is facing up.

Insert the board into the slot so that the printed cir-

5

cuit board's connector is inserted into the connec­tor at the back of the slot.

Insert the board all the way into the slot.

6

Use the screws that you removed in step 3 to x the

7

board in place in the panel.

Follow the same procedure to install the other two

8

boards.

This completes installation of the phase board.

When a 3P05-PCR-LE has been inserted into the slot1 of a PCR­LE series, that power supply can be used only in a three-phase
system. To use the power supply in a single-phase system, the
phase board must be removed from the slot1.

Connect the “TO V PHASE“ of U-phase unit and the

3

“FROM U PHASE“ of V-phase unit firmly with the
connecting cable using a screwdriver.

Do not remove the attached core from the cable. If you do,
reattach it (be sure to wrap the cable around the core once (2
turns)).

Follow the same procedure to connect the “TO W

4

PHASE“ of U-phase unit and the “FROM U PHASE“
of W-phase unit with the connecting cable.

Do not remove the attached core from the cable.
This completes connection of the bords.

Operation Check

Check the operation of the PCR-LE series before you perform
three-phase operation.

Check the following items with no load connected. For detail of
settings, see the PCR-LE series operation manual.

POWER switch ON

Voltage setting

OUTPUT ON/OFF

Voltage-range switching

If a trouble is occurring on even one unit, you will not be able to
perform three-phase operation.
