PCR-WE/PCR-WE2User’s Manual5
Features
The PCR-WE/PCR-WE2 is equipped with the following
functions.
Switchable between single-phase output, singlephase three-wire output, and three-phase output
(PCR-WE2 only)
Three types of output are available on a single unit.
Power regeneration function (PCR-WE2R only)
Load power can be regenerated on the AC line. In a typical inverter system, unconsumed power is regenerated
on the AC line. If you use the PCR-WE2R as a power
system simulator, you do not need a regenerative load.
This helps to suppress the level of exhaust heat and
saves energy.
Various power supply simulations
Power line abnormalities such as voltage dips and short
power interruptions can be simulated. This is a basic
function for power-supply-environment testing.
Various measurements
The rms voltage and current, the peak voltage and current, the active power, apparent power, and power factor
of the output can be measured. Harmonic analysis (0th
to 50th) can be performed on the output voltage and current.
DC output
DC output and AC+DC output are possible in addition to
AC output. This makes it possible to use the PCR-WE in
a wide variety of fields, such as chemistry and physics.
Sequence function
The output voltage, frequency, and waveform can be
changed over time. Power-supply-environment testing
can be automated.
In addition to the AC output sequences, DC output and
AC+DC output sequences are also available. A variety
of standard tests can also be performed.
Sensing function and regulation adjustment function
Even if the load device is at a remote location, the PCRWE/PCR-WE2 can stabilize the voltage across the load
by correcting for voltage drops.
There are two types of sensing: hard sensing and soft
sensing. The different types of sensing are used
depending on the load conditions and how you will use
the PCR-WE.
Output current control
The current limit function can be used to limit the output
current (rms) to a fixed value to perform continuous
operation. Continuity tests on electrical equipment (such
as switchboards, breakers, and wiring devices) can be
performed under stable conditions.
Power management function (power conservation
function)
A sleep function, which turns the power modules off to
reduce power consumption when output is not generated for the specified length of time, and a power-saving
function, which operates the power modules at the bare
minimum settings as required by the supply load, are
available.
Memory function
Up to 3 entries of output frequency, voltage (AC and
DC), and waveform bank settings can be saved to the
internal preset memory.
Up to 10 entries of panel settings can be saved to the
internal setup memory.
The internal memory, panel settings, power line abnormality simulations, sequence data, and waveform bank
data can be saved to a USB memory device.
External communications
The PCR-WE/PCR-WE2 can be controlled remotely
through its USB, LAN, and RS232C interfaces. If an
optional interface board is used, the PCR-WE Series
can be controlled remotely through a GPIB interface.
External analog signal control
The output can be controlled using external analog signals.

In the factory default condition, when you turn the POWER switch on, the product starts in the same state
as it was in the last time it was turned off (the output set to off). You can set the condition that the product
will be in when the POWER switch is turned on.
Press CONFIG (SHIFT+OPR MODE) > PON STAT (F3) to set the condition that the panel settings will be
in when the POWER switch is turned on.
ParameterTitleDescription
RST (F1)PowerOn StateStarts by resetting the product and with the
output set to off.
RCL(F2)Starts according to the settings egistered in
setup memory 0.
AUTO(F3)Starts in the same state as the product was in
the last time it was turned off.
The output condition is according to PowerOn
Output State.
You can set the output condition for when the power is turned on. This is invalid when the power-on state
is set to RST or RCL.
Press OTHERS (SHIFT+MEMORY) > 1/2(F6) > PON OUTP (F4) to set the output condition for when the
POWER switch is turned on.
ParameterTitleDescription
SAFE(F2)PowerOn Output StateStarts with the output turned off.
FORCE(F3)Starts with the output turned on.
Turning the POWER switch off
Flip the POWER switch to the ○ side to turn the product off.
In the factory default condition, when the POWER switch is turned on, all settings except for the output
condition (OUTPUT on/off) take on the values that were in use the last time that the POWER switch was
turned off.
If the POWER switch is turned off immediately after the settings have been changed, the last settings may
not be stored.
Risk of malfunction. After turning the POWER switch off, wait at least 5 seconds before
turning it back on.
Turning off the POWER switch in an emergency
In an emergency, turn off the switchboard breaker to separate the product from the AC power line.
Provide adequate space around the circuit breaker so that the POWER switch can be turned off at any
time.

WARNING
CAUTION
The maximum current that this product can generate varies depending on the model. It also varies
depending on the output voltage and frequency. Ensure that the output power capacity is sufficient for the
load capacity. The maximum output currents (for rms output voltage of 1 V to 100 V or 2 V to 200 V and
frequency greater than 40 Hz or DC) for the different models are shown in the following table.

Installation
Risk of electric shock
• Do not use the terminal block with the terminal cover removed.
• Use load cables with a voltage rating that meets or exceeds the product’s isolation
voltage (±438 V).
• Risk of electric shock. Before you connect cables to the OUTPUT terminal block, be
sure to turn the POWER switch off, and then turn off the switchboard.
Risk of fire
• Use load cables whose capacity is adequate for the maximum output current and
with sturdy, flame-resistant insulation.
• A sudden load variation exceeding the rating may cause a large overshoot.
• Risk of heat buildup or spark emission. Fasten the wires securely at the recommended
torque.
The L and N terminals of the OUTPUT terminal block are isolated from the input power
supply. The polarity does not constitute a problem in terms of safety. The polarity matters in
synchro mode (in which the product is synchronized with the input power supply) and DC
mode, so check the polarity of the load before you connect it to the product. You can use
either L or N to ground the product.
Tightening torque of input terminal connecting screws
The recommended and upper limit values are for when attaching the cable and short bar. Use within the
upper limit.

Installation | Connecting the Load
Connecting to the OUTPUT terminal block
We recommend that you run the load wires alongside each other and tie them together at several points
with cable ties. Connect between the output terminal and load with the shortest wires possible.
Preparing wires
Use noncombustible wires that have diameters that correspond to the output current to connect to the
load.
Requirements of single-core wires that are used to connect to the load
A cable’s temperature is determined by the resistive loss based on the current, the ambient temperature,
and the cable’s external thermal resistance. The following table shows the current capacity of heatresistant vinyl cables that have a maximum allowable temperature of 60 °C when one of the cables is
separated and stretched out horizontally in air in an ambient temperature of 30 °C. The current must be
reduced under certain conditions, such as when vinyl cables that have a low heat resistance are used,
when the ambient temperature is 30 °C or greater, or when cables are bundled together and little heat is
radiated.
