Features
The PCR-LE2 Series is equipped with the following features.
• Switchable between single-phase output, single-phase threewire output, and three-phase output
Three types of output are available on a single unit.
• Various power supply simulations
Power line abnormalities such as outages and voltage dips can
be simulated. This is a basic feature 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 (up to the 40th harmonic)
can be performed on the output current.
• DC output
The PCR-LE2 Series can generate DC output (single-phase output or single-phase three-wire output only) and AC + DC output
(single-phase output only). This makes it possible to use the
PCR-LE2 Series in a wide variety of fields, including chemistry
and physics.
• Sequences
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 (single-phase
output or single-phase three-wire output only) and AC + DC output (single-phase output only) sequences are also available. A
variety of standard tests can also be performed.
• Sensing and regulation adjustment
Even if the load device is at a remote location, the PCR-LE2 Series can stabilize the voltage across the load by correcting for
voltage drops.
There are two types of sensing: hard sensing (single-phase
output only) and soft sensing. The different types of sensing are
used depending on the load conditions and how you will use the
PCR-LE2 Series.
• Output current control
The output 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 saving function)
A sleep function, which turns the power units 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 units at the bare minimum settings as required by the supply load, are available.
• Memory function
Up to 99 entries of output frequency, voltage (AC or DC), and
waveform bank settings can be saved to the internal memory.
The contents of 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-LE2 Series can be controlled remotely through its
RS232C interface. If an optional interface board is used, the
PCR-LE2 Series can be controlled remotely through USB, GPIB,
and LAN interfaces.
• External analog signal control (optional)
The EX05-PCR-LE/EX06-PCR-LE option enables you to control
the PCR-LE2 Series output using external analog signals.

User's Manual -Advanced-
• Using the synchronization Function
The synchronization function synchronizes the frequency and
phase of the PCR-LE2 output voltage with a 50 Hz or 60 Hz input
power supply.
• Using the Voltage Compensation Function
The compensation function compensates for voltage drops in the
load cables when the load is connected to the PCR-LE2 over a
long distance.
• Using Power Line Abnormality Simulations
In AC mode, you can simulate power supply line errors by stop-
ping the PCR-LE2 output and decreasing and increasing the
voltage (to simulate voltage dips and pops).
• Using the Sequence Function
A sequence is a series of settings - values such as the output
voltage, frequency, and time - that are saved in advance and
are then recalled and automatically carried out in order at a later
time.
• Using the Harmonic Current Analysis Function
You can perform harmonic analysis of the output current.
• Generating Special Waveforms (Waveform bank)
You can generate peak-clipped sine waveforms.
• Setting the Output Impedance
The PCR-LE2 output impedance (output resistance) is approxi-
mately 0 Ω. Commercial power supplies have an impedance
(resistance) of several milliohms to several ohms. You can set
the PCR-LE2 output impedance. This enables you to simulate
the same environment as that which is provided by commercial
power supplies.
• Setting Soft Starts (The voltage rise time)
To prevent the output from being turned off (the alarm from be-
ing activated) and the voltage from dropping due to the load
device’s inrush current that exceeds the rated capacity of the
PCR-LE2, you can control the inrush current by having the output
voltage rise gradually when the output is turned on.
• Fixing the Internal Vcc
To minimize loss in the linear amplifier section, the PCR-LE2 au-
tomatically adjusts the linear amplifier supply voltage (Vcc) to a
level that is suitable for the output voltage. You can fix the Vcc
voltage of the PCR-LE2. This is useful when you want to prioritize
the output voltage response over the product’s efficiency.
• Selecting the Response
The PCR-LE2 uses a high-speed amplifier. Depending on the
load circuits (especially in the case of capacitive loads) and the
wiring conditions, the output may become unstable may oscillate. You can set the response speed of the internal amplifier
according to the load conditions and how you will use the PCRLE2.
• Using the Power Management Functions
The PCR-LE2 has the following two power management func-
tions: a sleep function and a power-saving function
• External analog signal control (optional)
You can use the optional analog signal interface board to control
the product with external analog signals.

When the POWER switch is on, even if the output is off, a dan-
gerous voltage exists between the output terminal (L/N or U/V/W/
N) and the chassis (G-ground). To eliminate the voltage between
the output terminal and the chassis, connect N and G of the OUT-
PUT terminal block.
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.

The values vary depending on conditions such as the wire covering
(insulator), the wire material (allowable temperature), and whether
there are multiple cores in the cable. For cables other than those
specified in this table, consult with a qualified engineer.
WARNING
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.
- Note -
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.
In DC mode and AC+DC mode, N is the reference. When N has
a positive polarity, L is positive electric potential. When N has a
negative polarity, L is negative electric potential.

Remote control can be used to turn the output off, but it cannot be
used to turn the POWER switch off. If you want to connect the PCRLE2 Series to a load that is located at a remote location, install a
switch between the OUTPUT terminal block and the load to prevent
electric shock. Then, turn that switch off.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock.
• Before you install the switch between the OUTPUT terminal block and the load, be sure to turn the POWER
switch off and turn off the breaker of the switchboard.
• The current rating of the switch must be greater than
or equal to the maximum current of the PCR-LE2 Series.
• For the switch circuit, use a multi-pole switch that can
cut off all lines simultaneously (two poles for singlephase output, three poles for single-phase threephase output, and four poles for three-phase output).
• Be sure to turn the switch off before connecting the
load to the terminal at the load end of the switch.
• Do not touch the switch terminals when the POWER
switch is on. Before you connect cables to the OUTPUT terminal block, be sure to turn the POWER switch
off, and then turn off the switchboard.

Connecting to the front-panel outlets
(PCR6000LE2/ PCR9000LE2 only)
The PCR-LE2 Series can generate power from the OUTPUT terminal block on the rear panel and the outlets on the front panel.
The outlets on the front panel are valid for single-phase output.
Electric current does not flow through the outlets during singlephase three-wire output or three-phase output.
The specifications of the front-panel outlets are not regulated. Their
performance may decrease.
CAUTION
The maximum rated voltage of the front-panel outlets is 250
Vac.
Max. output voltage: 250 Vac(rms)
Maximum output current: 10 Aac (rms) per outlet
Do not disconnect the load when the maximum rated voltage
of the outlets has been exceeded or in DC mode. Doing so
may cause the product to malfunction.
On the PCR-LE2 Series, if an overcurrent is detected, the breaker
trips, and the output is cut off.
The outlets are designed for power plugs like those shown below.
