*1. When the output voltage is between 1 V and 100 V or 2 V and 200 V and the load power factor is between 0.8 and 1. When the output voltage is

between 100 V and 150 V or 200 V and 300 V, the output current is reduced by the output voltage. When the load power factor is between 0 and 0.8, the
output current is reduced by the load power factor. When the output frequency is between 1 Hz and 40 Hz, the output current is reduced by the output
frequency. *2. For capacitor-input rectifier loads, (at near the peak of the voltage waveform, excluding three-phase three-wire output). The peak current
that can be output decreases in accordance with the reduction in the absolute value of the instantaneous output voltage. *3. When the output voltage is
100 V or 200 V and the output frequency is between 40 Hz and 999.9 Hz (reverse current is -180 deg out of phase with the output voltage). *4. 1 Hz to 500
Hz when a 3P05-PCR-LE (500HZ LMT) is installed in the PCR-LE and on the PCR-LE2 500HZ LMT model (during three-phase output). *5. When the output
voltage is between 100 V and 212 V or 200 V and 424 V, the output current is reduced by the output voltage. *6. When the output voltage is between 80
V and 150 V or 160 V and 300 V and the load power factor is 1. *7. When the output voltage is 100 V or 200 V, the load power factor is 1, and the output
current changes from 0 A to the rated value and from the rated value to 0 A. *8. Three-phase three-wire or Three-phase four-wire input: M5 *9. Single-phase

Alarms/Trouble

When a protection function is activated, an alarm (ALM-xx) or a
trouble indication (TRBL-xx) is generated, and the output is turned
off.

Alarm: Press ALM CLR(SHIFT+CLR) to clear the alarm, and then fix
the problem that caused the alarm.

Trouble: To clear the trouble indication, turn the POWER switch off,
wait at least 5 seconds, and turn it back on. If the same trouble
persists, contact your Kikusui agent or distributor to request repairs.

List of function keys

Single-phase output

Set the Output Mode.

1.

Press OPR MODE and then ACDC (F2) to
select the output mode.

Set the output voltage mode.

2.

Press RANGE(SHIFT+8) to select the
output voltage range.
You cannot set the mode if the output is
turned on.

Set the output voltage.

Press OPR MODE and then WIRING (F5). If you select single-phase, three-wire output, the output
is generated from the OUTPUT 1P2W terminal block. If you select three-phase output, the output
is generated from the OUTPUT 3P4W (1P3W) terminal block.

Set the Output Mode.

the voltage. Use phase voltages to set the DC
voltage of AC+DC mode.
