AC Power Supply PCR-LE2

seriess

Thank you for purchasing the PCR-LE2 Series AC Power Supply.

The PCR-LE2 Series is a special version of the PCR-LE Series that

can produce highly pure AC signals through the combination of

its high-speed linear ampliﬁer and arbitrary waveform synthesizer.

It features switchable single-phase, single-phase three-wire, and

three-phase outputs.

Checking the Package Contents

When you receive the product, check that all accessories are in-

cluded and that the accessories have not been damaged during

transportation. If any of the accessories are damaged or missing,

contact your Kikusui agent or distributor. We recommend that you

save all packing materials, in case the product needs to be trans-

ported at a later date.

Features

The PCR-LE2 Series is equipped with the following features.

• Switchable between single-phase output, single-phase three-

wire 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-environ-

ment 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 out-

put 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 out-

put (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 Se-

ries 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 sup-

ply 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 ab-

normality 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.

How to view ePub les on a tablet

To view an ePub le on a tablet, an ePub reader (e.g., iBooks, Hi-

mawari Reader) must be installed in the tablet. You can download

ePub readers for free.

There are several ways to copy ePub les to your tablet, but we

recommend that you download them from the Kikusui Electronics

Corporation website.

1. Using a browser on your iPad, visit Kikusui Elec-

tronics Corporation website’s Operation Manual

Database (http://www.kikusui.co.jp/en/down-

load/), and search for your PCR-LE2 series.

2. Tap the appropriate ePub le to download it.

When an ePub le is downloaded to your tablet, you can view it

even when the tablet is not connected to the Web.
