your foot. For the PCR18000WE2, PCR24000WE2,
PCR30000WE2, and PCR36000WE2, use stoppers to fix
the product in the installation location.
Looking down at the stopper from above, turning the stop-
per to the left (counterclockwise) raises the stopper, and
turning the stopper to the right (clockwise) lowers the stop-
per.

6User’s Manual PCR-WE/PCR-WE2
Features
The PCR-WE/PCR-WE2 is equipped with the following
functions.
Switchable between single-phase output, single-
phase 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 typ-
ical 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 cur-
rent, 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 cur-
rent.
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 func-
tion
Even if the load device is at a remote location, the PCR-
WE/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 gener-
ated 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 abnor-
mality 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 sig-
nals.

Installation
Connecting the Power Cord
This product is designed as an equipment of IEC Overvoltage Category II (energy-consuming equipment
supplied from a fixed installation).
A power cord is not included with this product.
Input power cords are available as options. When you are wiring the switchboard, attach crimping
terminals that match the screws of the switchboard.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock.
• This product is IEC Safety Class I equipment (equipment with a protective
conductor terminal). To prevent electric shock, be sure to connect the protective
conductor terminal of the product to electrical ground (safety ground).
• Connect the protective conductor terminal to earth ground.
• Before you connect the power cord, turn off the switchboard breaker (a switch that
cuts off the power supply from the switchboard).
• Do not use the terminal block with the terminal cover removed.
• Be sure to have a qualified engineer connect the power cable to the switchboard.
• The switchboard breaker must meet the requirements shown below.
• If this distance needs to be more than 3 m, connect the cable by inserting a
separate circuit breaker within 3 m of the product. For the circuit breaker, use a type
that can cut off the L and N wires or R, S, T, and N wires simultaneously.
• Use cables with a rated voltage of 600 V or higher.
Risk of fire
• Use a power cord whose capacity is adequate for the input current and with sturdy,
flame-resistant insulation.
CAUTION
• If the voltage distortion of the AC power line is large, the product may malfunction. The
product cannot be connected to a generator or a similar device.
• Inside the product, protective circuits such as input fuses are connected to match the
polarity of the input terminal. Be sure to connect the wires correctly between the
switchboard and the input terminals of the product.
Single-phase 200 V input: L, N, and (GND)
Three-phase 200 V input: R, S, T, and (GND)
Three-phase 400 V input: R, S, T, N, and (GND)
• Risk of heat buildup or spark emission. Fasten the wires securely at the recommended
torque.
In an emergency, turn off the switchboard breaker to separate the product from the AC
power line.

PCR-WE/PCR-WE2 User’s Manual 17
Installation | Connecting the Power Cord
If you will not use one of the optional input power cords, prepare a power cord that meets the following
specifications.
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.
Cable Nominal cross-
sectional area*1
*1. For 60 mm2 or more, using a cable complying with UL1284 rating 600 V 105 °C is assumed. For others,
using a cable complying with UL1015 rating 600 V 105 °C is assumed.
Consider the loss due to the current reduction factor (depending on the ambient temperature and cable
laying), make sure that the maximum input current of the cable is not exceeded.
