Page 136: Switching Steps At Specific Phase Angles
Sequence Function | Sequence Creation Tutorial Switching steps at specific phase angles This section explains how to switch steps at specific phase angles to produce a continuous waveform. Steps are managed in terms of time. If the starting phase angle and ending phase angle are set to FREE (default setting), the next step will start when the step time elapses.
Page 137 Sequence Function | Sequence Creation Tutorial The phase angle of step 001 when its step time elapses is 90°. Because the starting phase angle of step 002 is 0°, the PCR-WE waits until the phase angle of step 001 becomes 0° before executing step 002. This duration is the phase wait time.
Page 138 Sequence Function | Sequence Creation Tutorial In this example, the starting phase angle of step 001 is FREE, so there is no phase wait time. Theoretically, there should not be any phase wait time if the starting phase angle is set to 0°, but depending on the conditions, the waveform may be offset by on period.
Page 139: Suddenly Changing The Phase
Sequence Function | Sequence Creation Tutorial Suddenly changing the phase To suddenly change the phase, specify a sudden phase change after setting the starting and ending phase angles. This section explains an example of how to suddenly change the phase from 90° to 270° when the step changes from 002 to 003.
Page 140 Sequence Function | Sequence Creation Tutorial To use sudden phase change, be sure to set the ending phase angle of the previous step and the starting phase angle of the step in which you want the phase to suddenly change. If you specify sudden phase change with either phase angle set to FREE, the phase will not change with the correct angles.

Appendix Terminology  Rated output capacity The maximum output power capacity (in VA) that can be supplied continuously. For example, this is 6 kVA on the PCR6000WE2.  Rated output current The maximum rms current (in A) that can be output continuously. The rated output current varies depending on the output conditions (the number of power modules in use, output voltage range, output voltage, output frequency).
Page 221 Appendix | Terminology  Output voltage waveform distortion ratio The total harmonic distortion (in %) of the output voltage waveform when the output voltage is between 80 V and 155 V (for output L range) or between 160 V and 310 V (for output H range) and the load power factor is 1.
Page 222 Appendix | Terminology  Voltage dip This refers to situations in which the voltage in a commercial power line drops momentarily due to the effects of lightning and other similar phenomena. Generally, these voltage drops last for several tens of milliseconds to several hundreds of milliseconds, and the voltage drops by 20 % to 80 %.
Page 223: Power Regeneration Function (Pcr-We2R Only)
Appendix Power Regeneration Function (PCR-WE2R only) The PCR-WE2R has a power function that regenerates power, which could not be consumed with the normal inverter system, to the AC LINE. If you use the PCR-WE2R as a power system simulator, you do not need a regenerative resistive load.
