Chapter 1 DC-bus Wiring Guidelines
Wire the External DC-bus Connections
The 2198-CAPMOD-2240 capacitor module and 2198-CAPMOD-DCBUS-IO extension module are used to extend the DC-bus voltage to external
inverter drives. They also provide energy storage. The capacitor module is used alone when the external DC-bus current is ≤104 A. The
capacitor module, combined with a DC-bus module or an extension module, is required when the external DC-bus current is >104 A, up to a
maximum 208 A. Figure 3
is an example of a system requiring >104 A of external DC-bus current. For more information on the use of
accessory modules, see Kinetix 5700 Accessory Modules
on page 71.

DC Bus Bar
When using DC bus-bar to connect drives to the system bus, observe the following guidelines:
• DC-bus fuses are required between the Kinetix 5700 power supply cluster and the common DC bus-bar. DC-bus fuses are also
required between the DC bus-bar and the DC input of any external inverter drives. See Kinetix and PowerFlex Drive Specifications
on
page 59 for the recommended common DC-bus circuit protection devices.
• No single external DC-bus connection from the power supply cluster can exceed 70 m (230 ft). You can extend the DC-bus from the
right and left of the power supply cluster, but the total DC-bus length (including DC-bus cabling and DC bus-bar) from the power supply
cluster to all extended clusters cannot exceed 140 m (459 ft).
