Chapter 5 Regenerative Bus Supply Configurations With Active Shunt
Active Shunt Considerations
External active shunts are required in the following use cases:
• The 2198-RPxxx regenerative bus supply provides DC-bus power while
DC-bus regulation is not enabled.
• One permanent magnet motor runs above its bus overvoltage speed. See Kinetix 5700 Servo Drives User Manual, publication
2198-UM002
, information on the Field Weakening Mode feature.
• One permanent magnet motor drives a vertical load that could make the motor accelerate above the bus overvoltage speed during a
fault condition.
• Any condition where total shared DC-bus regenerative power is greater than the 2198-RPxxx regenerative bus supply capacity. For
example, consider a peak-power stopping condition.
• The 2198-RPxxx regenerative bus supply is operating with DC-bus regulation enabled and the regenerative bus supply loses three-
phase AC input power, 24V DC input power, or has a fault condition.
Active shunts are available from the Rockwell Automation Encompass partner Powerohm Resistors, Inc. See http://www.powerohm.com
for
more information on Powerohm active shunts.
ATTENTION: To avoid damage to the Kinetix 5700 drive system, wire the active shunt thermal switch to a digital input on the power
supply and configure the Shunt Thermal Switch OK function in the Logix Designer application.
ATTENTION: DC-bus failure can cause damage to all drive modules in the bus group, not just the inverter connected to the motor.
IMPORTANT Powerohm Bulletin PKBxxx active shunt modules use built-in internal brake resistors. Bulletin PWBxxx active shunt modules
require appropriately sized external brake resistors.

ATTENTION: Do not use Powerohm active-shunt modules at input line voltages that exceed 528V AC. Active-shunt thermal-overload
shutdown can occur if input line voltage exceeds 528V AC.
