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
Field Weakening Mode
on page 439 for a description of this 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 Encompassâ„¢
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.

illustrated with interconnect diagrams in Active Shunt Wiring Examples on page 338.
