About the External Shunt
Modules
These externally-mounted passive shunt modules provide a means for
servo drives to dissipate excess regenerative energy from the DC bus.
This is needed when system loads require power dissipation beyond
the capability of the shunt resistor internal to the servo drive. These
are passive shunt resistors and require transistor activation by the
servo drive.
A properly-sized shunt module regulates excessive bus voltage by
passing current through a resistor, which dissipates the current as heat
and minimizes drive faults caused by excess bus voltage.

Before You Begin
Before you begin mounting your shunt module, make sure you:
•have the required tools and materials.
•understand the mounting requirements.
•understand high-frequency bonding.
•know how to establish noise zones.
Required Tools and Materials
These tools and materials are required to complete the installation of
an external shunt module:
•Screwdrivers
•User-supplied power wiring
•Mounting fasteners

ATTENTION
Mounting Requirements
Plan the installation of your system so that you can perform all cutting,
drilling, tapping, and welding with the system removed from the
enclosure. Because the system is of the open type construction, be
careful to keep any metal debris from falling into it. Metal debris or
other foreign matter can become lodged in the circuitry, which can
result in damage to components.
These requirements apply when preparing to mount your shunt
module:
•Mo
unt the shunt in an enclosure providing protection against
dust and splashing water (IP54), or dust free and protected
against water jets (IP65).
Many NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association)
ype 4 cabinets provide this level of protection.
T
•Install
the panel for mounting your system components inside
the enclosure on a flat, rigid, vertical surface that won’t be
subjected to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist, dust, or
corrosive vapors.
Refer to
Environmental Specifications on page 21 for specific
recommendations.
•Maintain minimum clearances for proper airflow, easy module
access, and proper bend radius for the cables as shown in the
figures beginning on page 5
.
•Use high-frequency (HF) bonding techniques to connect the
module, enclosure, machine frame, and motor housing, and to
provide a low-impedance return path for high-frequency (HF)
energy and reduce electrical noise.
Refer to HF Bonding Your Shunt Module, on page 6, for more
information.
Publication 2090-IN004B-EN-P — June 2008
•Se
gregate DC-bus wiring from control wiring and motor
feedback cables. Do not run shunt wiring in wireways. Use
twisted pair cable from the drive to external shunt module.
Refer to
Establishing Noise Zones, beginning on page 6, for
specific recommendations.

The shunt resistors can reach temperatures in excess of 350 °C
(662 °F). Do not handle a shunt module that has been operational until
it has cooled sufficiently.
Combustible materials above the shunt module or its enclosure may
need the protection of a metal plate to shield them from the heat.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to
surrounding materials, possibly leading to a fire or personal injury.
The shunt resistors release large amounts of heat. When mounted
inside an enclosure, you must provide adequate ventilation so the
maximum ambient temperature of 50 °C (122 °F) is not exceeded.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the
module.

HF Bonding Your Shunt Module
Bonding is the practice of connecting metal chassis, assemblies,
frames, shields, and enclosures to reduce the effects of
electromagnetic interference (EMI). For more information on the
concept of high-frequency (HF) bonding, the ground plane principle,
and electrical noise reduction, refer to System Design for Control of
Electrical Noise Reference Manual, publication
To improve the bond between the drive system and subpanel,
construct your subpanel out of zinc plated (paint-free) steel.
