Ultra Series drives and controllers can require external power
dissipation when large inertial loads are present. To ensure that drive
faults due to excessive bus voltage do not occur, loads requiring
power dissipation that exceed a drive’s internal shunt capability
require the use of external shunt resistor(s).
The passive shunt (Catalog No. 1398-SR9PF or 2090-UCSR-P900) can
be used with the following products:
DriveCatalog No.
ULTRA 200 Drives 1398-DDM-075, -075X, -150, and -150X
Ultra5000 Drives 2098-IPD-075, -075-DN, -150, and -150-DN
ATTENTION
Using the passive shunt with modules not listed can
cause equipment damage or personal injury.
!
As a motor decelerates, power is returned from the motor to the drive
module, causing the bus voltage on the drive to increase. Ultra servo
amplifier products have circuitry that senses the voltage on the drive’s
DC bus and dissipates power when needed. When the bus voltage
reaches the shunt turn-on voltage of the drive, the internal shunt
circuitry allows the excessive regenerated power to be dissipated
through an external resistor. After the bus voltage is reduced to the
turn-off voltage level, the shunt transistor turns-off and no additional
power is dissipated by the shunt resistor.

Installing the Shunt
Do not mount shunt module

Orientation and Clearance
The following enclosure restrictions must be considered because the
shunt module dissipates excess regenerative power in the form of
heat. Refer to Figure 1 on page 2 and Figure 4 on page 9 for shunt
module spacing requirements.

The shunt module can release a large amount of heat
over time.
Any materials above the shunt module or its
enclosure may need the protection of a metal plate
to keep from deteriorating.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to surrounding materials, possibly leading to
fire.
The shunt module can release a large amount of heat
inside an enclosure.
Ensure there is enough ventilation so as the
maximum ambient temperature of 50° C (122° F) is
not exceeded.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to the shunt module.

900 Watt Passive Shunt Module 3
If the work environment dictates, mount the shunt module in an
enclosure providing protection against dust and splashing water
(IP54), or dust free and protected against water jets (IP65).
ATTENTION
!
Many NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) Type 4
cabinets provide this level of protection.
ATTENTION
Avoid contaminating electronic components.
Provide a quality air source to cabinets; free of
debris, oil, corrosives, or electrically conductive
contaminates. All cabinets should have scheduled
inspections and be cleaned as needed.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could
result in breakdown and damage to equipment.
If you mount the shunt module inside a cabinet, you
must make sure that the ambient temperature inside
the cabinet does not exceed 50° C (122° F).

Securing the Passive Shunt Module
The following procedure assumes you have prepared your mounting
panel. To mount your passive shunt module:
1. Install the top two mounting fasteners on the sub panel for the
shunt module. Refer to Product Specifications on page 8 for
specifications.
2. Mount the shunt module on the two fasteners.
3. Install the lower fasteners.
4. Tighten all mounting fasteners.
Wiring the Passive Shunt Module to a Drive
It is recommended to use shielded, high temperature (75° C, 600V),
8.4 mm
should be 3.05m (10 ft) with the shield grounded at both ends.
Unshielded wiring should be kept as short as possible.
Three recommended methods for wiring to reduce EMI noise can be
used to connect the passive shunt module with your drive.
You can use twisted conductors (2 twists per foot minimum) with
ferrite filters, shielded twisted cable, or shielded metal conduit.
When shielding is used, the shield must be grounded to the shunt and
drive chassis as is the motor power cable.
