Drives can require external power dissipation when large inertial
loads are present. To ensure that faults due to excessive bus voltage
do not occur, loads requiring power dissipation that exceed the
internal shunt capability require the use of external shunt resistor.
The passive shunt (Catalog No. 9101-1183, formerly 9101-1079) can be
used with the following products:
DriveCatalog No.
ULTRA 200™ Drives 1398-DDM-010, -010X, -020, -020X, -030, -030x,-075, and
-075X
ULTRA Plus™ Drives 1398-PDM-010, -020, -030, and -075
Ultra5000™ Drives 2098-IPD-030, -030-DN, -075, and -075-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,
causing the bus voltage to increase. Ultra servo amplifier products
have circuitry that senses the voltage on the DC bus and dissipates
power when needed. When the bus voltage reaches the shunt turn-on
voltage, 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
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 for shunt module spacing requirements.

ATTENTION
!
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.

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 7 for
mounting hardware specifications.
2. Mount the shunt module on the two fasteners.
3. Install the lower fastener.
4. Tighten all mounting fasteners.
Wiring the Passive Shunt Module to a Drive
ATTENTION
!
90° C (194° F), 600V, 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG) copper wire is supplied with
the shunt. The maximum length of the wire should be 914.4 mm (36.0
in.).
Two recommended methods for wiring to reduce EMI noise can be
used to connect the passive shunt module with your drive:
•Twisted conductors (2 twists per foot minimum) with ferrite filters,
•Shield the shunt-to-drive wiring by enclosing in grounded metal
conduit.
DC bus capacitors may retain hazardous voltages
after input power has been removed, but will
normally discharge in several seconds.
Before working on the drive, measure the DC bus
voltage to verify it has reached a safe level or wait a
full 5 minutes to ensure that all voltages on the
system bus have discharged.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Always keep unshielded wiring as short as possible. When shielding is
used, the shield must be grounded to the shunt and drive chassis
ground as is the motor power cable.

2. Remove the factory installed internal shunt jumper between
terminals 1 and 2 of TB2.
3. Connect the lead wires to terminals 1 and 3 of TB2. Tighten screws

4. Gently pull on each wire to make sure it does not release from its
terminal.
5. Re-insert and tighten any loose wires.
6. Connect the lead wires to the terminal block on the bottom of the
external shunt. Polarity is not important. Tighten screws to 2.25
Nm (20 lb-in.).
Connecting to the Ground Terminal
