(1) An external active shunt can be wired to any of the accessory modules. See Mount Accessory Modules on page 83 for more
information on mounting and accessory module example configurations. The 2198-CAPMOD-2240 capacitor module is
preferred because it provides additional system capacitance.
(2) Position flexible bus-bars (when two accessory modules are used) below the DC-bus lug connections. The flexible bus-bars are
used to parallel the extended DC-bus with another accessory module in 208 A systems (not required when only one accessory
module is used in 104 A systems). Flexible bus-bars are included with 2198-CAPMOD-DCBUS-IO extension modules or you can
order 2198-KITCON-CAPMOD2240 or 2198-KITCON-DCBUSCOND replacement kits.
Bulletin VPC Motors and the Extended Speed Feature
The extended speed feature is implemented in the Logix Designer application
to prevent accidental motor operation at unsafe speeds. See Field Weakening
Mode on page 446 for a description of this feature.
Powerohm Bulletin PKB and PWB active-shunt modules are required for DC-
bus system protection when Bulletin VPC motors are expected to operate in
the extended speed region at speeds exceeding the bus-overvoltage speed limit.
Considerations for Powerohm Shunt Installation
Refer to the Powerohm documentation included with your Bulletin PKB or
PWB shunt module to install, wire, and configure the module.
• To avoid nuisance thermal overload trips, configure Bulletin PKB and
PWB active-shunt modules to the highest shunt turn-on voltage setting.
The recommended setting for Line Voltage Level Jumper is JP5.
• Configure Bulletin PKB and PWB active-shunt modules in Internal
(automatic) mode. Unless an external enable signal is provided,
configure the Brake Enable Jumper in Internal (automatic) mode (JP6 is
in the downward position).

WARNING: Bulletin VPC motor operation at speeds exceeding the bus-
overvoltage speed limit can result in personal injury and/or damage to the
drive. To avoid equipment damage and personal injury, an active shunt must
be configured in the Logix Designer application to protect the DC-bus system
from an overvoltage condition.
IMPORTANT Refer to Motion Analyzer software to verify drive/shunt system sizing.
