The Allen-Bradley 2198-R031 is a passive shunt module from the Kinetix 5700 series, designed to provide supplementary shunt capacity for applications exceeding the internal capacity of the DC-bus power supply. Featuring a robust structure of resistor coils and an enclosed design, it requires specific clearances and is fitted with a removable cover secured by 5/16 Hex screws. With a resistance rating of 33 Ohms and continuous power rating of 3100 W, this 16.8 kg module must be mounted externally with clear ventilation and is optimally bonded to the panel for reduced electromagnetic interference, ensuring enhanced performance stability.
