Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240

The Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240, a component of the Kinetix 5700 product family, is a high-performance capacitor module designed for efficient energy management and storage, making it indispensable for maintaining efficient and reliable industrial operations.

Technical Specifications:

The module operates within a voltage range of 276-747 VDC. The control input voltage is 24 VDC with a current requirement of 50 mA. This module extends the DC Bus voltage to another inverter cluster, providing an additional connection point for an active external shunt module.

It is compatible with systems requiring up to 104 amperes of external DC Bus current, and it can be connected in parallel with another accessory module to double this capacity. These indicators ensure straightforward monitoring of operational status.

Physically, the Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 has dimensions of 345 mm (13.58 inches) in height, 55 mm (2.16 inches) in width, and 10 mm (0.39 inches) in depth, with a weight of 3.3 kg (7.2 lbs). The module exhibits varying power dissipation rates, dependent on the load: 28 Watts at 20%, 34 Watts at 40%, 42 Watts at 60%, 51 Watts at 80%, and 62 Watts at 100%.

Mounting Instructions:

Mounting the Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 requires precise steps to ensure secure installation and optimal performance. This module is designed for zero stacking, so make sure the adjacent slots are correctly aligned to accommodate the capacitor module without any gaps.

Carefully position the Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 on the power rail, aligning it with the designated slot. It is crucial to tighten these bolts with a torque of 4.0 N-m (35.4 lb-in) to guarantee a firm attachment. Over-tightening or under-tightening can lead to mechanical stress or connection issues, respectively.

Next, connect the DC Bus (DC) connector to the corresponding bus bar, ensuring a snug fit to prevent any electrical disconnections. These connections are vital for the proper monitoring and operation of the capacitor module. After making the electrical connections, verify that the built-in DC Bus and module status indicators are functioning correctly, indicating a proper installation.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

Proper maintenance and troubleshooting of the Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 are essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Regular maintenance involves periodic inspections and cleaning. Begin by visually inspecting the module for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks or discoloration, which could indicate overheating or electrical faults.

Check the connectors and ensure they are free from dust and debris. Using a soft, dry cloth, gently clean the modules exterior and connectors to maintain good electrical contact and prevent potential connection issues.

Inspect all electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. If the module status indicator is not functioning, check the integrity of the control input power connector and replace it if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What type of bolts are used to the Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240?

M5 (#10-32) steel bolts can be used to mount the Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 securely. These bolts should be tightened with a torque of 4.0 N-m (35.4 lb-in). This specific torque ensures that the bolts are neither too loose nor too tight, preventing mechanical stress and ensuring a secure connection.

What is the capacitance rating of Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 and what to do if fails to store energy?

If the module fails to store energy or provide adequate capacitance, measure the capacitance using a suitable meter to confirm it matches the rated 2240 µF. If the measured capacitance deviates significantly from this value, it may indicate a fault within the module.

What is the energy storage capacity of the Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240, and what connectors does it include?

Designed to support energy storage efficiently, the Allen-Bradley 2198-CAPMOD-2240 boasts an energy capacity of 734 Joules. It includes various connectors for module status (MS), DC-bus (DC), and 24V control input power (CP).
