Allen-Bradley 2198-P208

The Allen-Bradley 2198-P208 DC Bus Power Supply is an integral part of the Kinetics 5700 servo drive system. It is specifically designed to satisfy the high-power demands of industrial automation applications. The 2198-P208 power supply has a wide AC input voltage range, making it flexible and reliable for various system configurations. Its robust design, high current efficiency, and built-in safety features make it an excellent choice for high-performance and durable applications.

Electrical Specifications:

The Allen-Bradley 2198-P208 power supply operates by supplying a 3-phase AC input voltage of 324V to 528V rms (root mean square) with a 47- 63 Hz frequency. The power supply accepts a nominal input voltage of 480V, accommodating both 240V and 480V systems. It provides a continuous output current of 69.2 A DC and a peak voltage of 207.6 A DC for short periods, offering stable operation under high-demand conditions.

Features and Protection Mechanisms:

The 2198-P208 power supply has a compact design with dimensions of 85 mm width, 252 mm height, and 433 mm depth, minimizing space in control panels. The compact design doesnt limit its power supply capabilities. The power supply can withstand a high AC input current of 219.2 A. It can handle the current the first time the system is turned on, making it suitable for applications requiring significant power.

There is a safeguard against overloads and faults using relay-driven contactor-enable circuitry. This feature guarantees the longevity of the connected servo drives. This DC Bus power supply is famous for its efficiency rating of 99%, which reduces energy losses and operational expenses. Moreover, the internal capacitance of 2050 µF absorbs up to 453 J of energy and provides stability during power fluctuations.

This DC Bus power supply is designed for seamless integration with the Kinetix 5700 servo drive in the automation system. It features multiple connectors, including Ethernet ports (RJ45), digital input connectors, and input and power connectors, for easy plug-in to the network.

Mechanical and Environmental Specifications:

The 2198-P208 power supply unit is designed to resist challenging industrial settings and meets IP20 protection standards. It functions well between 0 and 50 °C and may be kept between -40 and +70 °C. This power supply is designed to withstand industrial vibrations (5-55 Hz at 0.35 mm double amplitude and 55-500 Hz at 2.0 g peak) and shocks (15 g, 11 ms half-sine pulse), ensuring stable performance even in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does the Allen-Bradley 2198-P208 handle short-circuit protection?

The Allen-Bradley 2198-P208 utilizes solid-state short-circuit protection to ensure safe operation. This protects external branch circuits according to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and safety regulations.

Can the Allen-Bradley 2198-P208 DC Bus Supply be used in a shared DC bus configuration?

Yes, the 2198-P208 is designed for a shared DC bus system, reducing overall system complexity. Using bus bar connections, the shared drive-to-drive DC bus power connections allow multiple drives to share a single power source.

What are the wiring requirements for the Allen-Bradley 2198-P208 DC Bus Supply?

This power supply requires copper wire with a minimum temperature of 75°C (167°F). Wire sizes between 10 mm² (8 AWG) and 35 mm² (2 AWG) are recommended for main input power. Proper grounding and compliance with electrical regulations are necessary for safe operation.
