Allen-Bradley 2198-S160-ERS3 Kinetix 5700 Single-Axis Inverter
Description
100 mm Kinetix 5700 single-axis inverter, 85.0 A rms
If your machine design is built on the Kinetix 5700 DC-bus architecture, 2198-S160-ERS3 is the single-axis inverter with 85.0 A rms continuous output. It accepts 276 to 747V DC, draws 92.3 A of DC input at rating, and delivers up to 160.0 A rms for one second. Continuous power is 60.1 kW at 480V three-phase (30.1 kW at 240V at half power).
At 100 mm wide it suits high-power single-axis duties such as extruder drives, large rolls or heavy test benches.
Position in the family: the single-axis range runs 2198-S086 (43 A), S130 (65 A), S160 (85 A), S263 (150 A) and S312 (192 A) rms. Rockwell allows 160.0 A rms for 1.0 s, around 1.88 times the continuous rating (derived), so size the motor and the move profile accordingly.

System architecture and DC bus
A Kinetix 5700 system pairs one or more inverters with a DC-bus power supply (2198-P031, P070, P141 or P208) or a regenerative bus supply (2198-RP088 to RP312), joined by a snap-fit bus system. The datasheet lists the inverter’s DC input current as 92.3 A and its internal capacitance as 1120 microfarads, and capacitor modules can add energy storage.
Control power is 24V DC to every module, and the recommended minimum cabinet depth is 300 mm. Maximum motor cable length depends on the supply and filter used: up to 400 m with a 2198-DBxx-F EMC line filter, or up to 1200 m with a 2198-DBRxx-F filter.
Heat, cabinet space and weight
The datasheet’s power-dissipation table gives 270 W at 20% of rated output rising to 950 W at 100%. Add this to the panel heat budget. The module weighs 6.80 kg (15.0 lb), and 100 mm of width per module allows tight side-by-side lineups.
Rockwell states that the Kinetix 5700 power density can reduce cabinet space by up to 67% compared with older solutions, a figure from its marketing literature rather than a measurement for this catalog number.
Ordering and documents
Specify 2198-S160-ERS3 in full, together with the DC-bus supply, 24V control supply, motor cables and any capacitor or shunt modules, which are separate catalog numbers. The linked file is 2198-PP002 (Kinetix 5700 product profile) and the tables are from KNX-TD003N, June 2026.
We are an independent supplier in Muscat. Please verify every value with the current Rockwell literature before ordering.
When asking about 2198-S160-ERS3, please include the motor catalog numbers, the cable lengths, the supply voltage, whether the machine uses the hardwired or the integrated safety function, and the network architecture. Servo systems are assembled from several catalog numbers, and a complete list avoids delays and mismatched parts (Kinetix 5700 single-axis inverter, 85.0 A rms , 60.1 kW at 480V, EtherNet/IP).

About brand
Allen-Bradley is the brand of Rockwell Automation for industrial control: ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers, I/O systems, PanelView operator terminals, PowerFlex drives, motor control and industrial network equipment. The company began in Milwaukee in 1903, when Lynde Bradley and Dr. Stanton Allen formed the Compression Rheostat Company to make the motor speed controller Bradley had invented in 1901. It took the name Allen-Bradley in 1909 and was bought by Rockwell International in 1985. Since 2001 its owner has been Rockwell Automation, which is still headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Allen-Bradley company profile

Reading Allen-Bradley catalogue numbers
The first digits of an Allen-Bradley catalogue number identify the platform, which tells you what is compatible with what. 1756 is ControlLogix (chassis-based, used for large process and plant control), 1769 is CompactLogix 5370 with Compact I/O, 5069 is CompactLogix 5380 with Compact 5000 I/O, 1734 is POINT I/O, 1794 and 5094 are FLEX and FLEX 5000 distributed I/O, 1746 and 1747 belong to the older SLC 500 family, 1766 is MicroLogix 1400 and 2080 is Micro800. For drives, 25B is PowerFlex 525 and 22B is PowerFlex 40; in a code such as 25B-D010N114, "D" means 380–480 V, "010" is the output current rating, and N114 instead of N104 means the drive has an integrated EMC filter. Many plants in the region still run SLC 500 and older MicroLogix systems, which Rockwell has discontinued, so exact spares and migration to CompactLogix are both common requests.
Where Allen-Bradley products are used
In Oman and the GCC, Allen-Bradley controllers and drives run on oil and gas facilities, water treatment and pumping stations, cement, food and beverage and packaging plants, and on machines supplied by American OEMs. ControlLogix is often the platform for plant control systems, while PowerFlex drives are used on pumps, fans and conveyors.

Ordering Allen-Bradley products: what we need
Send the full catalogue number and the series letter from the label (for example 1756-EN2T Series D), because firmware and compatibility can change between series. For drives, add the motor power, voltage and filter option. For a discontinued SLC 500 or MicroLogix part, tell us whether you need the exact spare or a migration proposal.
