ABB 3AUA0000197000 ACS880-17 Cabinet drive - Regenerative
Part Number: 3AUA0000197000
Quick Summary
The ACS880-17 cabinet drive provides regenerative motor control for industrial machines and packaging lines. Engineers often struggle with energy waste and downtime caused by traditional drives that fail to recover power. This ABB solution is CE compliant and designed for rugged cabinet installations, helping teams meet safety standards and reduce risk. With a broad power range and straightforward integration with existing controls, it delivers measurable improvements in energy efficiency, equipment uptime, and total cost of ownership for manufacturing operations. This translates to faster commissioning on new lines and smoother retrofit projects. Additionally, regenerative energy recovery reduces peak demand penalties and cooling load.
Product Information
Feature: Regenerative energy recovery. The ACS880-17 captures braking energy during deceleration and feeds it back to the DC bus, lowering overall energy consumption and reducing peak demand charges. This means energy savings even in high-duty cycles like conveyors, pumps, and fans. Application examples include packaging lines, material handling, and process cooling where frequent speed changes occur, delivering measurable operating cost reductions. Feature: Cabinet-built design for uptime. The integrated cabinet simplifies installation by reducing wiring and panel space while providing robust enclosure protection for demanding environments. This approach lowers installation time and field fault rates, and supports easier maintenance with clearly labeled connections. Application benefits appear in new installations and retrofits across manufacturing floors, food processing plants, and outdoor packaging lines where weather and dust are considerations. Feature: Wide power range of 45-400 kW. The controller scales from mid to high power motor applications, enabling a single drive family to serve multiple lines and machines. Business impact includes simplified procurement, reduced spare-part inventories, and faster design iterations. Applications span extruders, centrifuges, and large conveyors where the same drive can cover diverse loads, preserving consistency across your automation architecture. Feature: Safety, compliance, and integration readiness. CE compliance supports audits and regulatory alignment, while standard safety interfaces enable safe torque off and controlled shutdowns in automated systems. This drive plays well with common control platforms and fieldbus protocols, easing commissioning and ongoing support. Applications include pharmaceutical packaging, water treatment, and energy-intensive processes that demand reliable safety performance. Feature: Compatibility with existing controls and installation advantages. The ACS880-17 is designed for straightforward retrofit into existing ABB or non-ABB control ecosystems, with documented wiring schemes and clear parameter mappings. This reduces engineering time, lowers risk during upgrades, and supports near-seamless handover to maintenance teams. Applications are retrofit projects in legacy lines or new builds where a robust, drop-in regenerative drive accelerates time-to-value.
