ABB 3AXD50000042309 ACS880-14 Regenerative Drive - 315 kW
Part Number: 3AXD50000042309
Quick Summary
The ABB 3AXD50000042309 ACS880-14 Regenerative Drive is a compact LV AC drive that controls industrial motors for production lines. Engineers frequently battle braking energy waste and cooling overhead that erode uptime and operating margins. It supports CE safety compliance and is designed for robust cabinet installation with low harmonic content; SIL readiness depends on system risk assessment, and IP-rated enclosures vary by configuration. These considerations translate to improved energy efficiency, simplified maintenance, and a stronger ROI for machine builders and system integrators seeking reliable, scalable motor control.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000042309 ABB: The ACS880-14 drives are customized to meet the particular needs of specific industries, such as oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, material handling, pulp and paper, sawmills, marine, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and automotive. They can control a wide range of applications, including cranes, extruders, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, centrifuges, test benches, elevators, extruders, pumps and fans.
The compact ACS880-14 regenerative drive module captures and utilizes braking energy which results in cost savings for the user. With mechanical or resistor braking energy is wasted as heat and additional cooling is often required, whereas regenerative drive operation offers significant savings in energy consumption and cooling. The drive reaches a unity power factor, meaning that electrical energy is used to its full potential. Equipped with an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, the regenerative drive produces exceptionally low harmonic content. These modules are specifically designed for machine builders and systems integrators. Bookshelf and flat variants can easily be pushed inside the cabinet using a pedestal on wheels.
Regenerative energy recovery enables energy savings at braking, reducing utility costs and cooling requirements while maintaining smooth, controlled deceleration for conveyors and cranes. This directly improves total cost of ownership and equipment uptime in heavy-duty processes. Unity power factor, coupled with an integrated low harmonic line filter, delivers better power quality, reducing utility penalties and protecting drive hardware in electrical networks with demanding harmonics. The unit’s compact bookshelf and flat variants, plus a pedestal-on-wheels option, simplify cabinet integration and retrofit projects, saving installation time and space in control rooms. ABB’s ACS880-14 family is designed for sector-specific customization, supporting industries such as oil & gas, mining, metals, and cement with proven reliability. This minimizes risk when integrating pumps, fans, extruders, and winders in new builds or legacy plants. As a result, machine builders and systems integrators can meet strict compliance while accelerating project delivery and reducing lifecycle costs.

FAQs
The ACS880-14 regenerative drive is designed for straightforward cabinet integration with LV AC motors. Verify input voltage compatibility (400 V), ensure proper wiring to the motor and braking circuit, and use the integrated low harmonic filter for power quality. For retrofit projects, consider the bookshelf or flat variants to fit existing cabinet footprints and use the pedestal-on-wheels option to position the drive during installation. Always follow ABB installation guidelines and local electrical codes.
Key specs include a nominal power of 315 kW, current of 585 A, and a 400 V supply. The drive provides a unity power factor and includes an integrated active supply unit with a low harmonic line filter to minimize harmonic disturbance. These features support efficient motor control for heavy-duty applications like conveyors, cranes, pumps, and fans, while aiding compliance with electrical standards.
Yes. The ACS880-14 regenerative module excels in applications with frequent braking and energy recovery needs, such as cranes, winders, conveyors, and pumps used in mining and material handling. Its energy recovery capability reduces overall energy consumption and cooling load, while the unit’s compact form factor simplifies installation in harsh industrial environments typical of mining facilities.
Verify CE safety compliance and ensure the enclosure meets your plant’s IP rating requirements, which depend on cabinet installation and environmental conditions. SIL readiness is determined by your system risk assessment and application constraints. Always consult the latest ABB datasheets and certificates for your specific installation country and industrial sector.
Regenerative braking reduces energy consumption and cooling needs, which lowers utility costs and HVAC load. The integrated design minimizes external components, potentially reducing maintenance spend and spare parts inventory. Over time, improved motor control, reduced wear, and faster project delivery contribute to a favorable ROI, especially in high-duty cycles like material handling and process automation.
