FAQs
Installation starts with selecting a standard ABB configuration and ensuring the enclosure is IP54 rated for the environment. Use the drive alongside appropriate line contactors and safety interlocks, verify proper wiring of the regenerative return path, and configure safety features via the ABB engineering tool. The Order-Based Engineering option can shorten customization needs for customer-specific devices.
The drive provides up to 200 kW of regenerative capacity with an input current of 363 A. It achieves unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, improving energy efficiency and reducing electrical stress on the supply network. It supports robust braking energy recovery in cyclic or continuous braking scenarios, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Yes. The regenerative architecture returns braking energy to the power network, reducing heat in resistive braking and cutting cooling requirements. For downhill conveyors and similar loads, you gain energy efficiency, smoother deceleration, and better control of braking torque, with configuration options that tailor the drive to mass, speed, and braking profile.
The ACS880-17 is CE compliant and ships with an IP54-rated enclosure, suitable for a range of harsh industrial environments. The design supports SIL-ready functionality for safety-critical installations. These certifications and ratings help ensure regulatory compliance and reliable operation in challenging facilities such as cranes, elevators, and process lines.
Regenerative drives lower energy costs by reclaiming braking energy and reducing cooling loads, which lowers facility power bills and chiller requirements. They also simplify maintenance by consolidating functions in a single unit and reducing heat-related wear. With standardized configurations and ABB support, installation time is shorter and spare parts availability remains strong, improving total cost of ownership.
